How To Style A Chic Living Space Now The Cooler Months Are Coming

Crate&Barrel’s Live Well Outdoors Collection has your stylish home-entertaining needs covered…

It’s been a long, hot summer, and cooler climes are eagerly awaited, so it’s never too soon to start preparing your living space for an exciting influx of social engagements. Crate&Barrel’s Live Well Outdoors campaign provides the perfect inspiration, offering a stylish collection of modern pieces that will transform your outdoor spaces into elegant areas to eat, drink and be merry.

The collection is infused with industry expertise, with celebrity chef Eric Adjepong—renowned for his signature blend of New York flair and his West African roots—providing his stylish take on coloured glassware; the perfect accent to outdoor dining. The daring glassware designs are complemented by an array of utensils, serveware, cookware and accessories that will enable you to create the perfect tablescape every time.

Hero pieces within the collection include the Grotta designs, which will add a touch of coastal chic, while the Mallorca series will inject bold, geometric style into a pared back private garden. When it comes to curating a stylish outside space, it helps to approach its styling as you would any room—try to choose hero pieces, such as the Simeon outdoor wicker lounge chair, and complement them with eclectic textures and colour palettes, accessorizing with luxe accents such as Crate&Barrel’s plush Sunbrella cushions. The size of the space needn’t matter—you can apply the same approach to a large landscaped garden or an inner-city balcony— simply choose pieces such as planters, coffee tables and outdoor sofas to the appropriate scale.

Crate&Barrel’s most popular and classic designs—Paso, Simeon, and Andorra— are the keystone of the collection, offering the ultimate versatility, whether you’re a minimalist or maximalist at heart. The Paso Adirondack chair, crafted from weathering teak, is unquestionably elegant, while the Andorra extendable dining table is the perfect solution for large family gatherings and al-fresco dinners.

The eco-conscious can also indulge—Crate&Barrel’s Mallorca and Andorra series both use  FSC®-certified wood, responsibly sourced from eucalyptus and mahogany trees. The pieces are also Greenguard Gold Certified, which ensures cleaner air, and textiles meet Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, providing reassurance that they are free from harmful substances.

Unsure where to start with curating your space? Turn to Crate&Barrel’s Design Desk, a complimentary design service that offers expert advice, space planning and 3D technology to plan your outdoor living area to perfection.
