Tips for Refreshing Your Patio!

Memorial Day is days away and that probably means you’re looking for ways to spruce up your patio for the summer season! After all, we all want to love our outdoor space when spending as much time outside as possible! Our friend and fellow Stamford mom, Mariane with Lulu Quadri is sharing tips for an easy patio refresh… best of all they can be done by Monday!

A new outdoor rug is a great way to add comfort and style to any space… even outdoors!  

Plants 

Greenery, whether real or faux, will brighten up your outdoor space and create a calm oasis. Mariane uses them in planters, and for decor on tables. 

Candles 

Preferably citronella as with warmer temps comes bugs. Citronella candles add a nice touch and just enough scent to wade away the creepy crawlers. 

Patio Chairs

With several options available in stores, comfortable chairs are (for obvious reasons) key to creating the perfect vibe.  For small spaces, Mariane recommends wicker or rattan stackable chairs. 

Straw table tray

Perfect for holding small items and adding a touch of decor at the same time

Throw pillows

You can never have too many throw pillows and these are a great way to add style and comfort to your outdoor space. They are a great way to add color as well!
