It’s that time of the year we’ve all been waiting for: Outdoor entertaining season. Whether you love cocktails on the patio or plan on hosting al fresco dinner parties, the right furniture can beautifully upgrade your gatherings. To get you thinking of all the possibilities of your space, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite decor ideas along with our favorite outdoor pieces currently for sale at Viyet:
Pretty In Blue
Why we love it: The outdoor dining space of a Houston home designed by Celerie Kemble and Lindsey Herod feels vintage without seeming fussy. The light blue cushions contrast the white chairs, enhancing the shape of each back.
The Grand Outdoors
Why we love it: Bunny Williams is the master of elegant spaces that also have an unmistakable warmth. This covered outdoor dining area seems like a stately dining room, especially with the use of gorgeous blue-and-white antique pottery and dark wood console table. But, the wicker chairs keeps the look a little down to earth.
Laid-Back Luxe
Why we love it: This Caribbean outdoor space (featured in Coastal Living) is as refreshing as an ocean breeze. Cool blue linens crisply counter the warm honeyed finish of the chairs.
Modern Rustic
Why we love it: Midcentury-inspired chairs add a sleek note to the rustic texture of the table in this space styled by JL Designs. The centerpiece also calls back to the pattern of the chairs for a pulled-together look.
Refined Retreat
Why we love it: The backyard of designer Suzanne Kasler’s Atlanta home has two distinct zones — one for lounging in front of the fireplace and another for informal gatherings. The Janus et Cie sofas in the former area are cozy yet elegant.
