5 ways to freshen up an outdoor spaces

I love sitting on our back porch (and so do our kids), so I take the time each season to freshen up our back screened-in porch.  Today I’m sharing some ideas to update your back porch with my partner, Keter.

Here are 3 ways to freshen your outdoor space:

1. See your personality shine and give your space character, you can build over time and not rush into things!    Fun pillows, tables and beautiful plants can make a huge difference.   Place an ottoman or California Table close to a chair so it feels like a place to just sit & put your feet up.
   
2. Welcome small spaces with pieces that last – Even small outdoor spaces can feel spacious.  It is just about using the right accents in the right places.   Use furniture that fits the space, like this deep seating lounge set from Keter .    It looks like wicker but resists weather damage.  It’s easy to keep it looking nice.  It’s a virtually maintenance free durable resin build.  Plus, it was lightweight, so I was able to move it around myself.
3. Create conversation areas.  There are so many options for seating arrangements.  Find one that fits your space.4. Dine with family and friends –  Having dinner on the back porch is one of my favorite things. Our family loves to eat outside, because it reminds me of eating on our porch when I was little.  We have our back porch table and we use it for eating dinner almost every night in the spring & summer, under ceiling fans.
   5. Use extra space.  This year, we put Easy Grow planters out on our back porch so we could have a garden.  It’s been a great science lesson for the kids & a great way to have fresh vegetables every day.
