Outrageous Outdoor Spaces

The annual Atlanta Symphony Associates 2015 Decorators' Showhouse and Gardens raises funds for the Atlanta Symphony and features big name designers creating both indoor and outdoor spaces like HGTV's Vern Yip and Chip Wade.

HGTV's Chip Wade designed several outdoor spaces at the 2015 Atlanta Symphony Showhouse and Gardens. "With architecture like this—very stately—I always tend to go more of the comfortable route," says Wade of his designs.

HGTV's Chip Wade designed this front loggia at the Symphony Showhouse using dramatic planters and furniture from Frontgate. When designing an outdoor space, Wade asks himself "is this place compelling? Does it make you want to walk down there and be in it?"

Stunning Frontgate planters are planted up with banana, rosemary and striking color combinations of deep plum and chartreuse.
