Creating an Outdoor Oasis with Kohl’s

30 Comments

tropical outdoor space

Here in Hawaii we spend a lot of time outdoors year round. Whenever the weather is nice, I like to spend time on my front porch. Kohl’s provided me with a $100 gift card to help turn my outdoor space into a relaxing oasis for myself and my family to enjoy.

Until now, I have had a pretty boring outdoor space. I’ve always wanted to update the look to make it more welcoming and stylish, yet I never had the time to shop for the right pieces.

sonoma outdoors bistro table

The first item I chose is the Sonoma Outdoors Folding Bistro Table. I love that it adds a nice pop of color to brighten up my front porch. It’s also the perfect spot for snacks and cold drinks. Although I had some seating, a table was one of the main pieces missing in my outdoor space. Later, I might consider a few more additions to my exterior living by exploring outdoor furniture pieces such as small dining that can be used in case we decide to organize a small family event or gathering. It would be nice to organize such an area. It could also be a zone to unwind and relax.

It would include a lot of open space and a cozy feel, but I would also have to consider doing something for heavy rain or intense sunlight. To that end, adding motorised blinds Sydney (or other places you may be located in), manual ones, or even awnings would make a fine addition to the area. This could basically simulate an alfresco feel. Paired with plants to create a vibe, I could bring in a tropical look.

I’ve always been attracted to the tropical look, so along with the table, I chose two Sonoma Outdoors Tropical Hibiscus decorative pillows. Pillows make a great addition to any space. I love decorating with pillows because you can always change them up when you’re ready for a new look. You could even alternate with customized pillows with the print of your choice to match. A printed pet pillow (more at https://custompetpillows.co/) could also go well with the furniture as it could make a quirky addition to the mix. Overall, these indoor/outdoor pillows are awesome because not only are they water resistant, but most importantly they are fade resistant. The sun hits the area every afternoon, and everything there tends to fade. I’m hoping the bold bright colors of the pillows will last a while.

I loved the great selection of outdoor items offered at Kohl’s. I plan to buy a few more items to spruce up my space even more. The next thing I’m hoping to purchase is a nice outdoor area rug. It’ll help to complete the overall look of the space. Before that however, I think I may have to look for some professional Deck Cleaning services, because the space could definitely do with a good scrub! And if I plan to add a new rug, then it definitely needs a clean. I do have an area rug there now, but it’s zebra print and definitely doesn’t match the look I’m going for!

Do you have an Outdoor Living Space? What’s your favorite piece in that space?

    We actually build a sunroom out of our deck. We use it all year round and in the Spring through Fall, we leave the windows open to let the fresh air in. It may not be the total outside, but with all the windows and the fresh air coming through, it feels like an outdoor space. We tend to eat in the sunroom and relax their in the evening because it overlooks our backyard.

    I have an outdoor living space and I like my glass table with my big brown overstuffed chair. I like the pillows you got. They are so pretty. It must be nice living in Hawaii. I need to spruce up my area a little bit more.

    The outdoor space that we utilize the most, as in practically live there in warm months,is our back patio It covered but not screened. I am a gardening nut so the entire patio is lined with planters full of various veggies. I just bought some batty operated lights and strung them up. Along with some blue glass Tiki torches. I just love the lamp look of the black iron and blue glass. With all the plants growing it looks like a jungle. I love a good morning breeze , a cuppa Joe, the smell of the tomato plants & the sound of the wind-chimes tinkling.
