Staycations equal fabulous outdoor essentials. I have 5 to share so you can enjoy your home outdoor patio all summer (and year round). Are you a patio lounger and entertainer? Are you looking to to add some vigor and pep to your outdoor setting? This expert Seattle interior designer is ready with some quick suggestions.
Here are five options that make a staycation special. Heads up, that means color.
Let’s begin with your patio umbrella. The opportunities for umbrellas are ever expanding. They are of so many sizes and shapes plus fabrics like Sunbrella. An umbrella makes your Staycation cool and comfortable.
Next, what about a rug? A rug sets the furniture arrangement and allows all the food and beverage drops to be washed away easily. Indoor to outdoor rugs are a mainstay of my interior design. I use them in kitchens and mudrooms too.
Outdoor furniture invites restful occasions and casual entertaining. Seating for two or more needs to reflect comfort and your personal preference. Are you reading, dosing in your chair, or chatting with family and friends. Maybe all of the above.
Inviting seating for two or more sets the stage for a Staycation.
Next add pillows to your outdoor seating just as you would your indoor furniture. Consider it a Staycation staple for a comfortable sofa or chair. Your family and friends are of all different sizes and a pillow accommodates different people and seating.
The final and very important Staycation ingredient is your table. Decorating and setting your table colorfully sends a strong message of hospitality. Keeping a variety of tablecloths and napkins at your ready is essential. And don’t forget votives and candles too.
