How to Style the Lakeside Collection

Curious about how to style the Lakeside Collection in your outdoor space? We’ve gathered styling advice, product details, and creative ideas from our customers—explore our suggestions to find your inspiration!

Take a closer look at the collection’s distinguishing features.

Calm neutral tones predominantly define the collection’s lumber colors, with a few exceptions, and most selections are available in our POLYWOOD Heritage™ and POLYWOOD Vintage™ finishes.

Level up your look through pillows, umbrellas, and other comfort enhancements.

Since opposites attract, a bright, bold fabric plays well with Lakeside’s tranquil lumber tones. A turquoise umbrella crowning a cool grey bar set? Yes, please!

Mix varied materials to add tactile depth to a space. Think woven rugs atop smooth decking or soft seat cushions tied to sturdy dining chairs.

Fun fabrics break up the monotony. For example, if your seating area has an earthy color scheme, add personality and focal points with bold geometric-patterned pillows.

Browse our design ideas and favorite customer looks tailored to outdoor areas of all sizes.

A cozy corner: Claim your own little piece of patio paradise with a Lakeside Deep Seating Chair and Deep Seating Ottoman. To make the room appear bigger, we suggest creating contrast using furniture with light-colored cushions and dark frames. Add bold, dark tones through patterned pillows and statement decor for a balanced, striking look.

Rectangle dining sets: This table shape is a good fit for mid-size spaces, offering enough room to come together comfortably without making the area feel cramped. Plus, you can line the longer sides with benches to create more seats and push the table flush against the wall when you want room for after-meal activities.

Swings: To create a striking focal point, hang a teak-toned Lakeside swing on your medium-sized covered patio. Dress it up with yellow touches from wooden lanterns, flowers, and wicker baskets. Complete the look with warm beige throw pillows and woven blankets.

Multi-zone layout: Since you have all this room to work with, we suggest creating distinct zones for dining and lounging. Our Lakeside Collection is up to the challenge, offering furniture that fits both spaces.

If you want diners and chefs to co-exist in your outdoor kitchen, Lakeside Counter Chairs are your best option. Standing at the perfect height for countertops, guests can pull seats right up to the ledge and sit comfortably while you cook up a storm.

Have plenty of room around your pool? Designate a space for post-swim snacks and moonlit lounging with any dining set from the Lakeside Collection in a cool grey hue. Pop open a patio umbrella for added style and shade, and select seat cushions in sandy tan and seafoam green to complement the pool and patio furniture.

Use a white Lakeside 48” Bench to contrast with the vivid greenery in your growing garden. Complement the seat with striped throw pillows and woven blankets in light tan and white shades for a cohesive, stylish touch amidst your landscaping.

If your porch spans the front of your home—meaning it's long and narrow—match its energy with Lakeside designs in similar shapes. Long benches, swings, and rectangular coffee tables allow you to use your space wisely while still creating settings for quality time together.

Comfy and cozy, yet boasting ample space for dinner and drinks, three-piece dining sets are ideal for lofty little balconies.

Complementing dining and lounge furniture enhances the natural beauty of a grey stone patio. A Vintage Coffee Lakeside 7-Piece Farmhouse Dining Set and Vintage White Modern Adirondack Chairs echo the hardscape's cool tones, while their wire-brushed finishes add texture and visual appeal.

Set the stage for sunset viewing with deep seating chairs you can sink into after a long day. Honor the sun’s hues with warm-toned woven rugs and pouf ottomans, and display through pillows featuring solar-inspired prints.

If you have a house on the water, make the Lakeside Collection live up to its name by placing deep seating chairs on your pier. Lean into deep blues and greens to match the colors of the lake and surrounding landscapes, with striped fabric for a marine-inspired vibe. Worried about water damage? No need! Our furniture and quick-dry cushions aren’t phased by splashing waves, damp swimsuits, and rainy days.

Complement your covered porch’s white and wood theme with hints of grey and green. A bright deep seating set with soft grey cushions with a few planters filled with vibrant flowers creates a simple yet inviting aesthetic you’ll want to lounge on daily.
