HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,
May 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Summer is as much a mindset as it is a season. But even the
ultimate summer state-of-mind is hampered by an uninspired outdoor
living space. So in the spirit of season, Sears Outdoor Living and
celebrity designer Ty Pennington
have teamed up to offer seven secrets to the art of creating
the perfect outdoor oasis. In June, the company will unveil videos
featuring Pennington showcasing Sears outdoor living products,
along with solutions to common design challenges at his new
Florida home. But starting today,
visit Sears outdoor living hub to find tips on grilling and outdoor
entertaining. And enter for a chance* to win 1.5 million points
towards creating a dream patio space.
"Nothing says 'summer' quite like an outdoor oasis, but if I
know anything about outside entertaining, it's that everyone's
space is unique," said Pennington. "Regardless of size, climate or
seasonal element, you can achieve the ultimate outdoor entertaining
area with a lot of creativity and a little help from my friends at
Sears."
Ty Pennington's Seven Secrets
to Creating an Outdoor Oasis:
- Build your base, add over time – After envisioning your
dream outdoor space, you can purchase an entire patio collection at
once or build it over time, depending on your entertaining needs.
Fortunately, the Ty Pennington Style Parkside Collection
encompasses 20 matching outdoor necessities – from a loveseat and
ottoman to a dining table, umbrella and even a resin wicker swing.
It allows you to make additions to your set on your own time. The
collection is now available in three colors for custom
personalization.
- Get to grilling – Whether you're a novice griller or a
seasoned outdoor pro, Sears has the grills to match your space and
skillset. With 40,000 BTUs of power, a side burner and two large
wheels for easy maneuvering, the Kenmore 4 Burner Gas Grill with
stainless steel lid is ideal of the beginning griller. If cooking
for a crowd is more your style, consider the Kenmore Elite® 600
Series 4 Burner Gas Grill. With 694 square inches of total cooking
area, 64,000 BTUs of power, and a cast iron side burner to cook
side dishes and sauces, it's the ideal grill for the avid
entertainer.
- Welcome small spaces – Think your condo balcony or
oceanside deck is too small for outdoor entertaining? Think again.
For an intimate yet eclectic look and feel, consider the extensive
line of bistro and bar sets available at Sears. They are easily
customizable and ideal for dining for two.
- Go green and add some color – Nothing dresses up a patio
faster than plants and flowers. Many planters at Sears coordinate
with our patio collections. Refresh your patio with colorful rugs,
pillows and cushions. In addition, a strategically-placed patio
umbrella can do more than just block the sun – it can define your
entire outdoor space. After all, summer parties should create a
relaxed vibe.
- Make your move, weigh your priorities – Summer is moving
season. Whether you're moving from the city to the suburbs or from
a single-family home to a condo in the city, match your outdoor
entertaining to the space you have. If moving to a market with
extreme climates, invest in durable furniture that can stand up to
the environment. Consider patio furniture with a rust-resistant
steel frame, UV-resistant fabric and an all-weather resin weave
like the La-Z-Boy Charlotte 4 pc. Seating Set available at Sears.
This set will accommodate your guests comfortably while upholding
inclement weather for years to come.
- Dine with family and friends – Party hosts know the
frustration of carrying food back and forth between the kitchen and
the backyard. Fortunately, the Kenmore 5-Burner Island Gas Grill
with Refrigerator takes elements from the kitchen to the great
outdoors. With a side searing burner, a storage cabinet, two
storage drawers and a built-in refrigerator, hosts can focus on the
food and their guests with fewer trips to the kitchen.
- Consider your climate – The most popular patio sets on
the market are made with either aluminum or steel. Steel is heavier
than aluminum but can rust over time. Aluminum is naturally
rustproof and generally requires less maintenance. For added
protection, make sure your patio set has a heavy duty powder-coated
frame if you choose steel.
A survey report published by the National Association of Home
Builders shows that the average new home in 2015 is expected to be
about 10 percent smaller than the average new home in 2010. That
same report shows that the demand for outdoor living products will
climb by four percent in 2015.
"As homes continue to get smaller, it's no surprise that
consumers are prioritizing their outdoor living spaces," said
James Alt, senior vice president and
president of Seasonal and Outdoor Living, Sears Holdings. "As this
demand increases, we're pleased to be the go-to retailer for all
outdoor living solutions with top celebrity lines and exclusive new
products."
Throughout the spring and summer seasons, Sears will offer a
great selection of outdoor living collections and grills, including
collections from Ty Pennington Style, Grand Resort, La-Z-Boy
Outdoor, Kenmore and Kenmore Elite®.
