Certified Retailer of Tropitone Outdoor Furniture for Destin, 30A, & Panama City – Save 10% This Spring
2023 Pantone Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, provides vibrant touch to outdoor spaces
In seeking inspiration for creating dream outdoor spaces, we often look to Pantone’s Color of the Year. The 2023 Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, is bold and vibrant.
The crimson hue is inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the strongest and brightest dyes in the world.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, shared that her vision for the assertive shade “Is that it will encourage you to be braver with your home’s design choices.”
Viva Magenta has the potential to bring bright pops of color to flat monotone spaces through throw pillows, umbrellas, and outdoor art. For a bold approach, select vibrant magenta colored cushions and brighten the entire room.

We’re proud to carry American-made products that are built with the premium materials and quality craftsmanship. Over the course of managing our business, here are some of the frequently asked questions we hear.

Tips for Creating an Irresistible Backyard for Entertaining in Destin, Florida and Beyond
By Barb Ambrose
Looking to elevate your entertaining options at home? Look no further than your backyard. An upgraded outdoor space will impress your guests and enhance your home’s enjoyment. Here are some tips to make your yard a crowd-pleasing paradise for your next party.
Party Platform
A new or upgraded deck or patio should be the starting point for your outdoor oasis. If you’re installing a deck, consider lower-maintenance composite materials. Don’t overlook the railing: it’s an important design element that can modernize the space. A drink rail is a trending finish that gives your guests a place to set their beverage. Patios dress up the ground level, and you can customize the look with stone, pavers, or concrete.

OUTDOOR SEATING
What’s an outdoor space without plenty of places to kick back and relax? Bay Breeze Patio has everything you’ll need to outfit your space. This includes tables, chairs, sectionals and loveseats, and much more. The Polywood collection offers durable, all-season furniture. Put pops of color in the mix with Polywood’s popular Adirondack chairs. Add elegant seating solutions with a Polywood dining table.

Outdoor Cooking
One of the biggest trends in outdoor living spaces is an outdoor kitchen. These go far beyond a grill on the deck. Upscale versions include built-in grills, under-counter refrigerators, ice makers, and even pizza ovens. An outdoor kitchen adds convenience and increases the value of your home. And because of the Emerald Coast’s temperate climate, you’ll use it for entertaining throughout the year.

Light the Night
Keep the party going into the night with outdoor lighting. Incorporate LED lights into your patio or deck, especially on stairs and railings. String lights are a festive touch above the deck or along fences. You can light up walkways with inexpensive solar lights for an illuminating touch.
Stay Cool
Beat the heat by adding shade to your outdoor retreat. Umbrellas are a classic choice that let you incorporate color with bright fabrics. Pergolas with covers or curtains make a stylish statement while keeping you cool. Shade sails protect you from the sun while adding a modern look to your backyard.
Make a Splash
Turn your yard into a true outdoor oasis with a swimming pool. This is a significant investment, but it can be a good one in Florida, especially if most homes around you have one. Plus, it’s hard to resist a pool party during the summer.

Upgrading your backyard allows you to spend more time outside without leaving home. You’ll have more room to host gatherings, and your space will be the place where everyone wants to be.
This blog was contributed by Barb Ambrose, a home stager and landscape design writer. She loves entertaining and playing in her backyard, but she despises yard work. She recently expanded her patio and added an outdoor kitchen so she has less grass to mow.

Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year Provides Inspiration for Your Patio
Pantone revealed the 2020 Color of Year is Classic Blue. This is a great choice for outdoor furniture and accessories because this hue beautifully complements our coastal environment and opens a world of options for blending a classic color with modern design and accents.
The 2020 color is a nod to the first Color of the Year, Cerulean, another blue hue chosen in 1999 to capture a moment in time. The Pantone Color Institute selected Classic Blue to represent reassurance, confidence and a connection that people may be searching for in an uncertain global environment. Each year’s color is decided through a thoughtful process that takes into consideration lifestyle and industry trends. Color influences can come from art, upcoming media, movies, lifestyles, socioeconomic and political conditions, travel destinations, new technology among other benchmarks.
For those who want to incorporate the 2020 color, consider accessories/pillows, outdoor furniture cushions and outdoor fabrics designed for backyards, patios and porches. Here’s some ideas for infusing Classic Blue in your backyard or outdoor room:
As An Accent
Spruce up your outdoor space with the color of the year (Classic Blue) by adding throw pillows that bring the perfect pop of color to almost any outdoor furniture—classic or modern design.
Above, the Ravello Woven Outdoor Furniture by Tropitone is warmed with Classic Blue outdoor pillows. This collection, designed by Robert Mainville, features long-lasting aluminum frame and TropiKane Bison Weave. The results is classic, old world charm with unsurpassed comfort.
Below, the Oasis Collection by Lane Venture gains a fresh coastal feel with classic blue outdoor pillows complemented by patterns and stripes in matching shades.
More Cushion
Another great way to infuse the color of the year is by selecting outdoor furniture with Classic Blue cushions. Brown Jordan‘s Parkway Modular Sectionals are a great example of incorporating this year’s classic blue hue with modern design.
Endless Options with Sunbrella Outdoor Fabrics
Do you have your own ideas? Sunbrella durable outdoor fabrics come in a variety of colors including Pacific Blue (a similar blue hue to this year’s classic blue). This fabric offers UV protection and is extremely durable for Destin’s harsh coastal conditions. Consider selecting Sunbrella fabrics for awnings, umbrellas, custom cushions and more.
We’re ready to help refresh your patio and bring a fresh look to your backyard with this year’s classic blue hue. Visit our showroom at 32 Forest Shore Drive in Miramar Beach (one mile west of Silver Sands Premium Outlets) to explore the endless array of options or call us at 850-269-4666.

