Are you thinking about throwing a backyard outdoor wedding? We’re all for that! The design team at RST Brands put together this handy and comprehensive guide to ensure you’ve got support every step of the way. Because let’s be honest, planning and hosting a wedding can get pretty stressful!

Winter’s a-comin’. And before you reach for that peppermint latte or queue up The Holiday, don’t forget: You have housekeeping to do. As the owner of that nice new outdoor furniture set, you’re going to need to get it ready for winter.

Sometimes being a bona fide adult ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, right?

Are you the type who is pumped out of your mind when the winter weather forecast predicts a fresh foot of snow? Or would you rather hole up in bed for the entirety of the season?

Breaking news: when winter rolls around, it’s time to abandon the glow of your smartphone screen and enjoy the glow of the firelight. Yes, we said it. You’ve spent far too much time lounging in bed with the doom scroll, but there are better things out there for you . . .

As summer comes to an end, it is a superb time to spend more time outdoors enjoying the cool calm of fall. End-of-summer decorating ideas can help you enjoy every last bit of summer but also nudge you into autumn. And you can use these fall decorating tips inside or out!

Halloween is that one holiday where we can all let our inner child out for one night of spookiness, silliness, and total sugar overload. What’s not to love?

Trends come and go. While we’re certainly glad to say goodbye to some of them (we’re looking at you, skinny jeans!), we hope others are here for the long haul.

Nothing says adulthood like dropping some spare cash on a stylish modern outdoor sectional. You’ve got money to burn and a backyard that needs furnishing—life is good! But shopping for an outdoor patio sectional isn’t always totally straightforward.

Having a spacious backyard may be many homeowners’ claim to fame...

Having a fire table in the backyard is now a staple of any ‘gram-worthy outdoor space. Ahhh, just imagine you and your crew cozying up for drinks by the light of its warm glow.

You always envisioned your outdoor patio as the sanctuary of your home—the place to unwind with a cocktail or get lost in a great beach read. (Who needs sand and surf, anyway?) Yet, here you are with a rather dull-looking patio that’s begging for a facelift.

Are you nearing the end of your summer high? Have the back-to-school-blues got you down?

You dream of the day you have a sprawling country garden for hosting fabulous cocktail parties. But until that day? A small balcony is what you’re working with. And hey! We can totally work with that.

When you’re tired of staring at that worn, dusty slab of wood known as your deck, it’s probably time to brainstorm some new outdoor deck bar ideas.

Buying outdoor patio furniture is a true stamp of adulthood. You’re no longer one of those college vagabonds, moving apartments every other semester. You’re no longer that scavenger taking freebies from more established working professionals.

You’re ready to invest in patio furniture, meaning you probably want a set that lasts for more than a season or two. This isn’t some throwback fashion trend from the 90s, after all. (Scrunchies and biker shorts, we love you, but we don’t think we’ll still be sporting you a decade from now.)

When you first moved into your house you may have envisioned fabulous backyard barbecues with friends, summer nights hanging out by the fire table, and cool mornings soaking up the garden view. But if you’re like many people, your dreams may have, er, fallen a little short.

When the weather warms up and the flowers bloom, a garden party is a natural way to ring in the season. But if you’re not exactly a pro gardener, you can still get the magical vibe of a garden party without spending years tending to your rose bushes and wisteria trellis.

Do you remember how every time you went to your grandma’s, a massive collection of seasonal decor was overtaking the house and yard? Christmas, 4th of July, and every holiday in between—sorry, while it works for grandma, it’s not really our thing.
