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.
Bring in Wood Burning Fire Pits
Despite living in a highly technical world, nothing beats the charm of wood burning fire pits. You can easily have one set up in your backyard or even on your patio. You can even place a few outdoor benches for you and your family to sit and watch the fire burn bright and warm. Some innovative designers have even come up with the idea of fire pit tables. Not only will these wow your guests, but they’ll keep your loved ones warm as you sit and chat on your patio or in your outdoor seating area.
Be Adventurous
While most stores offer outdoor furniture sets and matching decorations, nothing beats the thrill of mixing and matching different bits and pieces to come up with a unique design. Your backyard or patio can feature both wrought iron outdoor benches and wooden tables as long as they gel well. Aside from making your outdoors stand out from the rest of the neighborhood, carrying out this little tip will help you exercise your personal style and design skills.
Turn Your Outdoors into Your Personal Retreat
Be it due to finance or hectic work schedules, most people find it hard to travel every time they want a break. However, you don’t need to wait till summer or Christmas to enjoy a little time off. Your backyard can easily become a small retreat where you can take mini vacations whenever you need them. What makes this option even more attractive is that it will cost less than a regular vacation but its effects will last longer. You can check the outdoor furniture offerings at different stores to be inspired.
You can use some or all of these tips to make your outdoor furniture classy, functional and very stylish in 2014. So don’t hesitate to implement them before your neighbors do.
