Last month was all about making small adjustments that make a big impact in your home. But as we head into June, the hot weather has us dying to make powerful décor statements that match our summer enthusiasm.
Can you handle it? Get ready to go bold or go home!
Outdoor Carpets
Outdoor rugs and carpets have been on the décor scene for at least five years, but it’s only now that we’re seeing them dominate the outdoor space.
Incorporating an outdoor carpet instantly transforms a drab patio into a truly magnificent outdoor room. They bring instant color and anchor seating areas to finish the look.
But it’s not just the vibrant colors and patterns we adore; they’re incredibly fade and weather resistant, and work perfectly in high traffic areas. Isn’t it great when fabulous is functional?
!nspire tip: Don’t be afraid to use your outdoor carpet inside. Moms and pet-owners alike will appreciate their durability without sacrificing style.
Most home renovation stores are a good place to start. They generally carry a large selection of outdoor carpets.
Printed Chairs
The subtle and muted furniture trends of past seasons are behind us and we’re thrilled to welcome bright, bold patterns.
If your walls and carpets are solid colors, adding printed furniture is exactly what you need to break up your space and have some fun!
Accent chairs are great for this. We recommend trying our Angus ii Accent Chair in Black. The stylish metal stud detailing, cowhide fabric and wing back design is perfect for making that printed statement you’ve been aching for.

But don’t forget about your patio! (It is summer, after all.) You can easily bring prints to your outdoor seating with bold cushions and weather-friendly accent pillows. They’re all the rage for summer 2014.
Stylish Grills
Remember when your hubby’s grill used to be the eyesore of your patio?
Not anymore.
BBQs have become a BIG deal and we’re seeing stylishly-designed models that fit seamlessly into outdoor décor.
If you’re going for a rustic theme, you can easily encase your grill with wood and even create a grilling workspace while you’re at it.
If rustic isn’t your style, take a look at your grill and find ways to work with it instead of against it.
Play with its elements. Is it chrome/stainless? If so, try incorporating chrome tables, chairs or planters into your patio theme.
If there’s really nothing you can do with your existing BBQ, perhaps it’s time to buy a new model? An informal poll at the !nspire office suggested that few husbands or wives would protest a new BBQ purchase!
You know what they say, where there’s a grill, there’s a way.
How do you plan on going bold this month? Let us know in the comments below! Cheers to summer, everyone 🙂
