With neighborhood barbeques, family gatherings
and graduations right around the corner, dress
your outdoor haven with hues that complement your
home’s exterior color palette. Easy and quick
ideas to add style and color include:
 |
1. Paint wooden furniture
with vibrant hues such as
bright yellow, sky
blue or candy
apple red. |
 |
2. Give garden and deck
planters a facelift by painting
them a bold
or contrasting color. |
 |
3. When contemplating
a deck color scheme, try the
unexpected. The
simple incorporation
of two-tone
railings and multiple colored
deck benches
can revitalize that exterior
living space. |
 |
4. For added inspiration, “borrow” colors
that appear
in nature or take a cue
from patio furniture and
colorful umbrellas. |
Today’s outdoor spaces are often viewed
as an extension of the homes interior and are
designed to be inviting, relaxing and personal.
By incorporating a dash of color, these exterior
rooms will be a favorite gathering spot, long
after sundown.
