Outdoor furniture is for outdoor living. That is to say, patio seating doesn't simply need to perform, but has to curate an environment for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the sunlight. Sally Field's back porch offers insight into exactly how to create this serene energy with outdoor furniture.
Her method is simple. A recent Instagram post from the actress shows a back porch at the Pacific Palisades home she's lived in since 2002. It's lined with wooden furniture upholstered in beige fabric and accessorized with blue outdoor pillows (I love these ruffled ones from Anthropologie for a more stylized take on the look). The combination creates a tranquil environment that feels elegant, yet it is easy to relax. Her furnishings are the perfect complement to large glass back doors for a stylish contrast.
