How to Create a Gorgeous Living Space…Outdoors!

Introducing Outdoor Furnishings to Stoney Creek Furniture.

After what feels like an endless winter, it’s exciting to start planning for summer living in the backyard. My head is swimming with ideas for garden plants, not to mention dining and entertaining on the patio! The trend this season is to make the patio an extension of your home with all the style and comfort of a living room.

Here’s how to get started on your outdoor sanctuary.

Begin with Quality Outdoor Furniture. These days we’re choosing outdoor furniture that not only looks stunning, but is durable and long lasting. Comfort is also a top priority with pieces featuring overstuffed cushions and natural materials like wicker. You’ll also see much more than basic sofas and chairs, including modular sectionals, cocktail tables, dining sets and ottomans. As with interiors, classic transitional pieces are on trend with a nod to mid century modern with clean lines and timeless beauty. Colour wise, grey is the most popular by far, often with a green hue.

Our collection is handcrafted with impeccable style and uncompromising quality. The many outstanding features include:

  • Handcrafted weaving, done one strand at a time using high density polyurethane.
  • Strong, rust proof, long standing aluminum frames.
  • Weather proof and water resistant fabrics.
  • Upholstery that’s easily washed with mild soap and water.
  • Sold fully assembled.

With your furnishings in place, what are some of the key trends in the garden this season?

Purple. Pantone’s colour of the year, Ultra Violet, is making its way to the garden, in beautiful plants and flowers (like campanula, iris, clematis, lavender and many more) and as an accent colour for cushions, throws and table top accessories.

Fireplaces. One of the hottest trends this season is a fireplace in the garden. Ask the experts at Stoney Creek Furniture about attractive, rust resistant propane fireplaces by Napoleon.

Vegetables. As we embrace a more plant-based diet, we’re growing more veggies in our gardens. How about trying kale and spinach this season? Did you know they can even be grown in planters?

Meditation Space. Dedicate a special corner of your outdoor living area to meditation. It can be as simple as a bench surrounded by plants and including a small table for candles and accessories. Facing the sunrise or sunset will make it particularly inspirational.

Planters. Have fun and be environmentally conscious with planters made from repurposed items. I’ve seen galvanized buckets, dresser drawers, chairs and even rubber boots as planters!

Accessories. As you would indoors, complete your outdoor living room with accessories like candles, centerpieces, lanterns and plants. Add string lights for night-time sparkle.

 I can’t wait for summer! Our new Stoney Creek Furniture Outdoor collection is exclusive to our store in the GTA. Do come in and experience it today!
