1. DECORATING OUTDOORS ON A DECK

This spring we updated the deck of our barn/shed with all new furniture, and it’s so cozy to sit here in shade of the trees when our main patio becomes too hot.

I love that you can design your own sofa based on the dimensions of your space. You have a lot of freedom with this sectional sofa!

2. DECORATING OUTDOORS ON A CONCRETE SLAB

Decorating such a large space was much simpler once I decided to break the space up into sections. We have one area for dining, and one for lounging. This makes the expansive area seem more like outdoor rooms. You can find all the sources and information on this gorgeous outdoor space in the original post: My Affordable Patio Furniture and Outdoor Decorating Tips.

3. DECORATING OUTDOORS WITH A FRONT PORCH ROW HOME STYLE

Have a small row home or townhouse porch but want to entertain big? Here is a fun furniture arrangement for you! Row home porches are typically wide enough to accomodate rockers, but why not use the extra space for entertaining? Turn the rockers around and create a more intimate space for you and your guests to have conversations and relax. A bar cart is a great addition to outdoor entertaining!

4. DECORATING OUTDOORS UNDER A TREE

If you have a yard with an extending tree branch, then you too can accomplish this tablescape! Isn’t this outdoor space so dreamy? It really was a special treat to dine here under the stars!

5. DECORATING OUTDOORS WITH A SMALL BACKYARD

With a good design plan, small backyards can be cozy and gorgeous! Our small backyard in the city was an outdoor haven for us! The focus of the backyard was our dining space, and everything else is designed around that focal point. Click here for tips on how to entertain big in a small backyard!

6. DECORATING OUTDOORS WITH A SMALL PORCH

Small porch decorating can be gorgeous, too! By using a cohesive color palette, the space appears larger and pulled together. You can bring in lots of color choices with pillows and flowers. Check out this post on How to Transform a Porch with BEHR® Paint for inspiration!

If you can only decorate a door, make your door the cutest on the block! Click the post for all of the paint sources and colors. Blue is always a beautiful choice for your front door, and it looks so pretty with greenery and flowers.
