How to Design your Outdoor Space
If someone said the words “interior design”, chances are that “outdoor patio” would not be the first thought to come to mind. As an often forgotten space for design, outdoor patios and spaces are the core of so many household memories. From silently sipping your morning coffee, to grilling for an afternoon tailgate and hosting elevated cocktail parties at night, your outdoor patio is such an important space for friends and family to gather on. Why not have a beautiful, yet versatile space that envelopes both tranquility and elegance?
Choosing Outdoor Furniture (seating area configurations, seating/dining tables, etc.):
Picking out furniture doesn’t have to be scary or compromising! When deciding the configuration of your outdoor seating and lounging areas, we recommend making a list of how you plan on using your space. Be sure to think about dining, lounging, and conversational needs. Then, determine the amount of square footage you are able to designate to your seating areas!
Don’t forget! The Cossart Design team offers Design Consultations for any space of your home. Leave the measuring and space configuration to us! Schedule your Consultation today.

Outdoor Fabrics & Textures (teak, iron, sunbrella, pattern vs. solid pillows):
Feeling bold? We’ve got you covered with a wide range of hundreds of patterned fabrics for any style upholstery piece. Want to stick to a more neutral palette? No problem! From clean, simple light and earthy toned fabrics, to striking, vivid patterns, we can help source the perfect style for you and your space. When choosing fabrics for the outdoors, we recommend performance, crypton, or sunbrella textiles - the more durable, the better! Finish materials suitable for outdoors are teak, iron, and outdoor-treated wood.
Outdoor Accessories (garden stools/topiaries/lamps/fans/etc.):
Accessories can make or break an outfit… or space! Add some spice to your outdoor area with fun accent tables, lamps, topiaries, outdoor throw blankets and accent pillows, garden stools, and more! You can easily elevate the design of your outdoor space with new fans and outdoor lighting sources, too.
