Today is May Day! Here at LRM Interior Design, we’ve decided to celebrate it with an Inspiration piece on outdoor furniture. Yep, it’s that time of year. Our executive administrator Kristen Rusert was the one to bring up the patio furniture, and wanted to help our readers find the most stylish—and most affordable—items for your outdoor area.
“I chose this inspiration topic for two reasons: the changing of the season and the economic climate,” says Kristen.  “We’re Southern California residents, as are most of our clients, and that means we look forward to summer as the time for relaxing outside in the sunshine.”
Both sun- and shade-seekers know that nothing is better than spending summer days lounging on comfortable and stylish patio furniture.  Here are some great choices for the online shopper to achieve their summer outdoor paradise:CB2: Crate & Barrel’s sleeker sister site has a hip and creative selection of metal bistro-type seating through to elegant, Caribbean-resort style wicker furniture covered with cushions. Mix ‘n match the Sunny arm chairs that come in blue, yellow and silver for a splash of color.
Spacify: Looking for something the neighbors will never have? Look no further than Spacify. Their large and varied selection is mainly contemporary, but there’s a few classic pieces. One of our favorites for affordable style is the Wally Outdoor Streamer wooden lounger, with a choice of 21 fabrics for the removable cushion.
Kmart: If it’s good enough for Martha Stewart…and indeed, the doyenne of living well has created a range of outdoor furniture just for the national chain. The designs range from urban to country to wicker, and with prices so low you’ll think there’s a catch! Create a Parisian garden with the Aberdeen Wire Bistro bench, table and chairs.
Williams Sonoma Home: Beautiful and classic sums up the Williams Sonoma aesthetic, and their products are perfect for adding that Cape Cod look to your backyard. The woven wicker St. Barths furniture wonderfully combines practicality and elegance. They don’t stop at furniture either—check out their outdoor pillows and throws. Right now it’s all 20% off!
After all that shopping, we’ll all deserve a cold, refreshing drink, something that’s best enjoyed on that brand-new furniture!
