Hi Everyone,
I feel like we have had the same layout out here for a few years now but I did add a few new touches this year:) The key to making our outside space look and feel so warm and welcoming is to bring the inside outside. What I mean by this is incorporating some stylish pillows onto the outdoor furniture you have as well as adding in a throw blanket to really add an inviting feeling to where you are seated outdoors. Here are some photos of what our deck and patio currently look like:
Here is an inspirational design board for you to reference of what we have on our deck right now along with some links for you to reference.

I love adding in throw pillows and a fun blanket that guests and family members can use when we are using this space. I also like to have a live plant out here each year as well and this is a snake plant that has been thriving for four + years at this point. This plant is very low maintence and adds a nice touch of character as well. As far as how to go about furnishing your outdoor space some of my go to places are HomeGoods, Target, HomeSense, and Walmart. If you do not have a large budget to get all of these things I recommend as always to check out Facebook marketplace and other thrift stores local to your area as a lot of people tend to upgrade their furniture and are looking to get rid of exisiting pieces in the spring and early summer months.
Here are some pictures of our deck and patio area from over the years. It is so fun to look back and see the different ways in which we have used the space. My hope is that this inspires you to see how many possibilities you have can have in your home or space. You can start small and then build as you grow with the space overtime.
