Now that outdoor living is a staple of our warm-weather months, it's time to add some personality to your seasonal sanctuary. Dressing up the deck, patio or porch with more than furniture is as easy as adding some extras. Just like inside the home, accessories will make it your own.

Pillows, lamps, rugs and even art have all made the move from interior to exterior thanks to weather-resistant fabrics and innovative design. Lighting options have expanded from hanging lanterns to outdoor lamps that are sleek enough to slip back inside. Umbrellas come in every color and stripe including imitation palms. Of course, planters and pots are available in infinite variations on the basic terra cotta. Even the dog bed has been upgraded for outdoor living to a futon.

Fireplaces and water features are also bi-territorial. The soothing sound of flowing water now comes in a variety of versions from teacups to concrete. An outdoor fireplace can warm your hands and heart, but for a really dramatic entrance, nothing tops pillars with flames up high.
