January 25, 2013 (San Diego)--Whether your patio space is big or small, wide or narrow, don’t allow limited outdoor space to cramp your style! Gerald Shvartsman, founder and CEO of Source Outdoor, has a couple tips to make the most out of your outdoor patio.
Mix-and-Match
“We’ve noticed many people still want sectionals with deep seating, however they are in need of a smaller-scaled version of those large sectionals they are falling in love with,” said Shvartsman. He recommends looking for collections that offer a wide range of pieces and sizes to customize the space, big or small, while still getting that sectional look with deep seating. The Lucaya Collection from Source Outdoor is one example that encourages mixing and matching to find the right fit for your space. Its pieces allow the homeowner to make the sectional as long they’d like, or choose side chairs or a chaise lounge instead to best fit their space.
Multi-Purpose Pieces
A smaller space shouldn’t deter anyone from entertaining. Furniture options like the Circa Ice Coffee Table from Source Outdoor eliminate the need for a separate ice chest or cooler. Not to mention, guests don’t have to get out of their seat to enjoy a cold drink.
Go Stackable
“Source Outdoor has noticed an increased consumer interest toward stackable, outdoor furniture in response to weather and space constraints. A huge benefit or reason why stackable furniture is trending more and more is because consumers can save space when not using the pieces, and have greater mobility to move their furniture when needed due to its lightweight nature,” said Shvartsman.
Built-In Storage
Another tip to make the most out of your outdoor space is to select pieces that include storage options built into the design. For example, the St. Tropez Chaise Lounge includes storage under the seat with space to place cushions or other outdoor accessories to help keep the patio clutter-free.
