What to look for in outdoor decor
Textural finishes connect exterior spaces with the natural materials used indoors, but each item's outdoor rating and drainage requirements should be checked before exposed placement.
Materials and craftsmanship
Materials include rope, stone, aluminium, abaca and woven. Cast detailing adds further texture and individuality. Varied surfaces and crafted techniques give the outdoor decor range richness and tactile depth. Check the individual exposure rating and care guidance before placing a piece in covered, coastal or fully exposed conditions.
Scale, placement and everyday use
Use fewer, larger pieces outdoors so they remain legible at a distance. Confirm that each item is recommended for the planned exposure, provide drainage where needed and avoid placing lightweight objects in windy positions.
Frequently asked questions
Can indoor décor be used outside?
Only when the product specification allows it. Indoor finishes can deteriorate quickly in sun, rain and humidity, so choose pieces intended for the relevant outdoor conditions.
