Your Backyard Essentials Checklist

Outdoor movie night in the pool might be the best thing July has to offer. 🎬🌙

The setup doesn't have to be complicated. String lights, a projector, a few floats, and the right people. That's it.

Have you ever done a pool movie night? Would you try it? 🌊

Did you know? The chairs and barstools in your kitchen do more design work than almost any other piece in the room. 🪑

They're at eye level. They're pulled out, pushed in, and seen from every angle. And because they're smaller than a sofa, people often underspend on them thinking it won't matter. It does.

A great stool or dining chair can pull together finishes from across the whole room without a renovation. 🙌

This is the summer energy we're chasing. ☀️🌼

No notifications. No to-do list. Just blue water, warm sun, and a lounge chair with your name on it. The pool isn't just a feature of your backyard. In July, it IS the backyard. 😎

One question that can instantly change how your living room feels: is your rug actually big enough? 🏡

If your furniture is surrounding the rug instead of connecting to it, it's probably too small for the space. The front legs of your sofa and chairs should sit ON the rug to anchor everything together.

It sounds simple, but it makes a huge difference in how finished and pulled-together a room feels.🙌

Mixed materials, as featured in POLYWOOD's new woven collection, are one of the hottest trends in outdoor furniture, combining all-weather wicker with genuine POLYWOOD lumber for a fresh look that brings resort vibes to your backyard.

July is peak pool season and it goes fast. 🌊

If your pool area is missing something, whether that's seating, shade, storage, toys, or the finishing touches that make it feel like a real backyard retreat, stop in this week.

Summer waits for no one. ☀️

Thinking about an accent wall but not sure where to start? Here's the rule most designers use. 🎨

Pick the wall your eye naturally goes to when you walk into the room. Usually that's the wall directly across from the entrance, or the one behind your main furniture anchor like a bed or sofa. That's your accent wall.

Bold color, interesting texture, or even a statement light fixture can do the work from there. ✨
