Resort Vibes Patio Trends

Need a vacation?  Give your backyard resort vibes and make everyday feel like a retreat from daily life.

Create a luxury vacation feel with private seating areas or gather chairs around a firepit for hours of lounging.

Set up an outdoor bar area to really set the tone and don’t forget a dining table to make you feel like you’re at your favorite beachside restaurant.  A daybed has us dreaming of long afternoons at the pool and is a great addition to your backyard if you have the room.  Add a few throw pillows to maximize comfort.  Or add a hammock to make your backyard paradise complete.

Patio Trends

Modern Rustic

Elevated, earthy tones with plenty of textural interest in the form of stone, jute and wood, this style calls to mind the raw beauty of the desert. Think ivories and rustic terracotta.  Clean lines, organic shapes and natural materials beckon you to linger in sculptural rattan chairs over small bites on hand-thrown pottery.

Add an olive or citrus tree to a low stone planter for some subtle color and feel whisked away.

Nautical Glam

You never go wrong with a bold awning stripe. We also love the old school, sophisticated glamor of a blue and white color palette.

Anchor the nautical feel with a graphic blue and white indoor/outdoor rug.  Chic teak chaise lounges are timeless, especially when topped with crisp white cushions.

Rest your favorite spritz on a sculptural side table that can go from lawn to living room. Add a playful pagoda-style umbrella that promises seaside breezes even if you’re landlocked and then dust off your tennis whites.

Bohemian Tuin

Boho chic decor continues to be one of the most popular styles, so why not bring the look outdoors.

Rattan furniture pieces like lounge chairs lend an airiness to the look or really embrace the 70’s style with a hanging rattan chair.  Keep it tonal with a jute rug, woven poufs and a lounge daybed.

A fringe umbrella keeps things cool in a luxe, bohemian way and the natural color feels sophisticated when paired with natural materials.  Potted cactus or palms lend a breezy vibe, perfect for channeling those boho vibes.

White Garden

Keep it cool and casual with a monochromatic look.

Sophisticated shades of white feel bright and modern when layered.  Try a subtly patterned rug to lay the foundation for an outdoor living room.

Try a streamlined outdoor sofa in a creamy shade of white, a concrete coffee table and seating in unexpected materials like rope, staying in the same color palette.

Side tables and poufs make for intimate conversation areas and are the perfect place to rest a cocktail or your favorite summer read.  Layer on decorative pillows with hints of elevated earth tones and be sure to create romantic mood lighting with tall lanterns.
