Let the Lions at Guard watch faithfully over your home as they bring a stately presence to your porch. These sculptures have a weathered sand finish that makes them look like aged statues. Place a neutral-hued doormat between them, and your porch now has a sense of grandeur! The Boardwalk Slice Mat is our pick due to its recycled rubber construction and skid-resistant design.

The best place to start is with a comfortable patio furniture set with a wicker-woven design. This set has a durable, powder-coated aluminum frame that resists rust, is UV-resistant, and is designed to be used outdoors year round. If you’re looking for additional seating comfort and a pop of color, add a pair of reversible chair cushions that are mildew-, weather-, fade-, and stain-resistant.

Every decorated space needs intrigue, dimension, and personalization, and wall décor is the perfect way to bring in all three. Light up late evenings with scrolling wall lanterns that can be used for design year round. Add a dash of personality with the scrolls and bronze hues of monogram wall art that’s UV-, weather-, and tarnish-resistant. This JasonW Studios® wall art is made in the USA and can be displayed outdoors year round.

You can even add style to your door! Hang summer on your door with sun-kissed yellow and white flowers on a floral wreath. Hang the wreath on a multilayered and two-toned hanger from JasonW Studios®. Made in the USA with a UV-, weather-, and tarnish-resistant design, this scrolling wreath hanger can be personalized with the first letter of your name.

Finish off the intimate atmosphere with water-repellant and fade-resistant tab-top curtain panels and elements of nature. Perch plants and statues atop column display pedestals that bring back the classic style of a bygone era and add another layer of intrigue to your newly-refurbished outdoor space.
