When choosing furniture for your outdoor space, “go for modular seating, so that as your outdoor needs change, you still have options—thanks to the quality outdoor furniture you invested in for the long term,” Williams says. “Think sectionals and ottomans that offer reconfigurations as your family grows or outdoor lifestyle evolves from one space to another. Invest in quality pieces that will let you enjoy your potions for years to come.”
For smaller pieces, she also recommends styling with a few outdoor poufs and footstools. “These are lightweight, affordable pieces that make a huge difference to the caliber of your overall space,” she says. “They’re great if someone wants to put their feet up, or if you need a place to set a tray of drinks down or a last-minute extra seat. These small accents give your space so much livability.”
