- What's new in outdoor living areas today?
Summer often means enjoying the outdoors with friends and family for a weekend barbecue or catching some sun by the pool. Now that pleasant weather is upon us, you may be thinking about what can be done to dress up your outdoor living space for entertaining, and recreating a resort getaway in you own backyard.
When deciding on what you can do to improve your outdoor living area, think of it as an extension of your indoor living space, by creating an ’interior look’ outside. This means bringing your interior palette outside by choosing decor that complements your indoor look. This can be reflected in the type of flowers planted, designer fabrics chosen as well as furniture and furnishings.
The dramatic designer collection of indoor/outdoor designer fabrics featured below are inspired by the poolside lifestyle of Los Angeles and Palm Springs, and also a variety of cultural influences and landscapes which are found in California, with a retro twist.
