As we hope for the coming summer months we look to our outside deck or patio area and begin to plan, as we do indoors! How do we want it look, feel and inspire.

In Canada, we know this time is short, however we all yearn to enjoy time spent with family and friends in our outdoor space. Area rugs even outdoors help to define a space.
A smaller area even welcomes a rug form corner to corner or wall to wall to help in making use of the entire area. In the early Spring, Summertime and even into Fall sometimes we encounter chilly nights and here an area rug can help our stone patios and wooden decks feel warm under our feet.

As we use area rugs indoors, use of them outdoors also helps to add bold colours, pattern and texture. We are able to pull colours from our outdoor upholstery and even our patio pots or gardens and anchor our seating or dining area with beautiful pops of colour and pattern.
Keeping the colour palette similar to your indoor space allows a seamless transition form indoors to outdoors and becomes an intentional extension of our home as we create another inviting space.
Whether it be a tiny balcony or beautiful back yard oasis, an area rug can define your gathering zones, patterns can make a space seem larger and you have a space that becomes a reflection of your personality.
