3. When all else fails, pick one pattern

It can sometimes seem difficult to connect various styles of furniture and material for one cohesive look. However, selecting one pattern for all of your outdoor furniture can instantly bring all elements together regardless of how different they are. Whether it’s throw pillows or seat cushions, stay consistent with one pattern. On the other hand, if all of your outdoor furniture is made of the same material, you may want to switch the designs instead of using identical ones to add some well-needed variety. In this case, to tie all your outdoor elements together, try using an overall color theme.
