Creating a Stylish and Low-Maintenance Outdoor Oasis in Shallotte, NC

Introduction

Nestled in the scenic town of Shallotte, NC, lies a newly designed outdoor space that perfectly blends style, comfort, and low maintenance. My clients wanted a versatile area around their pool and porches for entertaining friends, with an emphasis on easy upkeep and a sleek, neutral color palette. It was an exciting challenge to bring their vision to life, creating a space that is both beautiful and functional.

Understanding the Client's Vision

The clients expressed a desire for varied seating options around their pool and porches to accommodate gatherings of friends and family. They envisioned a space that included seating by the fire pit and emphasized low maintenance for the pool area. To achieve a clean and streamlined look, they requested neutral colors, specifically gray for the frames and white for the cushions and slings.

Design Strategy

To fulfill the clients' vision, I focused on selecting durable and low-maintenance materials that did not compromise on style. The seating area around the pool featured Polywood coastal chaises, known for their durability and resistance to the elements. These chaises provided a comfortable spot for lounging by the pool while being easy to clean and maintain.

For additional seating, we chose Adirondack chairs in varying heights and captain's chairs to create a dynamic and inviting space. The Eureka and Lane Venture woven collections offered a sophisticated look with their high-quality woven materials, ensuring long-lasting durability and low upkeep. To enhance comfort, we used Sunbrella cushions, which are renowned for their weather resistance and ease of cleaning.

The color scheme was carefully selected to meet the clients' preference for a clean and streamlined look. We used all gray for the frames and white for the cushions and slings, creating a cohesive and elegant appearance. This neutral palette not only looks modern and chic but also complements the natural surroundings beautifully.
