June 26, 2008 - MERRILLVILLE, IN - DirectBuy, the leading members-only showroom and home design center, has some surefire tips on turning the outside of your house into an extra living space as inspiring as your home’s interior while also saving money.
“To create the perfect outdoor entertaining area you really need to think outside the grill, as it were, and picture your outdoor area as another room in your home,” said Sara Shragal, of DirectBuy.
Some things to consider when setting up your outside space:
● Move your favorite chair outside. Of course, sensitive fabrics won’t hold up under adverse conditions so choose wisely. Anything comfortable and easily covered in rain or intense heat will work best.
● When entertaining, an outdoor table is a must. You can go traditional with four patio chairs, an umbrella and a table; or go more modern with a tall, pub table and high back bar chairs. These are perfect for relaxing with friends and a cool drink.
● Keep in mind also that most outdoor furniture lasts 2-3 years, although more durable materials like wrought iron will obviously last much longer.
● A classic outdoor patio style – Wicker – is timeless in its popularity. While not withstanding the elements, it does offer countless options for coordinating light colors, floral prints and stylish cushions.
● Add ambient lighting. There are many options available, especially for those with a deck. Under railing illumination can set a relaxing mood, while scented torches placed above the railing will add an exotic appeal and keep pesky bugs away.
