Minimal Al Fresco: Five Subtle Products for Outdoor Living

The latest outdoor decor puts the focus back on nature.

With the arrival of spring comes the desire to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, fresh air, and all that is in bloom. The latest outdoor decor embraces this concept by putting the focus on the surrounding landscape, rather than the furnishings themselves. Clean lines, subtle colors, and muted designs allow the scenery to take center stage. Be it a lamp that adds a subtle glow to a Memorial Day celebration that lasts late into the night, or a sofa that allows one to stretch out while reading (or napping) on a glorious sunny afternoon, the new products shown here serve as a reminder that, try as we might, no object can rival the beauty of Mother Nature.
