SPECIAL SECTION: HOME DESIGN TRENDS: INSPIRED UPGRADES
INDOOR-OUTDOOR
CONNECTIVITY
Decked Out
Your living space doesn’t have to be contained within the four
corners of your home. Discover the flow of open-concept living that
expands from beyond the kitchen and den and into the great outdoors.
Creating an all-in-one space—where there is an indoor-outdoor
connectivity—is more on trend than ever. From a design perspective,
you can start at the door with a grand entrance. If you don’t already
have a suitable entryway, consider building French-style doors that
lead onto your deck. You want the outdoor space in your home to
transform into another living room with the addition of a few key
pieces and accessories.
Start from the floor up and begin sectioning off areas to create more
interest and to give the illusion of more space. The easiest way to
accomplish this is with area rugs. A natural jute rug is one of the most
outdoor-friendly styles you can use. From here, you can position a
decorative table and accessorize by placing lanterns and potted plants
along its center. Grouping chairs and ottomans together to build cozy
nesting spots is an easy way to add comfort to the outdoors. One of the
most popular outdoor furniture materials is wicker, especially paired
with chic cushions. Others include wood, resin, sling and metal. Each
one is a great option in terms of durability and affordability. Beyond
