Design tips for decorating a funky style outdoor

Here’s how to achieve the funky aesthetic room of your dreams.

What’s the best way to design and decorate a funky outdoor?

Outdoor spaces offer a unique opportunity to blend the comfort of indoor living with the beauty of nature. Whether you're designing a cozy patio, a vibrant garden, or a functional outdoor kitchen, the design of your outdoor space is key to creating an environment where relaxation and entertainment can flourish side by side (and mother nature can shine!).

Here's how to approach your outdoor makeover for a seamless transition from indoors to out:

  • Zoning: Define distinct areas for different activities, such as dining, lounging, and gardening. Consider the flow between these zones to encourage easy movement and interaction.
  • Furniture Selection: Choose pieces that not only complement your aesthetic but are also durable and suited for outdoor conditions. Consider the scale of the furniture in relation to the space to avoid overcrowding or underutilization.
  • Natural Elements: Integrate your layout with the existing landscape. Use the contours of your garden, the direction of sunlight, and natural wind patterns to inform the placement of furniture and features.
  • Privacy and Comfort: Incorporate elements that enhance privacy and comfort, such as strategic plantings, pergolas, or screens. These can also add texture and color to your outdoor space.
  • Lighting: Plan for a mix of functional and ambient lighting to extend the usability of your outdoor space into the evening. Solar-powered lights, lanterns, and LED strips can illuminate paths and highlight key features without overwhelming the natural night-time setting.

By carefully considering these elements, you can create an outdoor design that not only extends your living space but also enhances your connection to the outdoors, making every moment spent outside a rejuvenating experience​​. If you need an extra hand in your design process, check out our step-by-step guide on How To Design a Room.

What materials and home decor should I use to achieve a funky outdoor design?

Funky style in interior design is all about embracing boldness, fun, and a touch of the unconventional. This style thrives on vibrant colors, whimsical patterns, and unique, often retro-inspired, furnishings that inject a lively spirit into any space. Funky style doesn't shy away from making a statement; it's characterized by its eclectic mix of elements that blend different periods, textures, and art forms to create a visually stimulating environment.

Incorporating the funky style into your outdoor decor means playing with a variety of textures, from shaggy rugs to smooth, glossy finishes, and everything in between. It's about choosing furniture that stands out for its artistic forms and inventive designs, perhaps featuring unusual shapes or eye-catching upholstery. Wall art is a must (think: pop art, abstract pieces, or large-scale colorful murals).

Funky style is a celebration of individuality, personal expression and creativity. We’ll always be the first to tell you that design rules are meant to be broken. So throw out every piece of design advice you’ve heard, and go wild!
