Add a Little Something Extra

Creating an outdoor living space that is right for your home and who is living in it has many components and decisions to be made. One thing many of us forget to keep in mind is style; making sure the colors pop, the furniture is well in the space, and that you’re creating a place where people think about after leaving. Rick’s Sheds offers everything needed that goes into a quality and stylish outdoor oasis.

Many of us think that any space with furniture needs to be neutral and simple, but at Rick’s Sheds we promote the opposite to make your outdoor area one of a kind. We take the idea of wanting a clean and easily accessible space and add color, material, and flare. You don’t have to be an exterior designer to accomplish a unique outdoor look. All you need to do is take the vision of what you think you need and spice it up with what Rick’s Sheds has to offer.

A simple way to add a little something to your outdoor living space is with an umbrella. It is naturally a large center piece, so choosing a colored umbrella is exactly what you need to start adding flare to the atmosphere. How do you choose a color to accent your space? Think about the landscaping around your home and what colors appear when it is blooming season. Pick a color that compliments or matches these colors to bring everything together.

Now you have a beautiful and colored center piece to feed off of for the rest of your outdoor living area. What’s next? You can choose to go big by adding colored furniture cushions that match or compliment your new umbrella. If you want to stick with neutral furniture cushions, which is also fine, choose from Rick’s Sheds’ collection of Elaine Smith throw pillows for your outdoor furniture. You can add in another complementing color to your umbrella or a pattern to jazz it up even more.

Adding something extra to your outdoor furniture is what attracts others to it and not just because they need to take a seat. However, adding something extra doesn’t mean that every square inch after you step out of your back door needs to be accented with something. Adding a LITTLE something will do the trick and make the space special.

Still at a loss with how you should make your outdoor space stand out? Follow these guidelines:

  • Pick an accent color that goes well with what blooms in your landscaping.
  • Choose a center piece of the space then work outward from there.
  • Accessories, like throw pillows, should be the same color or complimentary to the accent color. Accessories can and are encouraged to be patterned!
  • If you think you over spiced the space, you probably did. Add just enough to notice.

Rick’s Sheds has everything you need to not only furnish your space but to also make it stylish and memorable. After planning the logistics of the area, don’t skip the styling part. Just like any other room in your home, it needs attention in order to create an appealing space that people want to be in. Don’t be afraid to add a little something extra.
