“STAYCATION” PROVIDES FUN WITHOUT HAVING TO TRAVEL

Celebrating at Home Offers a Chance to Relax and Reconnect with Family and Friends

The rising cost of traveling and shaky economic times has led to the increasing popularity of people rediscovering their own backyards as a sanctuary or a vacation getaway.

“People are looking inward, realizing that home and family are most important, and are re-discovering outdoor entertaining at home as a way to reconnect with friends and loved ones,” says Mike Voyles of Home Infatuation.

“With a little imagination you can create a theme party for several or an intimate dinner party for two that transports your mind to a tropical beach or to a street café in Paris.”

Voyles also notes that the desire to blur the line between indoor and outdoor living will significantly impact lifestyles. With the shift towards casual entertaining, whether it is an informal buffet, a summertime party outside or a large family gathering, people are looking for one-of-a-kind items that will make guests feel more comfortable in their homes.

And the best part about your “staycation” is that it can last the entire summer. Here are a few ideas on how to create your own “staycation” paradise:

Use tableware to promote your party’s theme.
The casual chic trend is growing in popularity with dinnerware as the focal point. Accessorize and create themes with tableware in different designs, shapes and colors.

Looking for something original and fun for your child’s next birthday party? Perky patterns, luscious bold colors and contemporary shapes will make your table sing. Most outdoor tableware is made of melamine which is durable, lightweight and kid-proof.

What about a beach-themed supper? Tableware with natural earth/water themed designs offers an easy way to create a serene outdoor getaway. Centerpieces can be made with seagrass, starfish and shells. Place sunglasses by each place setting.

Give your guests a starring role with a celebrity-themed soiree. Ask them to come as their favorite celebrity. At each table setting an erasable ceramic theme place card with the celebrity name they choose will be waiting. Make your event memorable with a talent show featuring your guests’ celebrity personas.

Pass the lemon. Outdoor tea parties have always been a popular way to bring together girlfriends and are a wonderful alternative to a traditional shower. Decorate with flowers, candles and tableware and play soft classical music in the background. Personalized placemats and menu tiles -- designed with innovative materials from ceramic to polished stone -- are ideal for these special showers and can dress up a bare table with style. Placecards that offer personal messages are designed to make guests feel welcome or can introduce a three-course meal.

http://www.homeinfatuation.com/cat/Outdoor-Dining.cfm


Dine by candlelight, elegant lamps or party lights.
Lighting offers a romantic touch to an intimate soiree. LED-powered lights and silicone rechargeable candles create a cozy glow of a real-burning flickering candle without the flammability of a traditional flame. For decorating a buffet, flexible tea candles are ideal to illuminate though out your feast. Or create a striking accent by gathering them in a group on a table, varying their heights or arranging greenery around them. Outdoor "paper" lanterns offer subtle lighting and are perfect for all occasions because they lend a festive air to weddings, graduations, and birthday parties.

Create the ultimate dining experience (or) Fire up your outdoor space. Searching for the most practical and fun way to cook outdoors? Today’s grills can change your outdoor lifestyle as they offer a functional, usable space complete with all the amenities. Multifunctional appliances have designer looks -- and can take on the role of dining table, grill, wok and fire pit while bringing families and friends together.

http://www.homeinfatuation.com/cat/Fire-Pit.cfm

Create a secluded spot for two...or read a book. All alone or want to reconnect to your special someone? Create a calm respite in your outdoor space. The chic modern design of an outdoor privacy screen or artificial boxwood hedges is great for creating separate outdoor rooms and blocking the view of your next door neighbors.

http://www.homeinfatuation.com/cat/Shade-Sails-and-Gazebos.cfm

Or place an outdoor tabletop fountain in key areas through out the garden. The sounds will please the soul and attract wildlife. You can also create many "garden rooms" with each one having a dramatic focal point. Settle on a luxurious daybed or chaise lounge and watch your garden transform itself as the sun sets.

