Bye-bye, boring umbrellas! At the recent Casual Market Atlanta, both furnishings makers and shade specialists offered a range of sun-blocking solutions that bring a healthy dose of style and functionality to any outdoor space.
One of the biggest trends in shade over the past couple of seasons has been vintage-inspired, embellished umbrellas. That trend solidified its hold on the marketplace in Atlanta, with several companies offering styles with pops of color and pattern underneath the canopy, making the umbrella eye-catching inside and out.
For a more permanent shade solution, pergolas and other structures have become a big draw. Several manufacturers added or will add these structures to their lines.
