Neutral Outdoor Patio Decor

Oh man I’m so ready for spring! We spent a lot of time outdoors this weekend and it felt os good. It wasn’t the warmest but it wasn’t raining and that is a huge win over here. I decided it was time to get our back patio ready for spring and entertaining! I was in need of a good refresh over here so I did a little shopping this weekend and wanted to show you my neutral outdoor patio decor.

If you follow on Instagram, you may have caught my videos decorating this space. I originally pulled a bunch of pillows from my house and then realized a lot were worn out and I actually haven’t purchased a good selection of throw pillows in quite awhile. So a shopping trip was in store!

Neutral Outdoor Patio Decor

My goal was to give this space very cozy organic look for spring and summer. I wanted to include some fresh new pillows in neutral tones that add texture. I took a trip to Target and totally lucked out and found exactly what I was looking for.

I wanted to add another accent rug for a layered look and found this round black outdoor rug for just $80. You can find links to everything else below!

The rest of the accessories I had around the house. I used a few neutral ceramic vases with greenery as a centerpiece on top a vintage cutting board to add a wood element and make the centerpiece pop on black coffee table.

I’m liking the simple look this year, full of chic textures and cozy vibes.

This is just step one in getting this patio ready for spring! I’m planning on giving the deck a fresh coat of paint for the summer. After five years the stain is wearing off and it’s in need of a good coat of stain or paint. I’m leaning towards paint.

Stay tuned for more spring decor coming up this week!

    I just love this space! Black, white and neutrals have been my jam for years. I would like to know the source for the round side table with the natural top if possible. Thank you!

    My patio’s dark brown coffee table has stains on top of it (unknown source) and it drives me crazy! We are not ready to paint the patio furniture (the rest look brand new) so when I saw your vintage cutting board on top of your table, I know that was the solution!

Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been here and it’s even more magical than I remember! There is something truly special about this city. The architecture, the people, the most amazing pastries, and gorgeous gardens. Showing my family this city was a gift. I experience it in a different way each time and it just keeps getting better.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character. (Swipe for the before) It now feels like my own little escape to the French countryside every time I do laundry, and I’m not mad about it.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!
