Boho Chic, Natural & Retro Accents Among Hottest Exterior Looks for Summer
Spurred by the pandemic, outdoor living continues to be all the rage across Canada. Whether you’re looking for a complete makeover or a simple backyard refresh, this year’s outdoor living trends are sure to bring a breath of fresh air to your home’s exterior, no matter what the size of your property or budget.
Think wood-metal combinations, nature-kissed brass, earth-shade accents, and wicker pieces adorned with textured, artistic fabrics. Thammavong divides this season’s outoor living trends into three themes. Tranquil Moments, Primitive Ties and Urban Roots.
1. Tranquil Moments
This theme combines the elegance of boho chic, seaside architecture and Japandi style with uber-lush greenery to create a dreamlike getaway, perfect for contemplation. Wicker furniture, decorative stitching and artistic plant stands round out this refined yet casual look.
2. Primitive Ties
Featuring raw materials, exotic craftsmanship and ethnic accents, Primitive Ties celebrates eclecticism, cultural diversity and art, while delivering an enveloping, cozy atmosphere that radiates nature’s beauty. Looks such as metal and wood accessories, warm earth shades embedded in natural materials, and dark floral motifs round out this theme.
TABLE | $799.00
3. Urban Roots
Combining clean-lined metallic and wood materials, elevated with brilliantly-coloured accessories, this theme is an ode to modern and industrial Scandinavian styles, with strong retro, biophilic influences. It is reminiscent of a city’s vibrancy, while integrating functionality, minimalism and ergonomics.
SET OF 2 | $109.00
This summer’s outdoor looks are all about feeling calm, soothed and uplifted – in style, we’ve made it easy for Canadians to create a relaxing outdoor oasis by selecting a range of striking, budget-friendly pieces that will leave neighbours feeling grassgreen with envy.
