Requirements to furnishing your outdoor space like a pro:

• Ground the space with an outdoor rug to achieve an elevated “outdoor living space” worthy of an instagramable moment

• Umbrella, the only anti-aging decor you can buy

• Bring in the greenery and don’t be afraid to use faux. Yes, there are faux trees and other botanicals that are outdoor friendly and can withstand direct sun and the elements. This is a great way to make your space feel like an oasis allowing you to integrate tropical foliage otherwise unsuitable for your climate.
