Covered Pergola
Adding a pergola to your outdoor seating area can really help make the area feel more like a room, and not a deck or patio. Pergolas are a great design feature to give your outdoor seating area the personality it deserves. Lighting can easily be hung, and also adding grasses, fabric, etc. adds a great shade source for those hot summer days.
Funky Chairs + Fire Pit

Swing Chairs
Who doesn’t love a swing! Practical seating with a fun and funky twist added with these great swing chairs. They’re the perfect addition to any of your outdoor seating areas and sure to be a hit with the whole family.
Non-Traditional Furniture
When choosing furniture for your outdoor seating area it can be a bit overwhelming because of all the similar design styles out there. Mix it up with some furniture that isn’t commonly seen. I mean come on, outdoor bean bags?! So much fun for people of all ages! Who knew a bean bag could look so sophisticated.
Bringing the Indoors Out
To create a seamless flow from interior to exterior, continue the same design style into your outdoor space. Having the inside and outside of the home reflect the same design style you and your guests won’t even realize when your leaving one space and walking into the other. Adding unexpected items such as table lamps help make this space feel more like a living room, not an outdoor area. Remember to check for indoor/outdoor ratings when buying light fixtures!
We hope these beautiful outdoor seating areas have inspired you to give your outdoor space the love and attention it deserves!
