A Little Lime

{ A little extra color like pink makes it feel less Starck}

{If you don't have a garden, potted plants are another great way to add life to a patio}

{Only $599 for all four pieces at Cost Plus. The mosaic on the table adds some sparkle}

It is the perfect time of year to utilize all of the outdoor space you can find, especially if you live in the city. If you have patio that hasn't been used for much other than storage, now is a great time to give it a quick overhaul. It doesn't have to be expensive to add another great living space to your home. I like the clean look of black and green, similar to the pool at Viceroy Palm Springs. A green rug or astro turf for the floor, simple lines and comfy cushions will turn any rooftop patio into a retreat. Cost Plus has tons of options inculding the set above. Keep your main peices simple in order to switch things up every few years. Use smaller items to add the color, like throw pillows and rugs.
