It’s in the details Investing in a few new pieces, from accessories to dining chairs, can help you curate a perfectly imperfect style.

BISTRO CHAIRS Today’s European-style metal bistro chairs easily impart sophistication to a space. The small scale and sculptural lines of Article’s Caya chair (article.com) makes it fit into any style of décor. Think of it as the little black dress of outdoor dining chairs. String lights Outdoor spaces that have Edison-bulb string lights criss-crossed overhead have a magical quality. String lights are an inexpensive way to create ambience, but just remember that they won’t emit enough light to totally illuminate the space. Canadian Tire’s CANVAS Vintage Edison String Lights (canadiantire.ca) are rated for outdoor use. TABLEWARE Think outside the box when you’re pulling together your space, and make creative choices when it comes to tableware. EQ3’s Dew Stone plates (eq3.com) are made from natural stone—no two will look alike. THROW BLANKETS There’s something so thought- ful about having throw blankets folded neatly over the backs of chairs. On chilly nights, guests merely need to reach behind them for their ersatz wrap. Tonic Living’s Mira Throw (tonicliving.com) is a stylish, lightweight option.
