Why It Works

Mid-century outdoor design extends the sculptural aesthetic to the patio with wire mesh chairs, a tulip-style side table, and a sunburst mirror on an exterior wall. Warm-toned planters in geometric shapes and an outdoor rug with an atomic pattern complete the retro outdoor lounge.

Choose wire or acapulco-style outdoor chairs
2
Add a teak or metal side table with splayed legs
3

String globe-style outdoor lights
