The subjectivity of style allows us to express ourselves through succinct and meaningful approaches and when the subject is the home, modern modifications can collectively transform a space. A beautifully updated outdoor living arrangement can inject a stagnant space with updates that modernize it into a functional and livable place to spend time. A contemporary outdoor lounge space and an elegantly modern dining area can work to breath new life into an exterior.
In this post we explore how to curate stylish, modern outdoor furniture, whether you’re starting from the beginning or working with an existing space.

A marriage between traditional materials and modern design in a single color palette results in an aesthetically rewarding vision. A holistic attitude through monochromatic ideations finds balance and a restorative quality that looks effortlessly chic. The Denis Outdoor Reclaimed Teak Dining Table (left) makes a bold statement with its stained black wood and amply designed frame. Pairing the dining table with modern outdoor dining chairs like the Spider Outdoor Dining Stacking Chair crafts a refined and artful interpretation of what feels current. Trends towards bringing in natural elements along with subdued modern characteristics are feeling right for the moment. Playing to the need to connect with nature while embracing minimalistic contemporary elements.
Focus on using the interiors as an inspiration for the exterior as you can create a sense of continuity to keep the spaces connected and creating an easy flow between the rooms. Having a living room open out onto a deck or backyard could make an ideal place to arrange your outdoor dining space. This provides an easy path to access the kitchen and allows for more time with guests.
