Rebecca I love your tips here. I can’t wait for better weather so we can have that outside living area again. We really do live outside in the summer. I also love that first shot the mixture of textiles and I love seating at the table. Would you like to link up with #FamilyFun as I think this is such a great room for families and we don’t have any home/interior posts? Hope you don’t mind me asking.
Really enjoyed this post. I love having fresh flowers on my dining room table, they make such a huge difference to the room! And I am determined to get some giant outdoor cushions for my garden this year as we spend so much time out there! Thanks for this post. x #thelist

You made a good point about see-through curtains. However, sunlight passing through such curtains can additionally heat your house in the summer and you will have to run the air conditioner constantly. From this point of view, I think that curtains made of thick fabric are a more reasonable choice. At the same time, this is an option that is suitable for any season.
