In honor of Memorial Day Weekend and the official start of summer, let’s celebrate with some red, white, and blue selections for your porch, balcony, or patio!

The 3 summer BBQ holidays are the ones we refer to as the “hot dog” holidays. at our house because these are the 3 times a year that my Mom wants her perfect grilled hot dog - and it has to be the RIGHT hot dog with the RIGHT toppings LOL. Sadly, we will probably miss the first of these with our extended family because it isn’t totally safe to gather yet.

Still, summer at home can be an opportunity to spruce up your outdoor living space. With more limited travel, make your home a destination spot you can truly enjoy. We’ve curated some outdoor furnishings and accessories in spicy red, calming whites and neutrals, or classic blues to inspire your outdoor living at home. Whether you have a pocket sized apartment balcony, or an expansive waterside patio, make it a spot to relax for the season ahead!

Red

Red is a happy, energetic color and can add some pizzazz and impact to a small outdoor space or a dash of excitement to a larger space. Add a touch of this spicy color with metal lanterns or outdoor pillows, dine in chic style with a charming red bistro set, or ground your outdoor room with a red outdoor rug.

White

White and neutral patio decor can be a sophisticated and calm oasis from which to enjoy a beautiful seaside (or poolside) view or a riot of colorful garden flowers. Sink into the highest quality comfort with these Seasonal Living seating pieces, and extend the use of your outdoor space with lighting designed for use outside! (Links below image)

Blue

Blue is always a classic. The color of sky and water adds an undeniable fresh feel to outdoor spaces. Lounge in chairs with a view, or pull them around a firepit for an evening of relaxing under the stars. This hammered copper firepit offers a cover to turn it into a chic coffee table when not in use. A garden stool makes a handy side table to set down your drink or book, and can double as extra seating when needed. (For more info, click on links below image)
