Adapting Coastal Style for the Southwest

Bringing an East Coast look to a desert climate like Phoenix requires thoughtful adjustments:

• Use synthetic wicker or powder-coated aluminum for durability

• Select fade-resistant fabrics that still feel light and breezy

• Incorporate shade with umbrellas, pergolas, or awnings

• Replace traditional coastal plants with desert-friendly containers like lavender, rosemary, and potted citrus
