Taking the Indoors Out

April 4, 2011

I think it’s safe to say, spring is finally here! (maybe? please?!) As the weather warms, it’s only natural to begin venturing outside more often for small gatherings, cookouts with friends and neighbors, pool lounging, and drinks on the back porch. Is your space ready?

Outdoor “rooms” are a great way to expand your living space, especially if you don’t have ample square footage indoors. They also give you the opportunity to have fun and go wild with colors, textures and lighting if you’re too nervous to explore your creativity indoors.

Keep in mind not only what you see, but what you smell and hear as well. Plant interesting plants and beautiful flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Add soothing water elements for a relaxing space.

Lighting is key when the gatherings last through the night. Create interesting focal points with fun lanterns, spot lighting, and ground lighting.

These outdoor spaces have me inspired to redo mine just in time for all of our summer parties!
I am looking for new fresh recipes to kick off the celebrating of warm weather!!!
