Are you seeking some styling inspo for your deck or patio? Take a look at these colour-based schemes that will transform your outdoor living space
4 outdoor living trends we love and where you can shop the look
1. Ray of sunshine
Vibrant colours bring a delightful splash of summer fun. Mix in plenty of fresh white to stop the look getting too busy.
2. Nice and neutral
Create a beach-shack vibe using the colours of wispy cloud, straw hats and sandy feet – just be sure to add lots of texture for interest.
3. Call it the blues
Summon the sea to your outdoor space with ocean hues. Canvas, rope or a jaunty stripe will add to the sense of seaside bliss.
4. Leafy greens
A lush foliage theme can be taken in any direction from tropical jungle to Victorian fernery. Add natural materials – bamboo, cane, dark wood – as a counterpoint to the patterns.
