Earth Tones Most Popular Choice In 2009

There is a huge move toward outdoor entertaining which began in 2008 that is continuing to increase in the 2009 season. The increase in popularity of entertaining at your home is due to the decline in the economy. It is less expensive to furnish your back yard or pool area than to travel to multiple destinations for entertainment. In the end you have accomplished something tangible that you could not have with travel. In a sense you create your own resort area where you can entertain and create memories to last a lifetime.

It seems that earth tone shades are dominating the color scheme for outdoor furniture, fountains, water features and landscape themes this season. Neutral shades such as gray, brown or beige will compliment or flatter almost any color scheme. Colors such as gray, brown and beige also age well and pretty much never go out of style. They are more traditional and have a classic style appeal.

Many consumers are looking for pieces to add to their garden that will last a lifetime. Cast stone, concrete and iron furniture or fountains hold up the best over time in an outdoor setting. It is ideal to choose a neutral color such as beige and then add less expensive accents to change the scheme over the years. For instance if you select a gray fountain and then add gray furniture near the fountain you could add outdoor pillows, lamps or umbrellas of a different color to brighten your theme.
