Catching Shade & Style with Outdoor Umbrellas

During the summer, one of the most crucial parts of any good backyard escape is shade. Without proper shade, your outdoor living space can, unfortunately, become very un-livable. You don’t have to extend your roof or spend a lot of money on a new structure to achieve this, though. There is a quick and easy solution: umbrellas.

Outdoor umbrellas are one of my favorite style tricks for your outdoor space. They come in a variety of colors, patterns, styles and sizes. Some even come with lights built right into them. On top of it all, they are easy to move around and position as needed whether you need them for a dining table or sitting area.

Here are 10 examples of outdoor umbrellas making a splash in some stylish spaces.
