ULTIMATE SUMMER STYLE GUIDE:
4 FUN SPACES TO INSPIRE YOUR NEW SUMMER HANGOUT

Splash Pad

Dive in and make your outdoor pad the perfect place to create some waves while enjoying family time. Choose a modern ceiling fan paired with minimalist lanterns to instantly elevate the exterior. Up the ante by adding in the ultimate grill, luxe towels with peppy prints and a zippy floating cooler to make summer fun an absolute breeze with kids, neighbors and friends.

Soothe Operator

When it’s time to unwind, shift into neutral with a peaceful retreat. Create an oasis of calm with a chic portable speaker and earthy elements like a personal mini-fireplace that reinforce a spa-like vibe. Sleek modern LED lanterns set on a dimmer double as mood lighting, while contemporary deck and path lighting add security for total relaxation. Layer in an unexpected pop of color with chic dinnerware and an over scaled glass dispenser for cocktails at sunset.
