Living Large Outdoors: Top Trends in Outdoor Furniture Decor

BOSTON, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- This year's top trends in outdoor furniture offer many options for living large out-of-doors, in comfort and style, says Davis Remignanti, lead designer for FurnitureFind.com:

-- Inside Style, Outside Function. Discover new designs that don't look obviously like outdoor furniture (www.furniturefind.com/less-than- stronggreater-than-Outdoor-Furnitureless-than-stronggreater-than-C25963.html) (Due to length of URL, please copy and paste into browser). Seating and tables constructed of weather-resistant materials look less like cabana furnishings and more like classic indoor designs (http://www.furniturefind.com/Kingsley-Bate-Teak-TB38-IB15-KB1392.html).

-- Design Underfoot. Nothing defines a furnished area like a rug, and every year the selection of rugged outdoor floor decor gets nicer (http://www.furniturefind.com/Homespice-Decor-Tuscany-HSD1087.html). Or, consider a painted rug. Use quality deck paint, a good sealer and a little creativity to break up the long expanse of wood.

-- Bringing the Indoors Outside. Some furniture designed for indoor use can work just fine outdoors. Look for pieces constructed of metal, glass and stone, which will develop a patina over time when exposed to the elements (http://www.furniturefind.com/Koch-Originals-7271-260-KO1034.html). That old Baker's rack can function as a beautiful bar or plant stand, and the metal and glass cocktail table that looked beautiful in your living room will add a touch of glamour to your outdoor space.

-- Temporary Walls. Define your patio or outdoor space (and add to your privacy) by constructing outdoor walls with simple supports and draped fabrics like sail cloth or rip-stop nylon. Let the panels flutter in the breeze or secure them all around, but keep in mind the amount of wind your outdoor space experiences.

-- Twinkle, Twinkle. Bring light to your space in new and interesting ways. An old electric ceiling fixture with glass hurricanes can be hung over head, without electricity, to serve as a candelier. Or, hang several Bethlehem stars with tea lights. Or, the old standby, strings of white Christmas lights to offer a magical flavor to evening entertaining.

FurnitureFind.com (www.furniturefind.com) provides an excellent shopping experience for their customers every step of the way -- with the largest selection of brand-new merchandise from top manufacturers at the lowest prices and service only a phone call or email away.
