Embrace your Summer Nights with Stylish Fire Pits

There’s nothing like gathering around a fire pit on a summer night. Fire pits add a touch of elegance to your outdoor space and are great for extra warmth and light, ensuring that you and your guests can keep enjoying one another’s company even on cool nights.

You don’t even need a lot of space to incorporate fire pits into your summer decor. Opt for a portable wood-burning fire pit with a stylish design like FireBox garden wood burner, or FireCube. Both of these fire pits are designed for year-round outdoor use so you can enjoy its benefits beyond the summer months.

Build an Outdoor Bar for Unforgettable Entertainment

Make your space the place by adding an outdoor bar into your summer decor. An outdoor bar is the perfect spot for celebrating and hosting impromptu happy hours with friends and loved ones. And sets the stage for entertainment that will be memorable for years to come.

Whether you opt for a simple but stylish combination of a table and a chair, or you get full-on for a deluxe setup such as Iceberg, a well-designed bar is a must for your summer decor.

Set the Mood of Summer Decor with Outdoor Lighting

Set the mood of your summer nights by embracing the power of outdoor lighting. The right lights create a warm and inviting atmosphere, highlight the beauty of your summer decor and accentuate architectural features.

With a variety of options available, such as pendant lights or pathway lighting, you can easily customize the lighting to suit your style and preferences. Want something functional and elegant? Look no further than the versatile Meridiano lights that can be used as outdoor seating by day and lamp by night.

Refresh Your Dining Area for Summer Gatherings

Whether it's a casual brunch or an elegant dinner, a dining area sets the stage for enjoyable conversations and shared experiences. If you love to cook outdoors, consider also adding a kitchen to your outdoor space. That way, you can have everything you need to make meals without having to go inside.

A stylish table such as the geometric Bioko Color or Fabbrico is all you need to get started. To complete the picture, pair the tables with stunning designer chairs like Panarea and Moments. And don't forget to shield your dining area from the sun with a parasol, ensuring comfortable meals for you and your guests.

Set Up a Cozy Seating Area

Dreaming of a lounging area for reading or hanging with guests? When choosing seating areas for your summer decor, think about function, comfort and aesthetics so your outdoor space feels just like an inviting living room - imagine being surrounded by soft pillows, as you unwind and soak up the gentle summer breeze.

Begin with a luxurious waterproof sofa or daybed like the Angle Sofa, the Peacok Daybed, the Peacock Wing or a flexible sunbed. For ultimate flexibility and comfort, choose multiple seating styles for your summer decor, ensuring everyone finds their ideal spot.

Be Creative with Decorative Elements, Starting with Rugs

The power of a good rug to transform a space should never be underestimated — even outdoors. Rugs make your outdoor area feel more welcoming and complete. Place one under a coffee table to really anchor your centerpiece and add an extra touch of magic to your summer decor.

Embrace the trend of seamless indoor-outdoor design by matching your outdoor decor to your indoor style with Circle, a simple and elegant rug that can be used outdoors as well as indoors. And experiment further with other decorative elements, like the Circle footstool, to add other decorative layers to your summer decor.
