How to Decorate Your Outdoor Living Space for 6 Different Styles

June 16, 2019 Leave a Comment

Now that the warmer weather is finally here, I can’t stop obsessing over summer patio decor. There are so many styles, colours, patterns and textures to play with to create your own unique outdoor living space. Regardless of the size and space of your patio, having a spot to enjoy the weather outdoors is something to truly appreciate. So why not spruce it up and make it something you love?

I’ve put together six different styled looks to hopefully give you some inspiration to decorate your outdoor space. Love something from each? Mix it up! That’s what’s so great about decorating – it’s all about what you like and what reflects your personal style. So if that means mixing and matching from different styles, then go for it! No particular style is set in stone, and nowadays styles are so interchangeable and blended that you can’t really go wrong!

Look One: Boho

A bohemian style feels warm, relaxing, global and a bit unusual. This mix-matched style gives off very carefree and inviting vibes.

Look Two: Eclectic

A mix of textures, patterns, colours and styles creates an eclectic look. Don’t be afraid to mix and match!

Look Three: Farmhouse

A farmhouse style is a bit more rustic and worn. It’s full of charm and character and the colours are typically more neutral. The farmhouse style is totally on trend and is more popular than ever.

Look Four: Industrial

Straight, clean and crisp lines mixed with wood and metal materials result in a “warehouse look”. More masculine in style, the industrial look features neutral tones and utilitarian objects and decor.

Look Five: Nautical

A nautical style is for the beach lovers. Light and airy, a nautical style should create a relaxing and fresh feeling. This style can be established by incorporating lines, navy blues and natural materials together. When choosing colours and furniture, think of shades and styles that resemble the beach side, coastal living.

Look Six: Tropical

A tropical themed space is fun and exciting! Play on bright colours and various textures to create a space that mimics a relaxing, tropical destination. Don’t be afraid to mix up colours and patterns to make a really unique space!

Which style to you love the most? Personally, I love something from each. I’d love to know how you place to decorate your outdoor living space! Comment down below!

Happy Monday! A little late on the Valentine's pos Happy Monday! A little late on the Valentine's post... but let's be real, we should be celebrating those we love every day! And personally, I think the day after Valentine's Day is even better cause all that leftover chocolate is on sale. πŸ˜‹
Progress pic! πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ You must all think I just l Progress pic! πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ You must all think I just love to paint cause I feel like that's all I've been doing since the start of the year πŸ˜‚. Well this past weekend has been spent doing just that. At the back of our basement we have a section that we've been using as our office. As you can see from the before photo it was in major need of an update! I have some big plans in mind to fixup this space but for now I decided to see what a little paint could do. I don't love the wood paneling and absolutely hated the green wall colour so I used the leftover paint we had from the rest of our basement to freshen this space up. What do you all think?!
Oh heyyyy πŸ‘‹Just hanging out in MY NEW BASEMENT! Oh heyyyy πŸ‘‹Just hanging out in MY NEW BASEMENT! If you've been following me for a while then you know that the past three months have been dedicated to transforming this space. It all started when I wanted to rip down the old ugly wallpaper and now here we are... With a completely new room! 
.
.
I think we were a little in over our heads when we started tackling this project...but slowly we worked away on it (with a little extra help) one step at a time. I think I can officially say this is my favourite space in our house!
.
.
It's definitely not without its flaws and we learned alot along the way... But man does it ever look good! πŸ‘ 
.
.
There's still more that needs to be done of course... We need to paint the trim and baseboards, replace the windows, paint the fireplace (my next project πŸ˜†) and get new furniture... But it has come such a long way!!
.
.
If you have been following this project from the start then you know all the ups and downs we had along the way. Not going to lie... A few tears were shed... πŸ˜… Luckily we are now at a place where we can finally enjoy and appreciate all the hard work. Next part is the fun part... Styling and decorating!

Our basement walls finally have some colour!!! And Our basement walls finally have some colour!!! And that colour is Ghost Writer by Dulux to be exact 😁. Not sure how it got that name, but I'm really loving it. I was a little worried about selecting a colour for such a large area in our home considering I wasn't able to get a test can... But luckily it's worked out! It's a mid-tone greige/taupey colour and I think it's really going to look great once our basement is all done... 

Speaking of which...

We are almost done with our basement reno and I couldn't be more excited! (Except for the fact that we still have to purchase some new furniture which is a little tricky right now 😬).

This project has been almost 3 months in the making  and we are finally getting closer the finish line. Just a little bit more to go and we will be all done! (That is until we start tackling our next project πŸ˜†).
I call this my "I haven't left the house in a week I call this my "I haven't left the house in a week because I've been busy renovating my basement" look πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. I think I can pull off being covered in paint (and dry wall dust)  pretty well by now πŸ™ƒ. Although this wall behind me doesn't look like much, it has actually come such a long way. It all started when I wanted to just rip off the old wallpaper one weekend. Now here we are two months later and still working away. Even though our basement is far from being complete, lots has been done! 
βœ”οΈ wallpaper removed 
βœ”οΈ textured ceiling removed
βœ”οΈ the ugly spotlights removed and replaced with potlights (Merry Christmas to me)
βœ”οΈ ceiling skimcoated
βœ”οΈ ceiling and walls primed (still working away on some touch ups)

Unfortunately we did not get as far as we thought this week due to a few hiccups along the way. But looking back it's amazing to see how much progress has been made! The next steps will be to paint the ceilings and walls and the the fun part - getting new furniture and redecorating! 

Also raise of hands if you've been with me since day one of this project! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈβœ‹. If you have, then you probably feel my pain πŸ˜‚. And if you haven't, make sure to check out my highlight reel!
