Over 2,000 successful designs, twenty years of experience, three international awards and a lifetime of experience living on the Gulf Coast, we are your outdoor room experts.
At Riviera Outdoor Decor, we understand the need to get away from the harried pace of life, and unplug from phones, computers and TVs to create lasting fun memories with family and friends.
We understand, we are a family of six. Outdoor spaces provided less distractions where we could create memories with family and friends. It was the escape and the feel of fresh air that made preparing a meal on the grill, taking a dip in the pool or playing lawn games while watching a beautiful sunset that have made many wonderful memories for our family.
We also know what it is to be a young family, it was a struggle to save for the outdoor room, buy a piece of patio furniture or outdoor cushions from the big box store just to see it deteriorate and rust away in the coastal elements.
This is why at Riviera Outdoor Decor we developed a curated collection of outdoor furniture and accessories that are built to last through the harshest of all outdoor elements. To further preserve the beauty of your selection, we include a complimentary cover and concierge services.
Our team at Riviera Outdoor Decor has volunteered numerous hours of cleanup on local beaches. Due to our experience, we pledge our commitment to preserve the health and beauty of the world we have inherited. We utilize Sunbrella fabrics exclusively, due to their long lasting performance, sustainability and recycle program.
We pledge to offer a curated collection of outdoor patio furniture, outdoor cushions, curtains, rugs and other accessories that will last and not wind up in land fills.
As a pledge to the environment and coastal areas, a portion of our profits go to 4ocean, Mercy Ships and local non-profits.
We are a family owned patio and outdoor living store located in Corpus Christi, Texas. We have a lifetime experience of living on the coast and know how to design, select and manufacture products that can withstand the harshest elements of the outdoors.
