The Art of Outdoor Living: Layering for Summer

In this episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan and Krissa explore the art of outdoor living and why layering matters just as much outside as it does indoors. From creating a strong foundation with furniture and textiles to adding comfort through performance fabrics, lighting, scent, and landscaping, this conversation dives into how thoughtful outdoor spaces can become true extensions of the home. The episode also explores entertaining outdoors, designing around pools and lake living, and creating environments that feel welcoming, relaxed, and beautifully collected all summer long. Street Style Takeaways: • Outdoor spaces feel most inviting when they are layered with texture, color, lighting, and comfort just like interiors. • Performance materials have transformed outdoor living, allowing spaces to feel luxurious while still being durable and functional. • Landscaping should be treated as part of the design plan, not an afterthought. Repetition, scale, and containers create cohesion outdoors. • Outdoor entertaining is about creating experiences through tabletop details, lighting, sound, and gathering spaces. • Summer spaces should encourage people to slow down, connect, and enjoy the beauty of seasonal living.

What if your home could feel like a permanent vacation? In this episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan Blum and Krissa Rossbund explore the essence of tropical living and how it translates into timeless, elevated interiors. This is not about themed spaces or clichés. It is about capturing a feeling. Airy, layered, relaxed, and deeply connected to nature. From destination inspired influences like the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Southeast Asia, to the foundational elements of materials, color, and furniture, this conversation breaks down what truly defines tropical design today. They discuss how natural materials like rattan, teak, linen, and seagrass create depth while maintaining lightness, how color palettes rooted in sand, palm, and sea bring a sense of calm energy, and why indoor outdoor living is essential to the lifestyle. The episode also explores how to bring the outdoors in through botanical motifs, woven textures, and collected details, while engaging all the senses from scent to sound. This is tropical design redefined. Sophisticated, livable, and rooted in ease. Street Style Takeaways: • Tropical design is about a feeling, not a theme It should feel effortless, layered, and connected to nature rather than overly literal • Natural materials are everything Rattan, teak, linen, and woven textures create depth while keeping spaces breathable • A successful palette balances energy and calm Think crisp whites, sandy neutrals, palm greens, and sun washed brights • Indoor outdoor living is not optional The best tropical homes blur the line between inside and out • Movement matters From breezy textiles to curved silhouettes, spaces should feel fluid and relaxed • Engage all the senses Scent, sound, texture, and light all play a role in creating a true escape Save 15% site wide at ⁠www.houseofblum.com⁠ [http://www.houseofblum.com/] with promo code beat15!
