Wicker Patio Furniture Set - Creating a Specific Theme with Wicker II

!±8± Wicker Patio Furniture Set - Creating a Specific Theme with Wicker II

Ok so we've covered the tropical side of the outdoor world, now let's head down South. No, not south of the border, South as in Southern Charm. That old Southern Charm with the scent of Magnolia wafting through the air; air so thick you could slice right through it with an ice cube. Even if you live in a coastal state, you can experience a charming garden in your backyard where you can rest and relax and feel as if you are in another place. That's the grand thing about backyard decorating within a theme, is that you can be whisked away to another place and time, catered to your very preferences.

Wicker fits well in this theme of decorating because many of us have recollections of an old wicker rocker on Granny's front porch. This is timeless furniture that is classic and fitting both indoors and out, making it a perfect candidate for your charmed garden. Here's something to consider. When visiting your patio, people will notice first and foremost the furniture that you have placed there. When you decorated the interior of your home, it isn't likely that you tossed in a couple of chairs and left it at that. Looking at the area outside of your home as another room, which it really is, you can come up with so much more for it than just a couple of tables!

The option of creating an outdoor space with a touch of southern charm is really simple. First consider what pieces of furniture you are most likely to get the most use out of. Most look first at a dining group and leave it at that. But, look around at different ways to break up your outdoor space. Do you have room for some wicker sitting chairs? How about a loveseat or sofa with overstuffed cushions in rich garden colors? Sometimes when you look a little deeper and envision different layouts on the patio, you see how much room you really have! A seating group such as the Vineyard from NCI has such a charm that it is unmistakably welcoming. Who wouldn't want to cozy up on a cushioned loveseat or sitting chair?

A wonderful thing about the wicker of today is that it is made with resin instead of natural wood. This means not only that your tables and chairs can last much longer, but also that more color options are available, and those colors will resist fading. So if the typical white wicker doesn't suit you, there is the option to go with a natural honey hue, or a hunter green. Resin wicker is also much easier to maintain than that of our forefathers. There is not oiling or staining going on in today's furniture, thank goodness; just simple cleanings with a mild detergent and water, or sometimes just a hosing off when company pops in. In the cushion department, there are colors in weather resistant fabrics that will go with any resin color you choose. Keeping with the Southern charm décor, cushions with big, bold flowers that will accent your garden are a great choice.

How to Create Tuscan Style in Your Home

!±8± How to Create Tuscan Style in Your Home

Tuscan, or Mediterranean, style is a lovely theme to use when decorating your home. Selecting earth tones and touchable textures will give you a foundation. Adding rustic, natural and sturdy looking furnishings and accessories will supply the finishing touch.

The term 'Tuscan' comes from the large central region of Italy, Tuscany, whose capital is Florence. Its 8,900 sq. mi. is known for beautiful landscapes, artistry, and culture. It is regarded as the true birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. This coastal region of Italy has become the premium place to look for style in its wonderful colors and textures. If you want to bring a touch of this countryside into your home, you do not have to travel all the way to Italy. Just try following these simple guidelines.

Color is the first consideration when looking at Tuscan style. The basic color palette comes from landscape and agriculture. The main colors used in decorating are earth tones like terracotta, olive green, deep browns as well as blues and gold. These colors call to mind bright sunny days under clear skies looking across bountiful fields and sparkling lakes. The colors are often made to look weathered or are muted, reflecting timeless beauty like an ancient villa. Some other shades in this palette are apricot, lavender, turquoise, burgundy, ocher, bronze, cinnamon, ivory and ocean blue.

Texture is the next characteristic to consider. Most often, colors are combined with textures that beg to be touched. Walls are hand plastered and have a look and feel that is unique to Tuscany. Many professional artisans are reviving these classic plaster techniques, but for those on a tighter budget, this effect can be achieved through various faux finishing techniques such as knock-down and stucco. In the interior of Tuscan villas you will find amazing masonry in the form of marble floors and countertops in kitchens and baths. Spectacular stone work also defines fireplaces and foyers bringing the earthy feeling indoors.

Furnishings are typically simple and functional. Kitchen counters may be lined with an array of cooking herbs. Furniture is often of a classic wood and leather design, and tables may also have tile or stone tops further adding to the strong connection to the land.Fabrics have long been a favorite design solution for introducing color in to a room. A decorative throw pillow, a luxurious sofa throw or a favorite wall tapestry can be an inspiration piece for Tuscan wall colors. Wall tapestries with fringe, tassels and beads are also typical of Mediterranean décor. Wrought iron, ceramic and other hard surface materials can be softened with colorful table runners, drapery and woven wall art.

Pot racks are a superb way to bring old world Tuscan style into your kitchen. The most popular style of pot rack used in Tuscan decorating is probably the wrought iron pot rack. While there are many different designs available, the best pot rack is constructed of hand forged wrought iron. Wrought iron can be formed into traditional rectangular and round shapes, as well as decorative curves and flourishes. They can be left a traditional black or painted a Mediterranean earthy color. These details lend an authentic, old world, artisan craftsmanship quality to Tuscan décor.

The patio is an important part of the Tuscan home. Wrought iron patio benches, bar stools and chairs can be found alongside tile topped tables. The furnishings are surrounded by unpolished metal urns and terracotta pots brimming with greenery. Plants such as roses, geraniums and hydrangea are native to the Mediterranean climate and will give the outdoor living space an authentic feel. Other plants to consider are climbing vines such as clematis and jasmine, potted herbs like sweet basil, lavender, and rosemary, and potted lemon trees. These plants give a fragrant scent to the patio atmosphere. Other fruit and olive trees can often be found in the yard, too.

Tuscany is a region that is deeply connected to the land. This can be seen in its earthy colors and textures and its strong simple décor.The beauty of the land travels all the way from the rolling countryside into the patios and homes of the Tuscan people. Experimenting with earthy colors, textures, and furnishings can help transform your home into a veritable Mediterranean paradise.
