5 Easy Tips for Decorating your Great Room

More and more, people are using their outdoor patio area an extension of their indoor living space. Now that the warm weather is here, it is important to maximize outdoor living space by adding the right elements that make it inviting and comfortable. Start by cleaning things up after a long harsh winter and take stock of what you already own for your patio. Then inspect your outdoor space and add what you need to give it that “wow” factor.

Clean it Up

The first step in making your outdoor living area an inviting retreat is to clean things up after the winter weather. Get rid of any stray children’s toys or other debris that may have been left out for months. You may have to power wash your patio and the exterior walls of your house. Hose down your windows or have them cleaned professionally.

Consider Your Assets

Every outdoor space has its strengths, so embrace yours. “Look for the power spot,” said Jan Johnsen, a landscape designer and the author of “Gardentopia: Design Basics for Creating Beautiful Outdoor Spaces.” Once you find your power spot, she said, “then you work around that.” 

If you have a roof deck with an enviable view, celebrate it by placing the furnishings so they direct the eye to the vista. Is your backyard shaded by a narrow New York brownstone? Enhance the mood with a shade garden, cozy seating and soft lighting.

  2. The choice of whether to use WITH-SLOTS versus WITH-ACCESSORS is the same as the choice between SLOT-VALUE and
    an accessor function: low-level code that provides the basic functionality of a class may use SLOT-VALUE or WITH-SLOTS to directly manipulate slots in ways not
    supported by accessor functions or to explicitly avoid the effects of auxiliary methods that may have been defined on the
    accessor functions. WITH-SLOTS provides direct access to the slots, as if
    by SLOT-VALUE, while WITH-ACCESSORS provides a shorthand free $10 play for riversweeps (Kent) accessor methods.
    The form of WITH-ACCESSORS is the same as WITH-SLOTS except each element of the slot list is
    a two-item list containing a variable name and the name of an accessor function. However, :
    class slots are accessed the same as :instance slots–they’re accessed with
    SLOT-VALUE or an accessor function, which means you can access
    the slot value only through an instance of the class even though it isn’t actually stored in the instance.
