Spring Is Coming: How to Refresh and Elevate Your Outdoor Spaces
As the days get longer and the temperatures start to rise, our homes naturally open up to the outdoors. Patios, porches, decks, and sunrooms become extensions of how we live—spaces for morning coffee, family dinners, entertaining, and quiet moments at the end of the day. Spring is the perfect time to refresh these areas and make sure they’re as comfortable, functional, and beautiful as the rest of your home.
At RMD, we think about outdoor spaces the same way we think about interiors: through comfort, performance, and thoughtful design.
Start With Light and Shade Control
One of the biggest challenges in outdoor spaces is managing sun, glare, and heat—without losing the connection to the outdoors.
Outdoor roller shades are one of the most effective solutions. They help:
Reduce heat and glare during peak sun hours
Protect furniture and finishes from UV damage
Add privacy without fully enclosing the space
Create flexibility—open when you want the breeze, closed when you need shade
Motorized options make it effortless, allowing you to adjust your space with the push of a button or integrate shading into your daily routine.
Refresh Seating With New Cushion Inserts and Performance Fabrics
If your outdoor cushions feel flat, faded, or uncomfortable, spring is the ideal time to address it. Often, you don’t need to replace furniture—just upgrade what sits on it.
New cushions restore comfort and structure, while performance fabrics are designed specifically for outdoor living:
Resistant to moisture, mildew, and fading
Durable enough for everyday use
Soft and inviting, without sacrificing performance
This is one of the fastest ways to make an outdoor space feel brand new—and far more enjoyable to actually use.
Add Softness and Style With Outdoor Draperies
Outdoor drapery brings an unexpected layer of softness and polish to patios, pergolas, and covered porches. Beyond aesthetics, they serve a purpose:
Filter light while maintaining airflow
Add privacy and define seating or dining zones
Create a relaxed, resort-like feel at home
Designed with outdoor-rated materials and hardware, these treatments are built to withstand the elements while elevating the overall design.
Design With How You Live in Mind
Refreshing an outdoor space isn’t about adding everything—it’s about adding the right things. We look at:
How the space is used throughout the day
Sun exposure and seasonal changes
Existing furniture and architectural features
Maintenance expectations and longevity
The result is an outdoor environment that works hard behind the scenes while feeling effortless to enjoy.
Plan Now, Enjoy All Season
Spring is when outdoor projects start to fill calendars. Planning early ensures your space is ready when you want to use it most—whether that’s hosting, relaxing, or simply opening the doors and letting the outside in.
If your outdoor space could use better shade, more comfort, or a fresh design perspective, we’d love to help you reimagine what’s possible this season.
