With 2013 out of the window and 2014 setting in, it is time that you embrace the new year with a few changes. So, in addition to the list of resolutions you plan on keeping, give your outdoors a little makeover with the help of outdoor furniture. Whether you have a nice setup already or have always dreamed of having a seating area outside, here are five tips to help you get ready for 2014.

Embrace Vibrant Colors

In 2014, you can use vibrant shades and playful patterns in your outdoor decorations and furnishings to give your backyard a fun vibe. Just make sure that everything you use is stain and weather resistant to ensure the beauty of your outdoors for a long time.

Invest in Deep Seat Dining

Sunken outdoor seating is growing in popularity these days, so you can expect it to be extremely trendy by the New Year. This is an excellent option if your family shares your love for the outdoors or if you tend to have people over often. However, keep in mind that you will need the help of an interior designer and some laborers to create the area before you can place your outdoor furniture.
