Winter is in full force so maybe it’s time to daydream a bit about getting away to someplace warm. Fantasizing about winter getaway gardens and pools is certainly one way to get through monster snow storms and freezing temperatures.
If you are lucky enough to get away to someplace toasty like a tropical island or desert, hats off to you. If you can’t, maybe I can entice you with some ideas for the coming summer months?
I know it seems a long way off, and cold comfort, but why not jump start thinking about someplace sunny and chic.
I’m starting to embrace the “Mod Palm Springs” look for outdoor spaces and think it evokes a classic, carefree weekend getaway vibe. Mind you, you need not live in the desert to get the look, merely the willingness to incorporate the playful design to your deck, patio or yard.
Simple yet stylish outdoor lighting will make the space timeless while bold and brightly colored outdoor seating will keep things lighthearted.
1. The bronze LED outdoor wall light by Kichler has a classic finish with a thoroughly modern aesthetic which evokes a bit of Mid Century punch.
2. I get a Rat Pack feel when I see this jaunty turquoise outdoor accent chair.
3. I love the simple look of the Ripley Outdoor Pendant Light for covered patios and outdoor dining rooms.
4. I’m a fan of a geometric pouf ottoman for extra seating around a pool or for tight spaces like a city balcony.
5. Candle light is always romantic and alluring, but bothersome wind can always mess that up. I think this lantern with a leather handle is great option for protecting pillar candles and will create a beautiful glow anywhere outside.
6. This white powdercoat round outdoor side table can go just about anywhere and look good. Its look is rooted in classic 1950s and 1960s design and begs to be near a fringed umbrella.
What is the style of your idea winter getaway?