“Anyone can pull off a theme party with style,” says Voyles. “From Mexican fiestas to Hawaiian Luaus, bridal showers to intimate suppers, casual outdoor dinnerware is ideal to dress up
your special ‘staycation’.”

Spring Your Patio into Fabulous Mode with a Hip Tilting Awning


There is no better sunshade to provide a chic sophisticated cover to the outdoors than this! The Tilting Awning sets a fashionable statement to any outdoor enclave. The base and cantilevered support arms are constructed of heavy-duty aluminum and have a taupe or graphite color powder coated finish.
The canopy dimensions are 10’ x 15” and it can be tilted up or down to block a low sun angle. Also included is a manually operated draw string that easily pulls the canopy to one side to close. The Canopy comes with either a free-standing base or deck mount base. Home Infatuation offers additional bases and an umbrella cover that may be purchased separately.

Haute Style on the High Seas






Living the yachting life for vacationing, entertaining and leisure has created a growing demand for luxurious furnishings and accessories to compliment the growing high sea lifestyle.
Remarkably, outfitting your private enclave can become an adventure in itself. Outdoor furnishings and accessories not only must match your design style but meet the special challenges of limited space, weather and wet bathing suits that are part of yacht life.
Choices of design styles ranging from modern to traditional to cutting edge are just a few personal caveats that Home Infatuation’s clients have recently requested. Lavish and well-designed furniture collections and boating accessories capture the mood and exude a continuous statement of elegance.
Here are a few “must haves” to adorn your ship that define Haute Style on the High Seas.

Teak Speaks Rich and Refined

Because of its durability and resistance to water and insect damage teak has always been a favorite choice for boating furniture and accessories. Fantastic deck collections range from luxury loungers and chaises to folding deck chairs and matching tables. Sun and weather resistant chair and chaise cushions come in a variety of colors and patterns.
Break-Resistant Dinnerware Reigns

The Melamine dinnerware collection is one of many in Home Infatuation’s selection that was designed for the boating industry and life on the sea. Each piece is created using a ring of non-skid rubber around the bottom of the dinnerware to keep each piece from sliding. Melamine outdoor dinnerware has come a long way since it was first introduced in the 1930’s. It’s just as durable as ever – it’s hard to chip, crack or break and its dishwasher and microwave safe. Melamine collections are available in sets of four, six or eight place settings.

Enjoy the Sun beneath a Shade Sail

Sun blocking shade sails are very important to think about when you are furnishing your boat deck. While we all enjoy lying in the sun without using a shade sail or some other form of sun block you can quickly damage your skin. Not only are shade sails good for shading the sun, the modern design also adds to your outdoor decor. They can be easily tied and suspended overhead for shading both small and large groups of people. The knitted polyethylene fabric blocks the sun and 90% of the UV rays but allows cooling breezes to pass through. The very durable fabric is completely weatherproof and will never fade, rot, mildew or mold. The Shade Sail is available in Brunswick Green and Desert Sand colors and two triangle sizes, 16'5" and 11'10" or in an 11'10'' and 17'9’’ square design.

Woven Area Rugs Give a Chic Finished Look

Decorative Woven Outdoor Rugs can enhance your deck space by adding a splash of color and creating a more inviting area with the contrast between the softness of the rug and a hard surface. Aside from the design benefits, woven rugs also provide many functional aspects. They will create traction in high slip areas, absorb loud noises, and they certainly are more comfortable to walk on barefoot. They are very resistant to color fading from the sun, oblivious to the rain and surf and can be easily cleaned with a brush and hose which makes them an ideal choice for life on the sea.

Stay Bright with Rechargeable Outdoor Candles

Rechargeable outdoor candles have gained their instant popularity by offering an attractive, long lasting outdoor light that is uncomplicated and hassle-free. Rechargeable outdoor candles will give a realistic and refined glow to an interior or exterior of a boat. Each candle is made of silicone and contains an LED light bulb with a built-in micro chip that replicates a natural flickering candle light. Enjoy entertaining or a quiet night for two with a simple and elegant candle that will stay bright for hours.

