HillTop Interiors Summer Staples: Essential Outdoor Furniture for Any Space
Choosing furniture and accessories for your outdoor space is certainly exciting, especially when there are such unique living spaces to design. As is the case in Muskoka.
Outdoor home and cottage spaces in Muskoka are designed with distinct style; rooted in inspiration from cottage country and its natural surroundings, trends in design and materials of furnishings preserve traditional charm that dates back to the 1900’s.
Back then, Bar Harbour wicker furniture covered local porches, and wicker is still a popular choice for covered areas. In recent decades though, the wicker style has transcended to an outdoor furniture’s material of choice: recycled plastic.
From the screened in porch, the back deck and the fire pit to a boathouse slip or expansive boathouse balcony, the potential for outdoor design in Muskoka is vast. When preparing your outdoor space for the summer ahead, there are some essential items that guarantee to make your summer for comfortable and stylish.
Melamine Tableware
The plastic line of tableware is light, durable and travels easily from the cottage to the dock. It also comes in array of chic and funky colours to suit your personal style.
Umbrellas
Umbrellas are the perfect way to add practical shade and finesse to your dock or upper boathouse. Choose something mounted but movable, so you can use it while sunbathing on your favourite dock chair or sitting at your outdoor dining table.
Outdoor Rugs
Outdoor rugs are a perfect way to sophisticate an outdoor area, and if you have a lot of space, it’s a great way to section off different utilities of the space. For example, it can be used under the coffee table to bring together the position of your outdoor living room.

We would be remiss not to mention the Muskoka Chair, a staple of Muskoka living and the areas most popular furniture piece.
Outdoor Living Room Furniture
