10% Outdoor Solar Roller Shades in Chocolate<\/p><\/div>\n

As temperatures rise, our focus shifts from inside to outside. Why not take advantage of summertime when the living is easy? Outdoor shades<\/a> can make your backyard or balcony as comfortable and inviting as your living room. Take the party outside with some advice on how to pair seasonal trends with outdoor shades.<\/p>\n

THE TREND: Indoor-Outdoor Living
\nWHAT TO CONSIDER: UV protection<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Block 99% of harmful UV rays<\/p><\/div>\n

Blurring the line between the indoors and outdoors<\/a>\u00a0means you just made your living space a whole lot bigger. The rusty patio pieces deemed good enough in the past have given way to comfortable, functional and beautiful sets that deserve to be protected. When you eliminate the barrier between indoor and outdoor spaces, consider safeguarding your investment. Outdoor shades that block harmful UV rays aren\u2019t only protecting your skin, they\u2019re also shielding your patio furniture and other furnishings. Keep your outdoor patio set vibrant for years to come with with shades that filter out the sun damage and fading which can result from UV exposure.<\/p>\n

SUN FACT <\/strong>There are three types of UV rays<\/a>: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Both UVA and UVB can be harmful to skin.<\/p>\n

THE TREND: Minimalist Outdoor Design
\nWHAT TO CONSIDER: Functionality<\/h2>\n

A minimalist look is a great fit with the outdoors. To follow this trend, every piece you choose needs to serve a purpose. When looking for outdoor shades for a minimalist space, think about the design that best serves your goal. Do you want something that can withstand the weather year-round or will you store shades in the off-season? How big of an area do you want to protect? Are you willing to go manual or do you prefer a motorized model that can cover your outdoor gathering with the touch of a button? Take all of this and more into consideration and then pick the perfect set of outdoor shades that fit your needs.<\/p>\n

THE TREND: Greige
\nWHAT TO CONSIDER: Blending in<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Diffuse light and reduce glare<\/p><\/div>\n

What do you get when you combine grey and beige? Greige! It\u2019s the ultimate neutral hue and on\u00a0trend this summer<\/a>. Look for the outdoor shades and accessories that flow seamlessly into the nature of your backyard. Sticking with earth tones means nothing will interrupt the serene landscape as you enjoy your natural surroundings.<\/p>\n

THE TREND: Combining Materials
\nWHAT TO CONSIDER: Fabric assets<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

5% Outdoor Shades in Ecru<\/p><\/div>\n

Combining materials in your outdoor space\u00a0is all about embracing what speaks to you. Mix things up when it comes to fabrics, textures and styles. Canvas chairs can complement a wood table. Why not a wicker lounge with concrete planters? When it comes to outdoor shades, pick the material that works for you. Tightly-woven fabrics offer UV and rain protection, while mesh can block sun and still accommodate air flow. A lower openness factor (1% instead of 14%, for example), will give you some more privacy, but a higher openness will give you a better view of the backyard. Make your own rules and design the patio that works for you.<\/p>\n

However you choose to enjoy your al fresco space, there\u2019s no denying the pure pleasure of summer living. With so many outdoor shades to choose from, it\u2019s easy to create an oasis. Cheers to patio season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
