Spring planning: Patterns, patterns, everywhere


Can you tell we are excited to get ready for spring? During the cold winters, it’s fun to look forward to heating up the patio with a new look! And since March 20th is the official first day of spring you can never plan too far ahead! 

World of color

Start with thinking color scheme and what you will use your outdoor area for.  Do you need new cushions, a new piece to freshen up, new flowers? Will you entertain family gatherings, kids’ parties, and neighbor get togethers? 

All in the family

Once you have your color inspiration, think about also using a similar pattern or color family as an easy way to tie in separate spaces for a cohesive look.
  
Mix it up

On trend for this year are bright and bold Spanish style patterns, a great opportunity to use an interesting pattern outdoors.
Translated into fabric, these patterns can be tailored to your taste, if loud and wild is not your style, try sea greens and blues paired with cream for a more neutral and relaxing tone.
