Finally, warm spring weather is here! It’s the perfect time to add a couple of accessories to an outdoor space for the long days of outside play and firefly catching nights.
Here are a few ways to make your outdoor space a favorite place:
Select an indoor/outdoor rug.
These types of rugs are made to weather the storm, literally. Indoor/outdoor rugs are easy to clean and are available in an array of great colors and patterns. My personal pick would be the Neapolitan Indoor/Outdoor PET rug by Dash and Albert. The colors are so fun and cheery. Plus, it’s easy to hose off and clean. These types of rugs also make a great indoor rug for high traffic areas.

A throw pillow can instantly cozy up a chair, even a plastic one. There are indoor/outdoor pillows and fade resistant pillows. I love the Lexington pattern in Fresh American pillows. They feel good, are easy to clean and can be monogrammed.

There are all kinds of lights that can make an outdoor space whimsical. Fairy lights tucked in lanterns, string lights on porches, flameless outdoor candles, citronella candles and outdoor fireplaces can make a space feel inviting.
{Add a few potted plants to your outdoor area. Containers can be anything you can imagine. Just make sure you add drain holes to whatever you use. Image via Pinterest.} Place a few potted plants.
Plant a few containers with pretty flowers or herbs. Galvanized containers are a fun option and those are easy to pick up in your local hardware store.
