Part 1: Get Ready for Outdoor Living!

After a very icy few months, it seems as if Atlanta has finally turned a corner, and spring will be here in no time! And we are ready for the warmer weather! For us, warm weather means outdoor living, dining al fresco, container gardening, and long walks with the dogs around the duck pond. It’s heaven, and we can’t wait! In preparation, we’re working with many of our customers and clients to create fabulous outdoor spaces that will make the most of the outdoors this season. We’re seeing so many people looking to extend their living space and create spaces for really living in the out of doors. In fact, this post is part of a whole series on outdoor living on the blog for steve mckenzie’s!

Luckily, steve mckenzie’s offers some amazing outdoor furniture options for folks looking to make the most of just about any outdoor space. Here are the few things to consider as you ready yourself and your space for outdoor living:

  • Ask yourself how you’ll use the space?
  • Do you host large groups or intimate gatherings?

  • Are there full meals being enjoyed in your outdoor space or just lite bites and cocktails?

  • Is your home located in a high rise, or is the space at a cabin in the mountains?
  • Should you be concerned with weather conditions, i.e. wind blowing furniture off the patio, etc.?
