Rachel Hazelton: Summer Style

The design of your outdoor space can be an extension of the personal style and mood you have created inside your home. Since our outdoor furnishings here in New England are seasonal, it’s also an opportunity to experiment and take a bold approach with new colors or a more modern approach to your outdoor décor. My selections for outdoor style are fresh, modern and fun reflecting the spirit of summer.

Exotic, bold and bright describes the super chic Windsor Smith Collection of outdoor fabrics for Kravet. Windsor Smith’s modern color palette and globally influenced pattern designs combine to create a truly classic outdoor fabric collection for Kravet that can work in any décor from modern to traditional.

The Shell Day Bed from Janus et Cie is ideal for poolside lounging in style.  I love the lounger’s oversized scale and modern round form.

Restoration Hardware’s Laguna Concrete Fire Table is the perfect centerpiece adding ambience and elegance to outdoor seating.

The Globe Outdoor Sconce from West Elm is a fabulous find.  The look is simple, chic and very high style for only $99.

These Clairebella personalized melamine plates from Layla Grace add color and style to a casual backyard barbeque. My favorite is the IKat design.
