Free-standing outdoor spaces, such as gazebos or other garden structures, differ from sheltered spaces in several ways. Generally, they are not seen from the front of the house and are usually integrated with the landscape. |

Choosing Decorative and
Functional Furniture for Your Front Porch
Furniture for
outdoor use spans the designs made popular through the centuries. You can select
benches similar to those used in Versailles, Adirondack chairs, antebellum
wrought iron inspired by Victorian New Orleans, and myriad other choices.
Outdoor
Decorating
Savvy homeowners don't end their decorating at
the door, they keep going to include the decks, porches, sun rooms, and patios
that surround their homes.There are two types of outdoor spaces: those
totally or partially protected from the elements, such as sun rooms, porches, or
gazebos, and those areas open to the elements, such as decks, patios, or garden
hideaways.
A deck may not count towards the square footage of your home, but it will help your home feel larger and expand your opportunities for entertaining.On the other hand, a fun theme is great if you have kids. For example, the Beach theme is ever popular for decks. Beach and lounge chairs cover the deck with a table and chairs in the center covered in bright blue and white striped fabric.
