Patio Update Reveal

There is something about a well-designed outdoor back patio or living space. If done properly, it beckons you to come, sit down, relax and share the moment with family and friends.

The best-designed outdoor spaces serve as effortless extensions of our home, family, and lifestyle. We want our outdoor spaces to truly work as outdoor rooms that are both functional and beautiful! As a result, we will spend more time here. After all, isn’t that the goal?

Our back patio serves as a continuation of our living room with or without the French doors open. The space is ideal to invite friends over for a fun weekend dinner party. The space was great, but the furniture was lacking. Therefore, we recently decided to upgrade with two new chairs, end tables, and a coffee table. As you can see, what an improvement!
Now this looks and feels like the ultimate weekend relaxation spot!
We kept our love seat and replaced everything else. You can see how this space looked before in my Fall Patio and Dinner Party posts. Below, we added adirondack-like chairs to take advantage of the beautiful forested view. They actually recline, so they’re perfect for relaxing.
This arrangement is designed to be elegant and intimate. Therefore, the chairs face each other to encourage conversation.
The new coffee table and end tables  compliment the chairs, while a new outdoor rug provides a more sophisticated look.
With both doors open, the patio is truly part of our living room. During cooler months, we alter the arrangement and enjoy having a fire burning while we watch football games. There is a peek of the fireplace below.

We love to entertain and now we have a much more inviting spot to do so.

While we want the flow from the home to seamlessly connect to our outdoor spaces, all of us seem to want to create an outdoor oasis. In doing so, it offers us that bit of tranquility and an escape from the stresses of every day life. Being outdoors is relaxing in a way which cannot be found within four walls.

When I am looking for furniture for any space, I want it to be inviting, functional as well as attractive. In 2016, I became a Style Maker for Summer Classics. I’m so please with the pieces I’ve received from them. In my opinion, they never disappoint in any of the aspects I mentioned above and the quality is superb. As a result, their pieces have helped me create an inspired retreat which just might be my favorite space currently. I absolutely love this updated outdoor living room.

A special thank you to Summer Classics for making this post possible.

    Love this! Can you tell me which fabric you picked out for your chairs and pillows? We recently ordered the teak sofa, chairs, coffee table and end tables. I’m really hoping our fabric won’t be too yellow, but the perfect off white. I want the same rug you have as well. I plan on adding a little color with sea glass blue. We got the unweathered version, and I’m hoping it weathers quickly so it won’t look too orangey on our screened in covered porch.

      Thank you! I chose classic linen – natural. It definitely looks ivory, not yellow. The rug coordinates perfectly! Hope this helps and good luck with your project!

        Thank you very much for your prompt reply! Can you please tell me if you used a rug pad? Not sure if I’ll need to order one, but it suggests it on amazon. I didn’t know if the humidity would damage it or not? Could you tell me what size pillows you have? And which exact glasses those are from Wayfair? I can’t tell if they are green, clear or blue? I love the shape of them. Sorry for all the questions!

          Of course! I did not order a rug pad because our surface is concrete that is not particularly smooth. I would recommend one if your surface is smooth. I’ve had my stemware for about 6 years and have been unable to find the exact ones to link, but these are very close. I also just purchased these for my patio which are very nice outdoor ones. The outdoor pillows I have can be found here and I use these outside too, but they are not indoor/outdoor.

            Hey! It’s me again! 🙂 Can you tell me what colors of pillows you have on your chairs and which ones they are? I’m looking at Pottery Barn but can’t figure out which white/off white pillows work best with the Summer Classics Classic Linen Natural cushions. Sometimes the cushions look a little peach to me. Just want a calm, sophisticated relaxed but elegant look. You’ve got the look down that I’ve always envisioned but can you help with what exact pillows you have? What do you recommend going into Fall? How do you warm it up, or do you just keep it like this? Thanks so much.

    I don’t believe they still carry my exact pillows this time of year. Sorry! I will definitely warm up the patio going into fall. I’ll try to share it here on the blog.
