The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring life to any room, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.

With beautiful weather and summertime right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about outdoor entertaining! Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a small balcony, plenty of ways exist to create a beautiful and functional outdoor space for hosting guests. At The Pineapple Girls, we believe every outdoor entertaining space should be both stylish and practical. In this blog post, we’ll be sharing our top outdoor entertaining essentials, from furniture to decor to dining pieces.

1. FABULOUS FURNITURE FINDS

The right outdoor furniture can transform your space into a comfortable and inviting oasis. When choosing outdoor furniture, consider the size of your space and the number of guests you’ll be hosting. If you have a larger space, a sectional or outdoor sofa can provide ample seating. Our Cabana Collection offers style and outdoor-grade quality with its marine-grade birch wood frame & 100% acrylic Sunbrella fabric slipcover that is durable and washable.

Slipcovered Cabana Outdoor Sectional

For a smaller space, opt for chairs and a small table. Our Newport Barrel Chair is timeless and beautiful. Handwoven in UV-resistant N-dura™ resin wicker for long-lasting enjoyment! This chair pairs perfectly with the Newport Ottoman or one of our new favorites, the Devante Accent Table. This petite table is made for outdoor entertaining, handcrafted from twisted faux wicker and built to withstand varied elements and temperatures. The perfect choice for drinks on the patio or by the pool!

Adding outdoor decor can instantly elevate your entertaining space. Think about incorporating outdoor rugs, lanterns, and throw pillows in coordinating colors and patterns. The Pineapple Girls are pleased to offer NEW outdoor pillows by John Robshaw to our in-store and online collection.

These beautiful prints are resistant to both sun and rain for long-lasting use in your outdoor space. Another great option for eye-catching designs and whimsical patterns is our Gray Malin Outdoor Pillows. For decorative accessories to style in your covered outdoor sitting area, we recommend our rattan lanterns both a part of our last-chance sale. For a functional touch, consider installing a chandelier in your space. Our designers love to use the Denison Lantern in covered patios, made from a hammered wrought-iron fixture and available in small, medium, or large.

3. Al Fresco Feasting

When it comes to outdoor dining, it’s important to have the right pieces for both functionality and style. Melamine or acrylic dishes are great options for outdoor dining as they are lightweight and durable. Our Mario Luca Giusti Lente highballs and tumblers offer a truly unique look and are made from unbreakable crystal clear acrylic, perfect for entertaining around the pool. Also available in a large Salad Bowl or set of 6 snack bowls.

Melamine dinnerware is another popular choice as it is lightweight and easy to clean, making it ideal for picnics or backyard barbecues. Shown below is our popular Bamboo Chip & Dip Bowl, Blue Bamboo Dinner Plates (Set of 4), and Green Bamboo Lunch Plates (Set of 6).

For those looking for a more classic and versatile option, our ocean blue or crisp white enamel plates are the ideal choice for outdoor dining. Made from high-quality materials, these plates can withstand extreme heat and are great for use outdoors or indoors. They are perfect for casual gatherings or elegant outdoor dinner parties.

Creating a beautiful and functional outdoor entertaining space is all about choosing the right pieces.

Blue, White and Gold

Blue and white will always be classic yet current, and it’s one of the Pineapple Girl’s favorite color combos.   It’s perfect for an ocean inspired room.  In the photo below, the touches of gold add a modern vibe and keep the look current.  A little bling is never a bad thing, right?

blog post.jpgUsing the white slipcovered sofas and white shiplap walls as our canvas, we added complimentary blues in a variety of patterns and textures.  The pops of gold really make the room! The key is to add just enough gold to make a statement…don’t go overboard.

How To Create Extra Seating In Your Home

When planning the look of your space, remember that stylish decor elements in your home can also be functional. We love stools and ottomans tucked away for extra seating when guests come over.  In the photo below, a pair of ottomans opposite the coffee table adds a bit of fun, while maintaining casual elegance in the space.

Living Room Design by Pineapples, Palms, Etc. Design Team

These cute stools can be placed next to a sofa or occasional chair as a perfect spot to place a drink or magazine.  Under a console, they add a decorative element and you can easily slide them out to add a few extra seats to your living room.

stoolsPoufs are trending right now, and the Pineapple Girls love them.  They are soft and plush, and can be customized with a variety of fabrics.

Stools, poufs and ottomans can also be used in the bathroom…they are the perfect seating for a vanity.  We love these Lee Industries ottomans with nailhead trim.

Here are a few of our favorite pieces to add extra seating to your home…

20 Throw Pillows For Your Coastal Home

We are always talking pillows, and as in our previous blog posts,  adding new throw pillows to a room is one of the easiest ways to freshen up your decor. The Pineapple Girls love throw pillows and there are so many options for your coastal inspired home.

We love belgian linen, ikat and personalized pillows in fresh, crisp fabrics. We also think throw pillows should be luxuriously overstuffed…life is too short!  Slipcovered pillows make them very easy to clean and swap out with the season.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Magnolia Home Rugs by Joanna Gaines

We’re huge fans of HGTV’s popular show, Fixer Upper, and are so excited to be carrying Joanna Gaines new line of area rugs.  Joanna’s new collection reflects her simple and fresh, yet timeless style.

Joanna’s line was announced in the Fall, and when we saw it at the High Point Furniture Market, we fell in love and knew we had to have it!

joanna_lifestyle

We’re attracted to Joanna’s design creativity, and her feelings about the story behind how these rugs are crafted, as she describes on her blog:

“Something I love about these textiles is that they are made in different places using a variety of old and new world techniques. Some are hand knotted or hooked in India from 100% wool or jute, others are power-loomed in Egypt from polyester, and that’s not even the half of it. The whole process intrigues me. I love knowing that each one of these rugs was made with love and care, no matter what country the artisan who made it is from.”

The blue rug in the photo below is part of Emmie Kay Collection, with a delicate hand-woven pattern work inspired by traditional Nordic sweater motifs.

Joanna is known for her rustic style with modern touches. Many of her designs feature shiplap, which is a Pineapple Girl’s favorite for walls!

The collection features rugs of all sizes and includes both wool and jute rugs. Jute rugs work well in a coastal inspired home. The natural fibers and texture are perfect for a beach house.

How To Mix and Match Fabrics In Your Coastal Home

When choosing decor for a space, fabric is a key element. It’s important to find the right combination for your drapery, furniture and pillows. Many people are intimidated by the different options and unsure how to coordinate different patterns together. We think choosing fabric should be a fun experience! Once you know a few tricks, you can mix and match like a pro.

fullsizerender-27

First, choose your color palette. If it’s blues, multiple tones are a great choice, this gives you more options when selecting accessories.

Typically you fall in love with a pattern within your palette, which is usually bold and becomes your “lead” fabric, from there you can choose less prominent coordinating patterns to pull it all together.

Stripes are always a good choice for your 2nd fabric, as they blend well with ikats, large patterns, small patterns, or just about everything.

The third fabric could be a solid.  If you use a pattern on your throw pillows, you might want a solid on your drapes.  If your sofa is solid, the throw pillows are a great place to add some patterns.

fullsizerender-28Think about mixing different textures and materials.  The Pineapple Girls love linen, linen/cotton blends, velvet and woven fabrics.  You can mix these materials in one room to add variety.

A good rule to remember is the rule of three.  More than three colors or patterns in a room can look busy.

fullsizerender-25

A white, slipcovered sofa is a great canvas for adding patterned throw pillows in colorful fabrics.
