If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know that I hinted at a secret web series I was filming out in LA a few weeks ago and I can finally share that I’ve teamed up with Pier 1 Imports for a series of videos showing you four ways to transform your backyard for the summer season! I’m excited to reveal the first video which is all about creating a festive, Americana-themed outdoor living room perfect for a patriotic BBQ celebration. Click the video below for my top tips on outdoor decorating and entertaining plus see how I transformed a blank canvas patio into the ultimate backyard lounge. I also included links below for the key items in the video so you can create this look in your own yard!

Takeaway Tips

1. Plan your seating layout to encourage conversation. Keeping all of the furniture low helps create a more intimate vibe.

2. Incorporate the same layers you would in an indoor living room to bring personality to your outdoor space. Think rugs, pillows and cushions but in durable outdoor fabrics that are UV resistant and can hold their own in the elements.

3. Bring in ambient Lighting. A fire pit, combined with string lights and lanterns will add a warm, ambient glow and create a cozy vibe as your party transitions from day to night.

4. Mix and match different prints and patterns to create create visual interest.

5. Don’t forget those perfect tabletop accents and serving pieces to coordinate with your outdoor decor!
