Decking material, pavers, fencing and home exteriors tend to be neutral, so without some pattern and a punch of vivid colour, your space can look lackluster. These days, indoor-outdoor carpet and area rugs come in a bevy of patterns and colours, like the one shown here.
Throw pillows are another easy way to introduce pattern, colour and texture without a lot of commitment. Pillows also make stiff outdoor lounge seating more comfy.
LBB recommends: Dilli Haat for dhurries and pillow covers, these Sultanpur decor stores, Freedom Tree and Pulpypapaya for floor cushions.
