Lounging Area

Accents and Plants

Outdoor accents, like lanterns, lights, garden stools, etc., helps create a cozier outdoor vibe. Adding textures, with throw blankets and toss pillows, makes such an inviting space that you may never want to go back inside. 

Plants add more life and color to your outdoor space. They help fill in boring or unattractive areas, like the corner of a balcony or a balcony railing.
