Looking for a way to give your home a fresh new look? Well, look no further. This time of year, a great way to dress up your home is from the outside in. Lifestyle expert Elizabeth Mayhew offers some ideas for creating a beautiful backyard oasis.
With all home purchases, you have to consider questions of design, budget and lifestyle. Buying outdoor furniture is no exception. You want your outdoor furniture to not only reflect your own personal style, but also to stand up to the elements and your family’s activities. So, before you rush out on the next sunny Saturday to outfit your patio, backyard, deck or pool, take into consideration the following things:
Buy outdoor furniture that is a natural extension of your indoor décor and your house’s architectural style. If your house is modern, then purchase modern-styled outdoor tables, chairs and chaises. If your house is styled like an English cottage, then choose similar-styled outdoor furniture. Luckily for all, there is so much available on the market, from color to shape to style, that you can find any and all trends represented.
Consider your budget. It is possible to find very inexpensive outdoor furniture, but realize that often less-expensive furniture does not wear as well. You will be better off buying the best quality (usually more expensive) pieces you can. Outdoor furniture — like the major pieces in your house — is an investment.
Make smart material decisions. Outdoor furniture tends to be made from three main materials: Wood, synthetics and metal. The style of furniture you choose will partly determine the material you choose, but your lifestyle will as well. The different materials require different degrees of maintenance and care. They also have different levels of mobility — some are quite heavy, while others are dainty and easily moved.
