Are you looking to create a stylish
outdoor living space? All it takes are a few colorful chairs and tables to
match the exterior decor. The problem is there are so many different types,
shapes, sizes, and colors of patio furniture; it can be a little overwhelming
deciding what you want and what you need.
Well at Garden.com, we don't just
sell outdoor furniture and decor; we also use it, especially when it is nice
outside! Here are a few staff picks of their favorite outdoor living motifs:
We enjoy our backyard; as a matter
of fact, accessorizing it has become a hobby. The backyard landscape includes
an ever-growing collection of desert rock, cacti, and other drought resistant
plants. I have recently begun collecting garden lanterns
to light up the patio after dark; terracotta works beautifully in our
Southwestern style yard. I have combined glazed and unglazed lanterns, and used
a mix of actual candles and flameless candles. I also enjoy terracotta pots
for my flowering plants. The pottery provides a nice contrast with our espresso
colored wicker patio furniture, dark red cushions, and natural fiber pillows.
The next earth element we plan to add to the backyard landscape is water, but
our dilemma is should we install a fountain, a pond,
or both? - Carmen
My 1940s stucco and tile bungalow has a small brick patio leading from a 12x12
foot living room and office. I am creating an outdoor living space beyond the
sliding glass door that matches my indoor Tuscan style. Inside the house, the
furniture consists of a dark wooden trunk with black wrought iron hardware that
 I use as a coffee table in front of my brown leather sofa. My corner office
space is an old wrought iron bookcase and a dark wooden desk. In the opposite
corner is my overstuffed reading chair and ottoman that sits under a black
wrought iron floor lamp. The chair and the room’s accent colors are cobalt blue
and dark orange, which my girlfriend said, is actually "persimmon." I
want to carry the colors through to the patio. Other plans include a dark wooden pergola
and wrought iron table
with cushioned chairs.
Once those items are in place, I will find some extras to tie it all together. –

My husband and I are trying to meld our two very different styles into one
home. My little white cottage is filled with a light and airy French Country
theme. I have a fondness for white lace, flowers, and blue and white porcelain
accents everywhere. The house is too feminine for my husband, so we search for
ways to make what was once just mine now feel like ours, and we are slowly
making progress.
My husband brought only his prized possessions. The good news is I like the
dark Parson’s table he inherited from his grandparents. It currently serves as
a sideboard in the dining room. However, we have not found a good place for his
black leather recliner and his chrome floor lamp. I am toying with the idea of
putting a man cave outside. The patio area consists of a cracked cement slab
that we are thinking about tiling over. We definitely have our work cut out for
us. –
