This is why outdoor rooms and patios have become our favorite rooms to design. We understand families. We have four children of our own and know first hand the difficulty of balancing work stress, the need to unwind and quality family life. This means stepping outside for a breath of fresh air without computers and cell phones.
This is why we have created our outdoor decor for family life. Our products not only make your patio beautiful and luxurious but multi-functional as well. We do not simply sell outdoor curtains, we sell them so they are wind-resistant and do not rip apart. We also make them to double as outdoor movie screens giving you more value for your money. Your kids can relax on floats in the pool with friends and take in an outdoor movie at the same time. What a wonderful childhood memory!
Perhaps, you have children or even grandparents who would enjoy a game of checkers? Yes, we had that in mind when we designed our outdoor cushions as well.
Who does not enjoy outdoor dining and a family barbecue? At Riviera Outdoor Decor our outdoor dining tablecloths and placemats are designed to create a beautiful table setting to impress, with beautiful candle settings to keep bugs and mosquitoes away.
We invite you to scan our products for more detail. Please be aware we are adding new products to our website weekly.
Designing for outdoor spaces presents unique challenges from weather proofing to heavy-duty material selection, requiring expert knowledge and a specific skill set of design and construction of outdoor decor. So, how do you know our products and designers are the ones to be trusted for the job?
“To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.” - Henry David Thoreau
It is our mission to affect the quality of your day and family time by giving you an outdoor space and patio to rest, recharge, away from cell phones and computers because family time without distractions are memories to last forever.
The transformation of this patio and outdoor room is unbelievable and a beautiful start to the day

Into an inviting getaway! |
Our three core values for our customers are:
Unlike the big-box stores, giant on-line retailer or the designer who will hire the lowest cost sewing workroom - our outdoor decor is specially designed and masterfully crafted by our International Award Winning Lead Designer and Studio Owner. Along with her specially trained team, she creates every product to give you numerous years of use. Not only do we use the best outdoor fabrics and supplies, but our products and processes are designed for longevity. The money you save by not replacing your furnishings every 2-3 years leaves you more resources to create your dream outdoor space.
Well designed and planned outdoor spaces add value to your home. It’s like adding square footage without the construction cost. It is one of the wisest use of your design dollars for investment purposes. For more detail on this subject, please read our Blog post here.
With the flood of electronics clamoring for our attention, it takes a deliberate effort to set them aside and focus on what matters most. We find that stepping outside is a good way to escape the listening ears of Google and Alexa.
We are a family owned boutique patio and outdoor living store located in Corpus Christi, Texas along the Texas Gulf Coast also known as the Texas Riviera.
