Neoteric Luxury’s Organic Style for Outdoor Furniture
Design Trends Spotted at HD Boutique 2010: Organic luxury and style was clearly apparent at the Neoteric Luxury booth. The outdoor collection sported a neutral, earthy color palette punctuated with strong red and orange accent colors, and interesting organic textures.
The organic shape of this orb swing calls to mind an elegantly designed bird’s nest that offers the promise of a nurturing embrace.
Neoteric Luxury dispels all arguments that eco/organic styled furniture has to be ugly with this outdoor seating arrangement- which is equally as beautiful as it is fabulously creative. The floor lamp comes complete with a rock base (real rock!)
What’s New: Outdoor Seating from Jardin de Ville
BG¹ Silver Outdoor Chair in silver and blue. (My favorite from the new Jardin de Ville collection)
Big Enuf chair with coordinating ottoman.
Big Enuf lounge – looks so roomy, comfy and makes me think summer will last year round.

OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM
Outdoor living design expert Marcia Blake commented that the prevailing trend for outdoor living:
… for the past few years has been and continues to be a move from the inside out. People are integrating outdoor living into their daily lives and are creating finished outdoor living rooms. This time spent outdoors has contributed to the increase in outdoor grilling and cooking, thus the creation of an outdoor kitchen with all of the bells and whistles found in interior gourmet kitchens are now present outside. Pizza ovens, ice makers, grilling stations, Viking appliances and wine refrigerators are part of this new trend. (Interview with Marcia Blake of Outdoor Interiors Inc and designer of Outdoor Couture by Marcia Blake)
We see that trend continuing strongly into 2010 and beyond. The popularity of “Staycations”, which were initially driven by economic forces, has led to the desire to expand the interior home sanctuary beyond the backdoor and homeowners are now designing and creating lush, relaxing, resort-like exteriors furnished with high-end outdoor all weather furniture, high performance outdoor flat screen televisions, fashionable accessories and rugs, pro-level outdoor kitchens, and outdoor lighting- all of which rivals indoor furnishings for beauty and functionality.
