Calling all late-season loungers: A deck or patio will beckon in cool weather if it has versatile furnishings—such as a pair of folding canvas camp stools which can do double duty as seating or side tables.
We recently admired the interiors of NYC interior designer Ellen Hamilton’s remodeled Martha’s Vineyard beach cottage on Remodelista. Now let’s take a closer look at the outdoor living room, where camp stools play a key role. We’re considering two options at different ends of the price spectrum:
High
Above: A Teak Camp Stool available in three colors including white as shown has a canvas seat made of double-sided all-weather Sunbrella fabric. It is $228.
Low
Above: Wayfair’s Folding Camping Stool has a wood frame and is available in three colors including khaki as shown; it is $92.99.
Above: A Terassi Three-Seater Sofa designed by Helsinki-based husband and wife team Julie and Mika Tolvanen has a teak and aluminum frame with a polyester seat deck and cushions with quick-dry foam filling upholstered in Sunbrella fabric. It is $3,995 from DWR.
