Room of the Week: Hosting a Post-Finals Patio Fiesta
Start off post-grad life by shopping our picks for a festive, fashionable patio.

Congrats to all recent or soon-to-be graduates out there! Time to put those four (or more) years of endless studying behind you and kick off the next chapter with a vibrant, post-finals fiesta. Take your cue from interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn and use bright, playful hues to set the mood for your design. Create a cozy spot to catch-up over cocktails with a stunning aqua wicker sofa, piled high with coral and graphic, black-and-white pillows. Be sure the guest of honor has first dibs on the breezy rope hammock swing (i.e. the best seat in the house) and add a modern white end table for guests to park party snacks before heading back for a second helping of pineapple and black bean guacamole. Continue with the crisp aesthetic and scatter two or three white bamboo planter boxes, overflowing with cheerful summer blooms.