Outdoor Furniture Trends Embrace Style, Comfort and Functionality
Enhancing the patio, backyard or deck has been a growing trend in home improvement over the past few years. Improvements make the backyard more enjoyable for homeowners while adding value to the home. All signs indicate that outdoor living will continue to grow in popularity as families continue to seek ways to bring the comfort and function of indoors outside.
With the start of the new year, many homeowners are thinking about renovating their outdoor living space in preparation for spring and summer fun. If you’re in this category, you may be considering following the latest trends and designs for outdoor furniture and outdoor living. After years in the business and attending the International Casual Furniture Market in Chicago, here is what we are seeing:
Composite –Composite is made up of 100% resin, and at one time was just Adirondack Chairs. Today, Composite is everything from Adirondacks to dining to cushioned deep seating and chaise lounges. This trend is one of the fastest growing in the U.S. Most manufacturers are offering warranties of 20 years minimum. At the Beach, Composite can be the most practical choice, while their wood counter parts often last only a few years in harsh coastal environments before needing repainting. At Bay Breeze Patio, we stock three manufacturers in composite and they produce 52 different colors among them. With warranties from 20 years to lifetime, Composite can make life even easier on the coast.
Teak is back with a vengeance. Teak was almost dormant but it is back. Straight Teak, Teak mixed with Sling Fabric, Teak Accents on Aluminum or Outdoor Wicker — it does not matter. Teak that is harvested the right way – from FSC forests – is making its way into all kinds of furniture manufacturers. While Teak still requires a lot of work to keep its natural color, it speaks to the organic trends that are so prevalent today.
Mixed Media – Combining materials has been an ongoing trend for a few years. Whether it’s combining outdoor wicker with wood, cast aluminum with wicker, composite with sling, or brushed stainless steel with wood, the options are endless. There are many ways to combine materials to take a piece of furniture and achieve many different looks and styles. Fully-upholstered furniture for the outdoors was soaring a few years back and has slowed due to the maintenance involved in keeping the fabric clean outdoors. This year’s trend is embracing upholstered furniture mixed with other materials to accomplish an organic feel with less work.
Sectionals – Sectionals started trending about five years ago but have really come into their own in the last two years. Every manufacturer we work with has found a way to turn existing lines into sectional lines. Sectionals are all about space and coziness. While Outdoor Wicker is the material of choice, we are starting to see more aluminum, wood and composite sectionals. Sectionals provide the ultimate gathering spot.
Outdoor Kitchens – In most of the country homeowners can only dream of a fabulous outdoor kitchen. On the Emerald Coast, it is a reality. The trend is to build bigger and better outdoor kitchens and the outdoor appliance manufacturers are making it easier and more hassle free. Outdoor Appliances have to be built – just like outdoor furniture – to hold up to the harsh elements of a coastal environment. A Grill is just the beginning of an outdoor kitchen. Burners, Refrigerators, Kegerators, Ice Machines, Dish Washers, Pizza Ovens, Teppanyaki Griddles, Fire Places and Fire Pits built around a variety of cabinetry choices allow homeowners to customize and personalize, creating the dream outdoor kitchen for your family.
Our team of outdoor living experts is ready to assist you in finding the perfect mix of outdoor furniture and accessories to create your dream outdoor living space. While it is helpful to begin your research online, we highly recommend purchasing local. Here’s why… You will want to work with local experts who understand the benefits and pitfalls of each brand and how it performs in harsh coastal conditions before making a purchase. In addition, once your products arrive, you’ll want a team of professionals to assemble your purchases and deliver them to your backyard. Finally, if you have any issues with your purchase, you’ll benefit from the local support and assistance in making warranty claims or repairs. At Bay Breeze Patio, we represent premium brands that offer a minimum five-year warranty and are known for durability and comfort.
We invite you call us (850-269-4666) or visit our store in Miramar Beach (one mile west of Silver Sands Premium Outlets) to explore the possibilities and create your dream backyard or outdoor kitchen.

How to clean outdoor fabrics?
Fabrics such as Sunbrella® fabrics are engineered to withstand outdoor elements with the highest level of design and performance. For easy cleaning of durable fabrics follow these steps:
- Brush off loose dirt.
- Spray on a cleaning solution made of water and mild soap.
- Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
- Allow cleaning solution to soak into the fabric.
- Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed.
- Air dry.
To remove mildew from fabrics, soak a sponge in a solution of 1/2 cup borax dissolved in 2 cups hot water, and rub it into the affected areas. Let it soak in for several hours until the stain disappears, then rinse well. For Sunbrella® fabrics, you can use ¼ dish soap, 1 cup bleach with 1 gallon of water. Rinse well.
If it is time to replace cushions, Bay Breeze Patio offers a variety of in-stock patio furniture cushions or can order custom styles and sizes. Representing more than 12 premium outdoor furniture brands, the team can also order cushions direct from premium furniture brands, including Lloyd Flanders, Brown Jordan, Lane Venture, Summer Classics, and Skyline.
