If you like to entertain, then Labor Day weekend is one of the last chances to celebrate summer with friends and family. This year, go beyond the ordinary picnic. Instead, transform your patio or porch into a haven for outdoor entertaining that shows off your unique tastes with our outdoor décor ideas.
At Green Acres Garden Center in Liverpool, New York, we believe that your outdoor space should be an extension of your home decorating aesthetic so that your patio and porch are places that truly lend themselves to outdoor living.
Here are some Labor Day outdoor décor ideas for your outdoor living spaces that pair Finch Furniture’s easy-to-care-for and easy-to-maintain outdoor furniture with stunning flowers that will leave your guests in awe.
Why Your Labor Day Décor Matters
Labor Day entertainment is for both entertaining and making a statement with your own unique outdoor spaces. You can create an atmosphere that’s inviting and impressive where memories are made and conversations flow. But porch and patio furniture that looks and feels unappealing (we’ve all gotten a pesky splinter from poorly weathered outdoor furniture) can bring down the mood. So, investing in thoughtful décor and comfortable and stylish porch and patio furniture can make sure that your Labor Day celebration is a positive experience for everyone!
Luckily, Finch Furniture is one of the best outdoor furniture options available to those in the New York state area. Finch Furniture’s poly lumber is eco-friendly, durable, and high-quality. Plus, it’s fast and easy to clean and comes in a spectrum of colors so that you can customize your outdoor furniture to your tastes and décor dreams. Green Acres is the largest dealer of Finch Furniture in the United States, and we’re proud to be selling outdoor furniture that you can be proud to own.
So, without further adieu, here are some patio décor ideas that combine the comfort and style of Finch patio furniture with the vibrant beauty of annual flowers to help you capture the essence of refined outdoor living. These ideas are in line with the latest trends in patio furniture, so you can stay on the cusp of outdoor living aesthetics.
Five Outdoor Décor Inspiration Ideas
1. The Entertainer’s Retreat: Sleek Comfort with a Pop of Drama
Imagine hosting a Labor Day soirée where guests can relax in ultimate comfort. The Finch deep seating sectional offers luxurious seating that is perfect for intimate conversations or lively group gatherings. This outdoor seating’s contemporary design and plush cushions invite long evenings under the stars and make it ideal for your outdoor lounge area.
Flower Pairing
Complement the sectional’s modern lines with gorgeous salvia flowers. We love “Black & Bloom” salvia due to its deep indigo blooms on dark stems. These striking flowers will add a touch of drama to your outdoor space while remaining tasteful. Plus, their height adds an architectural element to your outdoor space. Consider adding large gardening planters around your seating area to accentuate the flowers’ height and length.
Why It Works
The sleek comfort of the sectional creates an inviting anchor for your outdoor living room and acts as a great conversation set. Meanwhile the deep, rich hues of the salvia provide an elegant pop of color. The salvia makes a bold statement without overwhelming the space. This pairing ensures your guests feel both pampered and impressed.
2. The Bistro Charm: Intimate Dining that Makes Grand Impressions
The setting is paramount for those who appreciate al fresco dining. The Finch round table with two accompanying Finch dining stools offers a perfect blend of elegance and functionality. This bistro dining set exudes classic charm and is Ideal for a romantic brunch or a relaxed evening cocktail.
Flower Pairing
Pair the above patio furniture with the cheerful, yet refined, beauty of calibrachoa. We love the “Superbells Lemon Slice” flower variety because it offers yellow and white-striped blooms that add a delicate and eye-catching touch to any outdoor space. But we also love the yellow and purple calibrachoas that bring cheer and elegance to any space. Consider putting your calibrachoas in hanging baskets, urns, or trendy pots to make your outdoor space uniquely yours.
Why It Works
The compact elegance of this patio dining set creates a cozy, inviting nook, while the abundance of calibrachoa flowers adds a burst of continuous color and a touch of whimsy, ensuring your intimate gatherings feel grand and special. You’ll enjoy countless moments of quiet luxury in this charming spot.
3. The Tranquil Nook: Serenity and Striking Simplicity
Even in a bustling home, a quiet corner for reflection is a luxury. The Finch Adirondack rocker provides comfort through a timeless aesthetic. It’s perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening book, and its gentle rocking motion encourages relaxation. Plus, the rocker can give your guests a space to take a quick break from your gathering’s excitement or a quiet space to answer a quick text or email.
Flower Pairing
Enhance this serene spot with the cool, white flowers of bacopas. These delicate, trailing annuals produce small flowers that have five petals to each flower. The flowers will spill over the edges of containers to create a soft, lush, and cloud-like effect around the base of your rocker. If you prefer a pop of color, then look for bacopas that come in yellow, red, blue, or purple.
Why It Works
The Adirondack rocker embodies classic comfort, and the clean, crisp white flowers of the bacopa offer a peaceful visual. Together, the rocker and flowers create a tranquil escape that embody the outdoor living trends of simplicity and clean lines.
4. The Conversation Corner: Sophistication in Every Detail
Create a sophisticated outdoor lounge area where conversations flow effortlessly. The Finch swivel glider set features two comfortable gliders and a coordinating side table. These pieces encourage leisurely chats and comfortable relaxation.
Flower Pairing
Surround this elegant set with vibrant, long-lasting blooms from Dragon Wing White begonias. These annuals produce large, brilliant white flowers that stand out against their dark green foliage, and they add a refined splash of color in shaded or partially-shaded areas.
Why It Works
The swivel gliders provide comfort and flexibility, which allow guests to easily engage with each other. Meanwhile, the pure white begonias add a touch of pristine beauty and light, thereby elevating the conversation space. This thoughtful design ensures every gathering feels chic and welcoming and gives guests the perfect outdoor seating option.
5. The Grand Entrance: A Welcoming Statement
Make a lasting first impression with your porch décor that speaks volumes about your style. The Finch porch swing with an A-frame offers a graceful and inviting focal point for your front porch, perfect for greeting guests or enjoying a quiet moment.
Flower Pairing
Frame this classic swing with the stunning presence of potted big leaf hydrangeas. Big leaf hydrangeas are known for their voluminous, long-lasting blooms in shades of blue, pink, purple, or white. They are also some of the best flowering plants for shady areas.
Hydrangeas create an immediate sense of grandeur. So, use large planters filled with hydrangea to flank the swing and add a touch of classic elegance to your outdoor space.
Why It Works
The timeless charm of the porch swing invites a sense of warmth and hospitality, while the commanding beauty of the hydrangeas create an undeniable “wow” factor, thus ensuring your entrance is as grand as your gatherings. This striking display will leave a memorable impression on every visitor.
