How to Style Your Patio for Summer
Roll Out an Outdoor Rug
Durable and oh-so-stylish, outdoor rugs have come a long way from their early (and often plasticky) incarnations. Today’s outdoor rugs, like the chic selections from Ballard Designs, are soft underfoot, available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and sizes, and incredibly weather-resistant. They’ll prettify your patio for many springs to come, turning it into an outdoor living room you’ll love spending time in.
These Spanish tile outdoor rugs are specially designed to lay across your patio or deck. Ideal for adding an extra layer of comfort underfoot while helping define any outdoor area. Try them around seating or a barbecue, for instance. The rugs are made of ultra-hardwearing, finely spun polypropylene yarns and are totally weatherproof. You can leave them out in the rain, sun and even frost. What’s more, the rugs are resistant to mold and mildew so you can use them in a summerhouse or high-traffic indoor space too. Plus, outdoor rugs are a cinch to clean – simply wipe or hose them down. This season we’ve added even more shapes, designs and colours to choose from. You’re sure to find one to complement any of your outdoor or indoor areas.

An Interesting Side Table
Every outdoor space needs a handy side table to place your drink or book on. This round terrazzo side table, by 2B Collection, is the perfect addition. Crafted from Terrazzo grinding stone material, it showcases a unique beauty from multi-colored stones or Bat Trang terracotta pieces. The streamlined design creates an elegant impression with exquisite craftsmanship.
The table features round or flat solid iron legs, painted black or bronze, and a round Terrazzo stone surface with three options: terracotta Terrazzo, large green stone Terrazzo, and small white stone Terrazzo. Not only does it bring high aesthetic value, but the Terrazzo shelf model also offers extremely flexible uses. It can be used as a small tea table, side table, decorative shelf next to the sofa, or cabinet shelf.
Set Up a Stylish Outdoor Bar
No summer patio is complete without a well-appointed outdoor bar. Create a space where you and your guests can enjoy refreshing beverages with ease and style. Start with a sturdy bar cart or a dedicated bar area equipped with shelves for glasses and mixers. Incorporate our handmade and hand-painted ice buckets to elevate your outdoor entertaining. These unique pieces are not only functional, keeping your drinks perfectly chilled, but also add a refined touch that will have your guests feeling the unique aspect of refined sipping. Whether you prefer classic cocktails or innovative mocktails, a stylish bar setup will enhance your outdoor living experience.
Floral Arrangements
Flowers are one of the easiest ways to perk up your patio — but don’t limit blooms to the surrounding beds and containers. When planning a party, like a sweet spring brunch, bring your backyard’s blooms to the table, too. Tip: Cut flowers early in the morning when the air and ground temps are cooler and plants are least stressed. Be sure to place the cut blooms directly into a bucket of water to prevent moisture loss. When arranging, re-cut the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them into a vase with added floral preservative.