Bright Ideas: Outdoor Lighting Redefines the Outdoor Space


Outdoor lighting, from sophisticated lamps to outdoor candles to the humble tiki torch, offers the same quality as indoor lighting and has become a key accessory when decorating an outdoor space.

Avant-garde or elegant, new lighting designs bring interior styling to the outdoors with versatile, luxurious and design-inspired looks. Lighting can transform an outdoor space by creating a “wow” factor, from illuminating the water in a pool or pond with submersible lights, to silhouetting a tree to lighting up a gazebo.
Materials ranging from silicone to weather-resistant polymer resin characterize today’s outdoor lighting and make a statement in any outdoor space:
• Affordable and multi-functional, hi-tech candles are heating up outdoor rooms. LED-powered lights now offer a built-in microchip that creates a cozy glow of a real-burning flickering candle without the flammability of a traditional flame. Create a sexy centerpiece or a striking accent by gathering them in a group on a table, varying their heights or arranging greenery around them.
•Rechargeable weather-resistant candles are easy at parties and on the electric bill. Made of silicone but giving the appearance of real wax, they provide a warm ambient flickering light just like candles but have no flame, no smoke, and no wax and are safe to use.
•Artistically exquisite lamps that fit into foyers and flank living room sofas are now designed for the outdoors, creating an old world feel and offering charm and elegance. Constructed with brass, hand-painted porcelain, patina metals, art-glaze ceramic and genuine wood complemented by exotic fabrics and trim, these table and floor lamps look like a work of art. The all-weather styles are eclectic, ranging from the elegant to whimsical.
•Torches add a dramatic effect, creating festive ambience around the deck, patio or pool. Oil torches are ideal to highlight driveways, sidewalks or even plants in your landscaping. Cordless outdoor patio lights provide mood lighting, are energy efficient and add festive color to your party.
•Want to light up your imagination and keep the party going past sundown? Beautifully designed woven wicker patterns made of the highest quality weather resistant polymer resin add festive charm to an outdoor space and are a great conversation-starter at special events.
•Modernistic outdoor lighting adds drama to outdoor spaces. Beautifully designed multi-purpose fixtures are transforming outdoor living areas and providing energy-efficient, captivating, glare-free light ideal for outdoor entertaining, special occasions, or everyday elegance. Versatile lighting system offers several different shapes, sizes and colors, and adapts to any landscape. Rechargeable cordless, long cord with a plug, or hard-wired styles can float in a pond, mount to your deck or patio, hang in trees or under eaves or be placed throughout your front yard.

Bring your Outdoor Room to Life With a Few Essential Accessories





Bringing your outdoor room to life has never been so creative...and so challenging.

Think of your space as an extension of your indoor living area. With an infinite palette of stylish and performance-driven designs, you can create a coordinated look that is welcoming, functional, and even luxurious.

Your first impulse is to buy your “nuts and bolts” pieces, such as sofas, chaise lounges and dining tables. Yet have you thought strategically about the space you are filling? If not, your new outdoor room will offer a few scattered items that reflect clutter instead of the inviting paradise you imagined.

Translate Your Needs Into a Functional Space

Designing a coordinated look takes a little research about what options are out there. Think about the space you are filling by breaking the room into its parts. Is it a place for entertaining or quiet contemplation? Do you want to create separate rooms or a small intimate space that coordinates with your interior? How do you define a space that is different from the rest of your backyard?

Use your imagination and translate your creativity into reality with a few well chosen accessories. We call them “essential accessories” because without them it is very difficult to tie everything together into a coordinated, lifestyle-driven space.

Outdoor Area Rugs or Floor Tiles

There is probably no one single accessory that defines a focal point in your outdoor room than an area rug. Just like your interior space, you can create several mini-rooms on a large patio with different color schemes by using multiple area rugs.

Another creative option is snap-together outdoor wood tiles. Complete with mitered corners and beveled edges, they are designed to create a look of a hardwood floor. They are ideal for visually expanding the floor area when used over an entire deck, balcony or roof top garden.

