The short answer, ABSOLUTELY! From my designer view in Seattle, color on your patio and outdoor space adds a feeling, mood, vibe that tells your family and friends about you. So express yourself. Never before has such an opportunity been available between fabrics, furniture and accessories. Take advantage and step away from cookie cutter outdoor furniture sets and cushions. Be brave and show your color sensibility.

This new collection from Gloster Furniture is a perfect starting point using chairs, 2 or more colors, for a color statement around your table. Plus they stack and save space in a space challenged area.

Outdoor fabric collections via talented designers such as Trina Turk are a perfect opportunity to add pizazz with color and pattern

Are you ready to add your personality to your patio or outdoor space? Contact Faith Sheridan Design Group to get started on a patio that expresses your personality. We offer a complimentary 30 minute Skype call to get started.

I’m so excited to see warmer weather and sunny skies. As a Seattle interior designer who enjoys Al Fresco dining and entertaining on my patio, I have ideas for outdoor furniture to complement outdoor activities.

• Consider Function | If you love a backyard bash on the weekends, think about a sectional with weather-resistant cushions to accomodate a crowd. Remember, furniture arrangements influence interaction. Group cushioned chairs with a low table and you’ll see friends linger over drinks and conversation. Think rust-resistant furniture and cushions covered in water-repellant fabric.

Bloc Collection - Gloster Furniture

• Be Casual with Wicker | Wicker provides a casual feel. Opt for synthetic wicker (a metal frame wrapped in a vinyl or resin material).

• Select Space Savvy Options | Dine, entertain, and relax even in spatially challenged area. Think bistro table for a balcony, stackable chairs that tuck away when not in use. Design an arrangement of a table with casual chairs that invites friends to linger in your outdoor space.

Get ready for outdoor entertaining this summer. Call Faith Sheridan Design Group 206.973.3743 or email to set up a phone consultation. We offer a complimentary 30 minute Skype conversation.

It’s a perfect time to begin to plan your outdoor space in Bellevue or Seattle for summer relaxing. To tease you, I have a before and after created for a Bellevue interior design client. Here’s their description, “In the Somerset neighborhood of south Bellevue, we wanted to maximize the spa feeling our home afforded. Built in 1964, the home has an indoor sauna installed by the original owners. When we bought it in 2003, we added a hot tub under the deck just outside the sauna. And we self-designed the hot tub area. The result is a covered, well lit, easy-to-access and easy-to-maintain spa area that extends from sauna to hot tub and gets frequent use by the homeowners. However, the spa area seems sterile and lacks a feeling of inviting warmth and true privacy.”

They heard about the possibilities of using a Design Visualization service and turned to Faith Sheridan, of Faith Sheridan Design Group to find out more. My team includes 3D For All, a Seattle based design visualization company headed by Mary Curley, an accredited Interior Designer herself. I partner regularly with Mary Curley to provide Design Visualization services to homeowners around the country. Faith chose to use Gloster Furniture and materials because of their design leadership and high quality products. What do you think of this result?

This Seattle interior designer is fortunate to be featured in an article by HomeSavvi, “Visualize design BEFORE you spend”. What’s excellent about the article is the demonstration using ‘before and after’ images for a real client seeking to update an outdoor space.

In all my projects, my team includes 3D For All, a Seattle based company launched by Mary Curley. Learn about Mary here.

Working together with Mary and the clients, I was able to use images from Gloster Furniture to accurately ‘imagine‘ the outcome of the design concept I proposed.

As I begin work with clients, I offer a design fee of tiered services and two of the three tiers include design visualization. My clients gain confidence about their project and the outcome they desire when the design comes to life in advance of construction.

Imagine seeing your new room before you spend a penny. Remove the stress of design decisions in advance and avoid costly mistakes. Contact Faith Sheridan Design Group for your indoor or outdoor project and experience confidence in the outcome.
