Dream - Outdoor Spaces for Daydreaming, 1

Desire to Inspire Luxury Outdoor Spaces at Home Infatuation BlogDesire to Inspire Blog

We are taking a break from blogging in earnest this August as we gear up for our September buying season.  August seems the perfect month for nothing but daydreaming so I'll be posting a dreamy inspiration instead of a full-length post to keep your imagination fueled.  We'll pick back up in September with a recap of last years trends and trends from this year's Casual Living show and sneak peaks of what you can expect from HomeInfatuation.com in 2012.

This week - great outdoor spaces for daydreaming.

Discover - Out of the Ordinary Planters

Maceta Terra Cotta Planter

Mike Voyles, Home Infautation's buyer (and my dad), has done a gret job of putting together a large selection of planters for a variety of outdoor living styles. The selection is so large it was impossible to showcase everything that HomeInfatuation.com has to offer in planter styles. After shopping our planter selection several times with this post in mind, I decided it would be fun to highlight some of the unusual planters we carry.  I mean really...how fun would it be to have a collection of terra cotta pots big enough to climb on!

Get The Look - Showcase Your Planters

Photo Inspiration - Art Luna Garden

Art Luna captured the essence of the Southern California Mediterranean style beautifully in this outdoor space.  The restrained use of a few attention grabbing planter designs puts them at center stage in the space.  Art's choice of show-stopper succulents makes it near impossible to ignore the planters.

Design 101 - Restraint when Designing with Planters

Blasen Landscape Architecture

There is a gift to minimal decorating.  Not well planned or balanced, minimal decorating will make a space look barren and under decorated.  When done right however, the few chosen accessories used in a space are like little sparkling jewels.  Given the right circumstances I love clusters of planters but a smattering of well placed planters in an outdoor space really speaks to my organizational tendencies.  Blasen Landscape Architecture has a knack for the well placed singular or pair of planters.

Inspiration Board - Planters

Luxury Planters at Home Infatuation Blog

At their core planters are utilitarian.  However, I'm not one to miss the opportunity to add yet another accessory to an outdoor space and planters give me the opportunity to make a big statement in a space.  From size to color to shape you can pack a powerful visual punch with just the right planter or planter grouping.  To start the week off some planters with real visual impact to inspire you.

Design 101 - Think Outside the Box for Outdoor Entertaining

Style Me Pretty - Gia Canali Photography

Like other designers, event designers are great outside the box thinkers.  I get such a kick out of their creative use of furnishings, objects, landscapes and lighting to create events.  When planning your next outdoor event take a cue from event designers.  Look at your outdoor and indoor furnishings and landscaping through a new lens - the one where anything goes.  Don't just see planters - see gigantic candle holders!  Here is a selection of some of my favorite event designer creative solutions for outdoor entertaining.

Get The Look - Accessorizing

Photo Inspiration Full House

Working with stylists has taught me a valuable lesson and this is to think outside the box when accessorizing a space.  I went off the beaten path for this Get The Look, pulling products from seemingly incompatible categories and drawing on some of Home Infatuation's custom options to pull the look together.