Throw Pillows

No interior or outdoor room is complete without throw pillows. The patterns and color choices have greatly expanded, enabling you to brighten up or change the look of a chair, sofa or chaise. The use and longevity of treated acrylic fibers has opened the door to a variety of palettes and textures.

Outdoor pillows can handle the wear and tear of outdoor living and are increasingly durable. The fabrics are very resistant to sun fading and they have an inside stuffing or foam that will not attract mold or mildew. For added flexibility, many pillows now come with zippers so the covers can be easily taken off and machine washed

Outdoor Lighting

A wide range of weather-resistant outdoor lighting, from oil torches to rechargeable candles, is now available. New to the mix are table and floor lamp styles with plush fabric shades, ornate glazed bodies and granite bases that will add a an elegant touch to any outdoor room.

When you begin to assemble your outdoor room, remember that selecting the furniture is just the first step. Adding a few well chosen essential accessories will give you a much better chance of ending up with the outdoor lifestyle you imagined.

Outdoor Area Rugs -


What to consider when buying an outdoor area rug…Size, shape, color, woven, plastic, plain or patterned, luxury or cheap disposable are all questions you should ask yourself before deciding which outdoor area rug to purchase.

Size and Shape

Measure the dimensions where you will place the area rug with all of the furniture in position. Consider how close the edges will be to all of the furniture legs as well as the traffic pattern where the rug will go. An area rug that is placed too close to furniture can make even an outdoor room appear small and cramped.

If the rug is being placed in a heavy traffic area you will need to consider the durability of the rugs material and how well it will stay in position. Keep in mind that when having an outdoor kitchen or a grill, leave enough buffer space between the rug and the cooking area to prevent the area rug from being repeatedly soiled from food preparation and cooking. An oval or round area rug that is approximately the same size as a rectangular or square rug will appear to be smaller and may be a better overall enhancement for the space. The round edges will help to soften the appearance of the entire outdoor room.

Color and Pattern

Choosing an attractive color and pattern for your outdoor area rug is just as important as matching the color schemes of an indoor room. If the outdoor furniture is already in place or you are purchasing the furniture at the same time as your rug, you will want to coordinate the colors of the furniture cushions along with the outdoor throw pillows and lamp shades on any outdoor lighting you may purchase. Also consider the amount of foot and pet traffic the area rug may receive and what color and pattern will work best at camouflaging any soiling.

Woven or Plastic?

Outdoor area rugs are manufactured in a wide and varied range of materials. Plastic is typically not the first material that comes to mind when you are considering an indoor rug but for many situations plastic is the perfect choice for any outdoor area rug. New manufacturing methods have made plastic area rugs soft and subtle to the touch even when walking on them barefoot. The diversity and intensity of the colors in an outdoor area rug will give the space a “pop” and set your outdoor space apart from the norm.Woven or power loomed rugs can produce a flat weave area rug for a cabana beach house look or one with a low to medium pile will give a softer more elegant appearance.

Luxurious or Cheap Disposable?

There will always be an association between how much or how little you pay and the quality of the outdoor area rug you take home. But in some instances an inexpensive rug may be the smarter choice because of the situation in which it will be placed. If you need to have an area rug around an outdoor kitchen or hot tub or a heavy traffic area that will frequently be trampled on by dirty shoes, it is probably better to go with a less expensive area rug and replace it more often. Spend the most of your budget on the area rug that will be the focal point and centerpiece of your outdoor room.

Care and Maintenance

Most all outdoor woven or fabricated area rugs are manufactured with some type of manmade fibers. They are extremely durable, very stain resistant, and can easily be spot cleaned or cleaned with a brush and hose. After a heavy shower you may need to turn back the edges to speed up the drying process, but that’s about all the care they will generally need. Consider these suggestions before you buy your outdoor area rug, and you will have a much greater chance of satisfaction with your purchase.

Home Infatuation offers many options of outdoor area rugs in choices of color, patters, size and shape. You may find this and other fantastic outdoor living products when visiting www.homeinfatuation.com.
