When the weather warms up and the sunshine lingers a little longer, there’s nothing better than spending time outside. Whether you’re hosting friends, sipping your morning coffee, or winding down after a long day, your outdoor space deserves just as much attention as your interior.
At Deloufleur Decor & Designs, we believe creating a dreamy patio starts with intention and just a little bit of planning. Here are a few of our favorite tips to help you build a summer-ready oasis you’ll never want to leave.
1. Start with function first
Before you start browsing furniture or styling with accessories, ask yourself how you want to use your outdoor space. Are you planning to entertain? Do you envision quiet lounging with a book and a breeze? Your layout should reflect your lifestyle.
If you’re the host with the most, opt for a dining set with ample seating and space to move around comfortably. Prefer a more relaxed vibe? A pair of deep lounge chairs with a side table might be all you need.
2. Don’t forget the shade
Sunshine is great, but not all day long. Incorporate umbrellas, pergolas, or shade sails to keep your space comfortable even during peak heat hours. This not only protects your skin, but also helps preserve the life of your furniture and fabrics.
Looking to soften things up even more? Try flowing outdoor curtains or a canopy for that breezy resort-like feel.
Just like your indoor living spaces, your patio benefits from texture and softness. Cushions, throw pillows, and outdoor rugs add coziness and make a statement. Look for materials designed to withstand the elements so you don’t have to sacrifice style for durability.
Bonus tip: layered lighting like lanterns, string lights, or solar-powered sconces can set the mood when the sun goes down.
Create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor areas by echoing your style outside. Whether your home leans modern, coastal, or traditional, carry that same energy through in your patio choices. Tie it all together with accent tables, decorative planters, and a pop of greenery.
Want a quick, affordable refresh? Accessories are your secret weapon. Change out pillow covers, add a bold table runner, or try new pots and planters filled with seasonal blooms. Small changes make a big difference and help you keep things fresh all summer long.
At Deloufleur Decor & Designs, we offer a curated selection of high-quality outdoor furniture to help bring your vision to life. While we don’t stock patio pieces in-store, our showroom features an extensive catalog look-book where you can browse and choose the perfect fit for your style. Order early to beat the summer rush and enjoy every sun-soaked moment in comfort and style.
