Four Outdoor Summer Party Décor Ideas
August 2, 2017
Summer is officially in full swing.
Each weekend, we gather with family and friends around our porches and gazebos and enjoy the relaxing tranquility that we associate with warmer weather. Our outdoor living areas provide the perfect place to gather and unwind from a long day or week, and floor coverings make them even more comfortable and appealing. Here’s how to choose the perfect outdoor summer rug for your space:
Consider Your Needs
Take a look at your current outdoor setup. Is it a place for people to gather around and eat a multiple course dinner? Or is it full of comfy lounges and chairs? If it’s the former, consider placing a rug directly under your outdoor dining area. If it’s the latter, a large area rug to center all your outdoor furniture will create a conversation piece.
Add an Outdoor Summer Rug with Color
Do you love the look of a bold hue but have always been afraid of using bright colors indoors? A sunny outdoor setting provides the perfect venue to experiment with different colors. An abstract pattern plays well with neutral outdoor dining furniture, while bright solid hues or alternating brights and whites adds a preppy flair.
Create Zones
If you’re working with limited space, an assortment of rugs with similar patterns can help create designated areas for eating, drinking, and conversation. The right rugs create effective “zones” that make even the smallest of spaces seem warm, inviting, and large enough to accommodate a crowd. Mix and match to create an eclectic look, or keep it all in the same color family to evoke a minimalist feel.
Your outdoor living space is a reflection of your personal style, and a rug helps bring it all together. No matter your style or price point, there’s a rug out there that will perfectly capture your chosen outdoor mood. Which will you choose this summer season?
