Nate's Design Tip: 'Whether it’s succulents in planters, a vase of branches, or a garland on a table, it will immediately elevate your outdoor area.'
4. Delegate funds to a worthwhile seating arrangement
Nate's Design Tip: 'I love the Valencia Eucalyptus Patio set for this reason, plus – it has deep seating and couldn’t be more elegant.'
5. Have a handful of cozy options on hand for when temperatures begin to dip
Nate's Design Tips: 'Bring out pillows and throws and add an outdoor rug – whether on the grass for a picnic or under your patio furniture.'
