Warmer weather means more opportunities to be outside. It also means being able to enjoy the outdoor living space of your new Brookfield Residential SoCal home.

Whether you have a covered patio or a spacious backyard, think of your outdoor area as an extension of your home. Begin by choosing relaxed seating and colors that follow the same palette as your interior décor. Set up sofas, armchairs and tables to create a flow and welcome guests. Features such as a chandelier or string lighting will add to the ambiance while ceiling fans help keep the space cool on those extra warm days.

Bringing indoor elements out will make the area more inviting and usable during the upcoming months. Use cushions and throw pillows to inject comfort, style and bit of detail to your furnishings and consider accessorizing with statement centerpieces or hanging art for a personal touch. Tie it all together with a rug and place settings specifically for outdoor dining and you’re ready to entertain!

Now that you’ve designed your gorgeous outdoor living space, you can finally start planning that backyard BBQ you’ve been dreaming of all winter long or simply relax and enjoy a stylish connection with nature without ever leaving home.
