Perfect Your Patio in Time for Summer

Ready to upgrade your patio or porch? With summer just around the corner, now’s the time to create a beautiful outdoor space with new furniture and accessories — and the shops and showrooms in the Dallas Design District are the perfect place to start.

Small Spaces

Just because you have a small patio or porch doesn’t mean you can’t think big. Imagine starting your day with a fresh cup of coffee as the sun rises and winding down at sunset with a glass of wine. All you need is a bistro table and a small cushioned bench or a few outdoor gliders, and you’re all set. Check out McGannon Showroom for more outdoor ideas.

Al Fresco Grilling

Love al fresco dining? Then you’ll love al fresco cooking. Everyone loves gathering in the kitchen at dinner parties, so why not take the kitchen outside? Imagine throwing your next backyard BBQ with everything you need at your fingertips, including a plenty of counter space, a decked-out grill, a pizza oven, a sink and an outdoor fridge. You can even get wood grain and stainless steel cabinetry in designer colors. And you can get everything you need at the DDD’s Brown Jordan.

Out of the Backyard Box

Just can’t get excited about patio chairs and tables? There are enough unconventional outdoor spaces to satisfy any eccentric’s heart. Hang a hammock or a swinging lounger from your trees. No trees? No problem. Dedon has a collection of hanging and standing outdoor seating options that stand out from the crowd.

Lighting

Set the mood with the right outdoor lighting to keep the party going all night, even if it’s just a party for one. Shield yourself from the harsh Texas sun with exterior shades, and light up the night with the perfect lighting design from Ex Design Group. Underwater lighting is perfect for an evening swim, and pathway and tree lights will keep you and your home safe.

No matter your design preferences or the size of your porch or patio, the shops and showrooms at the DDD have everything you need to set up your outdoor space for summer. But when you’re ready for a break from your own patio, come check out some of ours on a night of DDD patio-hopping.
