Outdoor Living Room Designs

By Darren Hartley


An outdoor living room can be created with salvaged windows, weathered seating and rustic garden ornaments. They turn a small deck into an enchanted spot for entertaining. Garden walls help a patio or deck feel like a living room, regardless of their being made out of greenery, stone or old church windows.

An enchanting outdoor living room is not complete without accessories that give it a dramatic impact. Small gothic windows and 18-inch-high column capitals can provide for that. These column capitals also make handsome bases for low tables with rustic stone tops.

The delivery of splashes of bold colors to an outdoor living room is the task of vintage styled metal seating. Meanwhile, the development of a rusty patina in the living space is the job of an untreated iron candle stand or handcrafted floor candelabra. By the way, instant patina can be given to new things used as accessories by spraying them with brown or green paint sparingly in a random pattern to suggest age.

Aside from the use of an armillary sundial as a rustic garden ornament to your outdoor living room, you can also turn to plant-themed pillows for that additional decorative punch. These pillows can also soften the otherwise hard look of the vintage styled metal seating.

With its classical shape and Greek key detail, an old-world urn is sure to provide the look of an ancient stone in the outdoor living room. For the added evocation of an old world look, woven tapestries, Aubusson rugs and accessories with a distressed gift finish can complete the ensemble.

To summarize, the hallmark of an Old World design for an outdoor living room is a comfortable, broken-in look that shows the wear and tear of its components. For style exemplification, textured walls, hand-trawled windows and tumbled marble are some elements to incorporate in the space decoration.
