Elegant and Stylish Wicker Seating Furniture for Your Modern Patio

If you are a stylish person, you also want to have stylish furniture in your home and that includes in your patio. It is nice to decorate the patio with elegant furniture pieces, such as wicker furniture. Although wicker is considered classic, many of the furniture manufacturers now have reinvented the wicker furniture designs. Most of these manufacturers no longer use the natural wicker, but they use the synthetic ones or the all-weather wicker. The most common type of wicker furniture is the sofa. Most homeowners use wicker sofas in their patios.

The Alfresco Home Cayman Deep Seating Sofa in Coconut Finish is a perfect piece of furniture in the patio. It is made of an all-weather wicker in a high-density polyethylene resin. It has quality T5-Grade Aluminum in powder coated frame.

You could go for the Elements Outdoor, “The King Couch.” This appealing and sleek wicker furniture is upholstered in a perdurable fabric and its base has strong and ultraviolet-resistant resin wicker.

If you want to enjoy the summer sun more in your patio, you could buy the Enjoi Outdoor Oceanside Modern Rattan Chaise Lounge. It has simple, clean lines. This chaise lounger is wrapped in woven resin and has a powder coated aluminum frame. It is 100% weather-resistant and it is available in Espresso or White finish.

If you have a swimming pool, you could have an Infinita SplashLounger which is made of durable all-weather rattan. It has a rotating multi-layer injection mold that makes it durable and strong. It has a corrosion-free stainless steel bolts that connects the 2 shape pieces.

You could add the colorful Lebello Chair 6 Outdoor Chair with an open back. It is made of 100% outdoors-resistant all-weather wicker with aluminum frame. It is available in different colors and it is easy to clean and maintain.

Your modern patio will have a sophisticated, elegant and chic look with these wicker patio furniture pieces. Whether it is a wicker couch or a wicker chaise lounge, you will never go wrong with the wicker furniture.

Bedding fit for a Queen

 This ornate bedrooom set is from Horchow Collection as is the bedspread.

Sometimes you need custom made items to finish off the look, and in this case 

my client wanted custom pillow shams that would be overstuffed and 

make a good backdrop for some elegant toss pillows.

 I suggested using a brown velvet and
designed a one edged cascading ruffled sham,

 so that when they were fit together,

 the ruffle fell to either sides of the bed.

We plan to cover the regular king pillows in

 dark brown cases so they blend in behind the shams.

Upholstery velvet was used and welting made for a polished look.  

An overlapping back method was used to insert the sham from behind.

 Extra stuffing was added to give it a full look.

Velvet is tricky to work with because it has a nap, 

and if you don't cut it all in the same direction,

when you sew it together it will look like two colors. 

Each piece needed to be marked for nap direction

prior to cutting and then referenced before stitching.

After finishing the shams I hit Home goods and returned  

to my workroom with an assortment of pillows I thought would

suit the bedding and the room's color palette 
and look pretty with the chocolate shams.

We didn't end up using the chocolate brown tosses, but kept the rest, 

after setting them up on the bed and seeing what looked best. 

Always buy more than you need, it is so much easier

 to return what you don't want, than to go looking for other options.

 I rarely make custom toss pillows because I am confident

 I can find great examples at Home Goods for a fraction of the cost,

 and in this case I was lucky to find tosses in luxe colors and styles.

 Coppery peach silk squares with giant 
peach colored diamonds in the ruched centers~

 Melon rectangle pillow with a triple ruffle embellishment
 was the exact color of the ceiling.

The tray ceiling is highlighted in a canteloupe color.

 Animal prints, rich dark woods with gold highlights,

 and citrus shades in rust, copper, brown, orange, and melon

make for a very exotic and rich bedroom. 

I was almost feeling like a Million Dollar Decorator!

 Beyond the armoire you can see the bathroom window treatment I did last year.

This bedroom set has old world styling.

Customized shams and the perfect find for toss pillows make this bedroom complete.
