Essential Design Ingredients For Outdoor-Worthy Grill Spaces

Outdoor entertaining

Summer is just around the corner and with it comes outdoor grilling and entertaining. It’s the perfect time for festive soirees (a fancy way of saying “backyard barbecues” – because in North Carolina that’s a meal not an event.)

Getting the best out of your outdoor space worthy of your grilling talents can be daunting if you’re not an expert or familiar with timeless designer ingredients (rules) that enhance your entertainment goals.

The Design Experts at Furnitureland South are happy to share their recipe for creating an inviting outdoor setting, but the grilling is up to you.

Ingredient One: Seating options are a must

To make guests feel welcome, it’s important to provide a range of seating choices. Whether it’s for relaxing, dining, or chatting, having distinct areas for each creates a more welcoming atmosphere.

Look for furniture that can serve multiple purposes. Stools, for example, can be used as seating and can double as plant stands or drink tables.

Four Hands mixes in a pair of earthy woven ottomans for extra table space, but could easily be used for additional seating.

Ingredient Two: Set the mood with lighting

As the sun sets, let the gentle flicker of candlelight and the soft glow of string lights transform your outdoor space. With the presence of fireflies, you will have a magical setting for any backyard gathering.

The combination of these lights creates a cozy, romantic atmosphere, perfect for warm nights spent with loved ones.

Ingredient Three: Be prepared for messes

Be ready for spills and messes with durable furniture and fabrics.

Their high-quality pieces are designed to withstand the challenges of any outdoor party, with weather-resistant and nonfading fabrics that are easy to clean, ensuring your outdoor space remains inviting and ready to enjoy.

What are Performance Fabrics?

For outdoor gatherings, performance fabrics are a game-changer. They’re designed to withstand the challenges of outdoor use, such as spills, stains, and the elements. Furnitureland South offers a variety of performance fabric options, ensuring that your outdoor furniture not only looks amazing but also stays looking great, even after the messiest of gatherings.

Ingredient Four: Pillows make it pop
Add a pop of color and comfort to your outdoor space with pillows.

These versatile accessories come in various designs and hues, allowing you to personalize your outdoor oasis. Whether you prefer bold colors or soothing tones, pillows can help you create a cozy and stylish space effortlessly.

Ingredient Five: Add accessories

Enhance your outdoor space with accessories like fire pits, planters, and outdoor centerpieces.

Fire pits create a cozy gathering spot, perfect for roasting marshmallows or enjoying a cool evening. Planters add greenery and color, brightening up your space.

Outdoor centerpieces can be a focal point, adding style and personality to your patio or deck. Don’t forget about baskets to keep umbrellas, beach balls, or blankets handy for your guests.

Ingredient Six: Keep cool in the shade

A common challenge when hosting outdoor soirees is protecting guests from the heat of a hot sun. You can easily address this by adding umbrellas or pergolas to your setup.

Umbrellas offer convenient and versatile shade, while pergolas provide a stylish, permanent option.
