Indoor Style For Your Outdoor Living

Let’s chat about the great outdoors. Creating this “room” embraces a whole new perspective because you get to use the sky and tree canopies as your ceiling and the surrounding views for your walls. Arranging your outdoor furniture uses all the same principles as indoor design. Here are three things to consider as you refresh your outdoor space this season:

Comfortable & Resilient Outdoor Pillows

You want your guests to feel welcome and at ease and you can achieve this using performance fabric for your seating and pillows. What used to be known as indoor/outdoor fabric has certainly come a long way. Now available in soft textures, bright colors, and crisp patterns, these fabrics can withstand intense sunlight, extreme heat, rain, chlorine-soaked suits, and even a dip in the pool! Elaine Smith pillows offer the perfect blend of durability and design. 

These waterproof throw pillows are strong enough to resist anything the outdoors can throw at them, but stylish enough to be used indoors too. They come in a range of sizes from small rectangular lumbar pillows to large 22” by 22” squares. Each pillow comes complete with a weather-proof pillow insert for outdoor use, or the ability to upgrade to a faux down pillow insert. 

Outdoor Lighting

Trees and overhead structures are perfect for setting the mood with twinkle lights, or if you’re feeling bold: an outdoor chandelier. Candles are a must and we’ve got a citronella candle with a wicker container that’s ready for the season.

Potted Plants & Water Features

Don’t forget to add potted flowers, plants, and fragrant herbs. These containers can be moved to create different looks and provide lovely fragrances. Our new arrivals from Berg Pottery and Campo de Fiori are ready for planting! Or, if you want the space to feel extra, consider adding a fountain or some other water feature to calm, relaxing sounds. Campania offers an extensive range of products in a variety of materials and styles from classic to contemporary.
