After spending the past several days in beautiful Los Angeles, I immediately contracted the “I need a backyard” blues. I can’t wait to have an outdoor space! Every decor store this past month has held outdoor furniture sales. I couldn’t help but dream about decorating my future backyard. I mean look at this Portofino Pavillion from Z Gallerie! I would love to host a backyard extravaganza and make this a focal point. It comes in grey and white too!
My dream backyard would have an eclectic yet feminine style. I believe the outdoors should be bright and colorful! I love so many of the collections out this season especially from West Elm, Z Gallerie and Pier 1 Imports. What’s dangerous is that all these stores are less than 15 minutes from my home!
The Tillary collection at West Elm is my favorite outdoor sofa. The modular design makes it possible to shift and flip the backrests creating different arrangements and lots of comfort! A grey L-sectional would serve as the foundation for my backyard layout.
1. Swingasan Chair from Pier 1 Imports, $299 // 2. Trompe L’Oeil Birdhouse from Anthropologie, $68 // 3. Blue Cadiz Stacking Chairs from Worldmarket, $100 // 4. Sunkist Reversible Rug from Lulu & Georgia, $37 – $110 // 5. Ixtapa Yellow/Aqua Lounge Chair from CB2, $229 // 6. Casablanca Lanterns from Z Gallerie, $8 – $50 // 7. Laurel Pillow from Crate & Barrel, $40.
Above is my outdoor decor wish list. I have always wanted an aqua and green color scheme for a balcony or patio. My garden would be filled with tons of pink flowers for contrast! I’ve always loved a little Moroccan influence hence the rug and lanterns. It’s also why I love the idea of a tent or canopy.
