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.
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?
I agree with you, I love pillows in the couch and even at the living room. and I got like 5 pillows in bed 🙂
I love the colors and your pillows.I have pillows on my couch as well but they never remain there. LOL !!!
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.
Love those pillows!! I don’t have a good outdoor living space – I wish that I did!
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.
I am loving those pillows! My fave outdoor piece has to be my chairs, although I need a makeover!
I love everything! I didn’t know that Kohl’s sold these items. Thank you for sharing!!!!
Oh my! What a gorgeous space! The colors are vivid…I could totally relax there.
Kohl’s has a great selection of outdoor furniture and accent items. I got a great set of chaise lounge cushions. I love the pillows you picked out. I wish I would have seen those also.
Love the colors you choose! I love my outdoor patio, my favorite piece we have out there is my outdoor lounger. So relaxing.
Those pillows look great. We are big fans of Kohl’s. They always have great deals.
You guys in Hawaii are just like us in Cyprus. Great weather and we like to be outdoors as much as possible. Love those pillows, very bright and colorful!
I love Kohl’s and the great deals that I can get there for my home! This room looks great!!
So pretty! The colors are gorgeous!
I love the pillows. I definitely need to check out Kohls. From other posts I have read I was thinking they just sold clothes.
I love that bistro table! That would sure come in handy on my porch area. What a great look!
Love the colors you chose, It looks really nice. I would love to have an outdoor space to decorate like this.
I live in a town house without a patio. You managed to make it beautiful.
I like the color theme that you are using–so colorful! Pillows make it so comfy!
I love these suggestions. I have a Florida room that needs redoing. These are some great suggestions
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.
sounds like a nice and relaxing place.
I love the oranges in the items you chose, so cheerful.
Love the flow of this room!! Awesome job. Could really use some good interior decorating tips Lol.
Love those pillows! I’m a fairly new shopper at Kohl’s, but I’m very impressed.
A NICE COMFORTABLE CHAIR……….
I love the ideas! AND all of the colors! thanks so much!
I like those hibiscus pillows, nice and bright!
I love the color combo with the chair and the pillow. Very nice and modern.
I love so many things at Kohl’s and having several kids, I can get such great deals at this store to help me out. Your pillows look great, great decorator you are
