Bobby’s Tips For Outdoor Entertaining
Follow these easy tips to ensure your outdoor space is stylish -and all set for summer.
1. REMEMBER THE RULE OF 3
When adding pillows to your outdoor sofa, stick to groupings of 3. Pair 2 square pillows with a smaller lumbar pillow, mixing small and large scale patterns in 2 or 3 colors, for the ideal grouping.
2. STICK TO YOUR COLOR PALETTE
For a more visually pleasing look, keep all your decor in the same color palette. I choose black, white, terracotta, and tan, for my dining and seating area, creating a cohesive backyard that looks connected and perfectly pulled together.
3. OPT FOR OUTDOOR-FRIENDLY PLATES
Melamine plates are the perfect choice for al fresco summer meals. They’re dishwasher safe, scratch-resistant, and virtually unbreakable. Plus, they’re a more eco-friendly friendly choice than single-use, disposable options.
