The highs and lows of springtime in Chicago coupled with the ups and downs of our stay-at-home order is making us long for an outdoor escape from reality, do you agree?

Gazing outside, you might be asking, “How can I create my own happy oasis out there?” Here are a few ideas…

Balconies, patios and backyards can really become another room to enjoy…treat your outdoor space as an extension of your indoors. We are seeing many interior trends being incorporated right outside. These days it’s not uncommon to have outdoor upholstered sofas, cozy seating arrangements, outdoor televisions and even kitchens and bars. Today it’s all about relaxing and entertaining outside and spending quality time with close friends and family.

Why not make your space uniquely yours? Gone are the days of purchasing a simple matching patio set. Just like interior spaces, the best designed patios use a mix and match approach. Why not try some basics coupled with one or two distinctive pieces, for example a piece with open weaving or rope detail?
