Let’s Take it Outside Your indoor design voice is just the inspiration for outfitting outdoor rooms.

Not so much when it comes to designing outdoor space. There, inspiration must come from a thoughtful homeowner. One popular strategy is to strive for a consistent look indoors and out, choosing the same colors and styles so one area joins almost seamlessly with the other. Plants are a good way to tie indoors and outdoors, says Chicago landscape designer Craig Jenkins-Sutton, owner of Topiarius. Choosing a style of outdoor furniture that’s consistent with your interior furnishings helps, too. “If you’ve got a contemporary home, try patio furniture with more geometric patterns and clean, simple lines. For the Victorian homes, you could go more billowy and lush,” Jenkins-Sutton says. But everything doesn’t have to match perfectly. “For me, there are two primary strategies: monochromatic or contrast,” said Sarah Barnard of Sarah Barnard Design in Santa Monica, Calif. For example, for outdoor living space near a garden with bright tropical plants – red, orange and yellow – choose complementary colors for furnishings and accessories – green, blue and purple – to create visual excitement. Choose a monochromatic palette for a quieter, more restrained look. “I had a client with an aquamarine pool tile. Rather than find the obvious complementary color, like a yellow or green, we kept everything close to monochromatic, neutral creams and tans and lighter shades of that tile that were already in the landscape,” Barnard says.

To make a man made pool and lawn area blend into the landscape, “Don’t try to make the pool look like a pond and the lawn look like a valley,” says Dennis Stevens of Lindeman/Stevens Landscape Designs in Los Angeles. Choose “woodsy” furniture and accessories that downplay man made elements, Stevens says. Custom furniture is ideal for creating a look uniquely suited to an individual space. If your budget won’t stretch that far, there are lots of tricks to cut costs, Barnard says. For example, put higher-end, weatherproof fabric on low-cost outdoor furniture, or splurge on high-quality throw pillows and other accessories to dress up an ordinary patio set. Even something as simple as interesting place mats and dishes can give a plain table a cheap makeover. Remember, plants and landscaping are as much a part of outdoor design as furniture. Springing for exotic flowers, shrubs and trees in key spots can make a big difference. |
