Outdoor is a lovely space to spend the time in the summer season when the sun is shining and the weather is gorgeous. No matter what your favorite activities are: gardening, family and friends gathering, or just chilling and sunbathing – your outdoor home is perfect for it all! Asean Sourcing offers countless outdoor furniture and decor that allow you to set and mix and match your outdoor space, no matter what theme you would like to apply and what activities you have planned. Let’s check out some common mistakes to avoid when you decorate your outdoor space.
Too much furniture
Designing and decoring an outdoor space can be a fun activity. You can mix and match the furniture and décor and apply many themes you wanted. But, adding too much furniture to your outdoor space sometimes is not a good idea. Let’s say you would add your new furniture set that you just bought, your husband’s treasured couch from the deck of his previous frat house, and the kids’ plastic dining set—within those three-or-so outside walls. It can feel too crowded. It’s no surprise that it appears to be a patio furniture yard sale rather than a beautiful, relaxing, and cozy furnished outside area.
Furthermore, the area in a well-proportioned outdoor room should be designed for your activities. This can be dinner, relaxing after work, or just simply chit-chat with your friend and family. The best way to decorate the outdoor area is by choosing furniture that is appealing, functional, and appropriate for the room.
No decorative items
Imagine that you go to a furniture store to buy one of those nice deep-seating patios sets with two sofas and matching ottomans. Perhaps you purchase a table or two with a frame that complements the set. Typically, this style of set is entirely tan, beige, taupe, fawn, off-white, or greige. You set it up in your outdoor room, take a few steps back, and wonder what’s missing.
Yes, true! Accessories. Adding some outdoor accessories can beautify your space. And outdoor accessories – not anything that can be moved from the living room to the patio, should be waterproof and resistant to the natural elements.
Some of the outdoor decor and accessories that you can add to your outdoor space include:
Garden statues, pottery, hanging ornaments, outdoor wall art, pillows and cushions, candles, lighting fixtures, etc.
No plants
Adding outdoor furniture and décor such as a great deep-seating set, a couple of side tables, and a container or two seems enough to make the space feel cozy and comfortable. But outdoor space can’t go without greenery. Add some plants such as potted plants, patio trees, a dish garden, or perhaps a vase filled with cut roses from surrounding bushes can complement your outdoor space because plants can help to soften the look of the outdoor space. You can also add a sweet-smelling plumeria or gardenia to the mix if you choose wisely, for a delightful experience when mild winds stir up the aroma in the evening.
Bad furniture arrangement
When designing a patio or outdoor space, it is better to arrange your furniture to create a comfortable conversation area. The chairs should be near enough to allow for a conversation without shouting while still allowing for movement and should be arranged in a circle around a low table for beverages or plates.
You’ll have a great big bare patch in the middle of the room if you line up patio furniture against the walls of your outdoor room—a “firing squad” design concept that doesn’t always work indoors or out. This is ideal if you intend to use the room for dancing or after-dinner karaoke.
