CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Spring is in bloom, and many people are using their outdoor spaces to relax and entertain. Here with more on how to take your outdoor space up a notch... is Interior Designer, Lauren Clement just in time for spring and summer. “For many people the outdoor living area is just an extension of their indoor living space” says Clement. She adds “the same thought, care and design that goes into to your indoor spaces should be transferred to the outdoor space.” Here are some areas where you can jazz up or upgrade your outdoor space:
#1 Comfortable Seating
Your outdoor space is now just an extension of your indoor space and it needs to be just as comfortable. Consider swivels, gliders, chaise lounges and rockers with sturdy cushions and pay close attention to the fabric making sure it's stain resistant and colorful.
#2 Outdoor Kitchen & Dining
The outdoor kitchen space, especially here in the South, can be used just about year round. Think about how your family dines and entertains. How big does your dining table need to be? Consider adding a bar or ice maker or even a pizza oven. The ideas are endless and don’t be afraid to splurge.
#3. Outdoor Lighting
Everyone loves and think that outdoor lighting is fantastic, in fact lighting is the jewelry of your space. Lighting accessories and statement pieces like chandeliers are awesome and really accentuate your outdoor space. Lighting adds the ambience when the sun goes down and really does finish every space.
