Everything is better when done outdoors. And residing in Southwest Florida, you have plenty of opportunity
\nto live life alfresco on the daily, whether heading to the beach, relaxing by the pool, strolling through a farmer’s
\nmarket or dining at a sidewalk caf\u00e9.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To keep that outdoor energy going all day and into the night, we turn to living spaces that blur the lines between
\ninside and out. Creating an open-air oasis that feels like an extension of your home invites you (and your guests) to
\nlinger just a little longer. Whatever your end goal \u2013 lounging around or living it up \u2013 we have just the right mix of
\nfurniture from sofas to chairs to dining tables that will keep the mood going long after the sun has set.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoor Seating that Keeps the Conversation
\nFlowing<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sit a Spell<\/b><\/h3>\n

A sofa and chair provide more than just a place to sit. They create intimacy by making clever use of outdoor space,
\nwhether arranged on a sweeping rooftop terrace, an expanse of lawn, poolside or in a patio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider generously proportioned options, like the pieces in our <\/span>Siesta Key Collection<\/span><\/a>, named for a laid-back island
\njust off the coast of Sarasota. With wonderfully relaxed silhouettes that impart a casual-chic aesthetic (just like
\nSiesta Key Village)<\/a>, they invite relaxation with a welcoming design. Better in pairs, the chair swivels to face wherever
\nthe conversation is headed. Both pieces are slipcovered with easy, fuss-free fabric that’s resistant to paw prints, spills
\nand whatever the weather may bring.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Siesta<\/p>\n

Our <\/span>Brooke Collection<\/span><\/a> makes any outdoor space just as luxuriously livable as its indoor counterpart. Both the sofa
\nand chair get their modern edge from clean lines, a low profile, sloped arms and thick, boxed legs. Amply plumped
\ncushions offer soft, sink-in comfort, while lumbar pillows provide added back support.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Brooke<\/p>\n

Pouf, Like Magic<\/b><\/h3>\n

Endlessly versatile, a pouf is a must-have accent that instantly adds a pop of personality to your outdoor seating
\narrangements. These master multitaskers can be used as an impromptu seat, a place to prop your feet or as extra
\nsurface space (think side table or coffee table). Our <\/span>Bottega Pouf<\/span><\/a> adds a subtle shot of color and pattern to your seating
\nmix with thin, multicolored stripes in soothing sea-inspired shades. Just as comfortable indoors, the welted trim brings
\ntailored touch to the design.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Outdoor<\/p>\n

Bringing the Indoors, Out <\/b><\/h2>\n

An outdoor living area deserves the same level of attention and detail as the interior of your home. Think about all
\nthe pieces that up the comfort factor, then reimagine them outside.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Take It to the floor<\/h3>\n

Rugs<\/span><\/a> set the tone of your space by adding color, depth and texture, as well as softness underfoot. Use them strategically
\nto visually separate areas outside by placing a virtual frame around your furniture. For expansive outdoor spaces
\nwithout structure, a rug can be used to anchor a seating area to make it more conversational in nature. Floor coverings
\ncrafted from manmade materials, such as nylon and polyester, are often water-resistant and highly durable, while
\nnatural fiber rugs like jute and bamboo are best suited to covered patios.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Siesta<\/p>\n

Bring It to the Table<\/b><\/h3>\n

Whether sipping coffee solo or hosting a dinner party, a dining table offers a place to relax and recharge. Our
\n<\/span>Woven Collection<\/span><\/a> features an assortment of pieces to create a cohesive look and feel. Crafted of teak that weathers
\nover time to a beautiful patina, this <\/span>table’s<\/span><\/a> round silhouette can always accommodate one more guest. The optional
\nLazy Susan makes serving a breeze, while the coordinating mixed material <\/span>dining chairs<\/span><\/a> add cushioned comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Woven<\/p>\n

Outdoor Mood Lighting<\/b><\/h3>\n

Keep the party glowing into the night by adding layers of illumination. Start with sconces on the exterior of your
\nhome to light the way, then add an overhead chandelier or natural fiber pendant to a covered patio area. Take
\nadvantage of the Florida sunshine and stake solar-powered lights along garden paths. Place large lanterns on the
\nground near seating areas, along with hurricanes and votive candles on tabletops. Use flameless candles for a
\nworry-free flicker. For the <\/span>pi\u00e8ce de resistance<\/span><\/i>, hang string lights across a pool, pond or fountain to beautifully expose
\nthe reflective quality of water.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Outdoor<\/p>\n

Being outside is synonymous with the Florida lifestyle we get to enjoy \u2013 and there’s no time of year like the present
\nto live outside. With a few key pieces of weather-friendly furniture, you can enjoy all that the great outdoors has to
\noffer year-round.<\/span><\/p>\n
