YOU TOO CAN BRING INDOOR ELEMENTS TO AN OUTDOOR SPACE WITH THESE SEVEN TIPS FROM ROB BOND. Mix things up a bit. Add a glass top to an outdoor pot for an instand pedestal or end table. No one thing should jump out at you. Just like the inside of your home, everything should be a focal point. Too much artwork in one place can be overwhelming. Less is more. Add one really great piece to each area of your garden. A large pot adds drama to a small garden. Bigger pieces make a garden look much grander than it actually is. Sturdy materials, such as cast iron, are ideal for an outdoor space. Try a mixture of pieces in lieu of a matching set of furniture. An eclectic look will always be more interesting. If there is one tree in the middle of a field, where would you gather to have your picnic? Create warmth. More intimate spaces are what people really want. |
