Even if you wouldn't buy a coordinated furniture set for the rest of your house, there's something about the outdoors that lends itself to simple, one-and-done furniture solutions. However, as this 'fast fashion' approach to interiors falls out of favor, the outdoor space is changing as well. Images of Rod Stewart's backyard from the '70s show just how chic the alternative can be.
The singer's backyard was full of stunning wrought iron furniture, wicker pieces, and an antique stone fountain. A photoshoot from 1973 at his Berkshire, UK home shows Rod lounging across various stunning vignettes. His wrought iron pieces are painted white, and his wicker rocking chair is refreshingly bare. The fountain adds some height. All of these pieces are nestled amidst hanging planters and bushes chosen for maximum privacy.
