Modern Coastal Outdoor Decor

Last week, I shared our summer home tour but I still have one space left to show! This time last year we updated our outdoor living space with all new furniture, so this year it was time to try something new and add a few pops of color. I know, color? Not a word you hear me say too often but I added just a touch to makes this space feel like summer with some Modern Coastal Outdoor Decor.

Modern Coastal Outdoor Decor

Welcome to our tropical oasis! Last year everything was so fresh and clean and all brand new that I kept it simple. But this year I wanted to give it more of a summer feel. I picked up this set of tropical pillow covers on Amazon for a ridiculous price and I was so impressed with them. It was an easy way to give this space a new look and big pop!

We love spending time in this space during the warmer months. It’s always the place that people flock to during gatherings and it’s my favorite spot to sit after the kids go to bed.

Summer Outdoor Entertaining

Summer entertaining with outdoor living space!

I love to entertain, especially during the summer. Just last weekend we had people over and majority of the time everyone sat right out here. So it’s always one of my first places to get cleaned up for summer time!

Outdoor Living Space with Privacy Screen.

This year I tried something a little different out here and hung artwork on the privacy screen. I thought it needed little something extra. It’s different, a little modern and asymmetrical and I kinda like it. It just brings a little warmth to the space. What do you think?

And when the kids are asking for a snack for the millionth time this summer, I hope to be sitting right here enjoying a book and nice weather ;)

Now I encourage you to scroll down and view so many gorgeous outdoor living spaces! They are all absolutely stunning, I am so impressed!

I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
