Designing a luxury outdoor space is about more than choosing beautiful furniture — it is about layering textures, colors, and patterns to create depth, personality, and a truly custom feel.
At Salvatore Outdoor, we believe the magic is in the details.
Here are our pro tips for creating an outdoor space that feels elevated, sophisticated, and effortlessly inviting:
1. Start with a Neutral Base
Choose your largest furniture pieces in timeless neutral tones — think soft grays, crisp whites, or natural teak finishes.
This creates a clean foundation that allows you to easily layer in bold accents later without overwhelming the space.
Salvatore Pro Tip:
Collections like Brown Jordan and MAMAGREEN offer stunning neutral options that feel fresh, not flat.
2. Mix Textures to Create Visual Interest
Outdoor spaces love contrast.
Pair smooth, powder-coated metal frames with woven seating.
Layer in soft, plush cushions against rustic teak wood.
Use textured rugs or rough stone elements to ground the space.
Salvatore Pro Tip:
Texture mixing keeps a neutral palette from feeling boring — and it photographs beautifully for hosting and events.
3. Use Color to Define Mood
Color is a powerful design tool.
Soft blues and greens create a calming, resort-inspired retreat.
Warm neutrals and terracottas make a space feel cozy and welcoming.
Crisp blacks and whites feel bold, modern, and clean.
Salvatore Pro Tip:
Select two or three accent colors and repeat them in pillows, umbrellas, and accessories for a cohesive, designer look.
4. Play with Patterns Carefully
Stripes, geometrics, and organic prints bring energy to an outdoor setting — but balance is key.
If you choose a bold patterned rug, keep your pillows more subdued.
If your umbrellas feature striking stripes (like a custom Frankford or Tuuci design), opt for solid lounge cushions.
Salvatore Pro Tip:
Patterns should complement, not compete. Think in layers: one bold pattern + one soft pattern + one solid = perfection.
5. Highlight Statement Pieces
Choose one hero piece to anchor your design — whether it’s a striking Brown Jordan lounge chair, a sculptural Tuuci umbrella, or a colorful MAMAGREEN dining set.
Build your supporting textures and colors around it for a curated, intentional look.
Salvatore Pro Tip:
Let your statement piece breathe. Give it space to stand out and set the tone for the entire design.
