The Hummingbird Spirit
Colibri means hummingbird in several Romance languages. And a hummingbird is exactly what we want your backyard to feel like: small but mighty, always moving, full of color and energy and life.
Colibri Outdoor Living was founded on a very specific belief: summer is too short to spend it indoors hiding from the heat. And your backyard is too wonderful to only use it in the evenings when the sun finally goes down.
We help everyday people — families, friends, neighbors — turn their patios, decks, and gardens into spaces where summer days are actually enjoyable. Not just bearable. Actually fun.
What We Do
Patio & Terrace Styling
We help you choose furniture, cushions, rugs, lighting, and decor that looks beautiful and stays comfortable. That means breathable fabrics, light colors that reflect sun, and layouts that encourage conversation while catching whatever breeze exists.
Garden Furniture for Real Life
From tiny bistro sets for morning coffee to deep-seating sofas for evening hangs, we source and recommend furniture that works in heat. No sticky vinyl. No metal that burns. No cushions that trap sweat.
Outdoor Entertaining — Done Right
Summer parties are our favorite thing. We help you plan everything: tablescaping, drink stations, shade placement, music setups, and keeping all your guests comfortable even when it’s hot outside. Because a party where everyone is fanning themselves with napkins isn’t a good party.
Fire Pit & Evening Gatherings
Evenings cool down, but sometimes not enough. We help you design fire pit zones that transition well from day to night — shade during hot afternoons, cozy warmth after sunset, and smart seating that works for both.
Keeping Your Backyard Cool in Heat
This is where Colibri really shines. We don’t believe in pretending heat doesn’t exist. We give you practical, stylish, affordable ways to stay comfortable:
- Umbrellas and shade sails that actually work
- Pergola orientations that cast shadow on seating areas
- Cooling fabrics and breathable furniture materials
- Personal airflow solutions for patios and decks
- Simple DIY tricks like misting setups and frozen drink hacks
Our Philosophy
Summer is for being outside. Not for running from air-conditioned house to air-conditioned car. Not for hiding until sunset. Not for sweating through your shirt during a simple barbecue.
We believe that with the right setup — the right shade, the right furniture, the right little tricks — you can enjoy your backyard even on hot July afternoons.
Small changes make a big difference. You don’t need a complete renovation. Sometimes it’s just moving your umbrella, swapping cushion fabrics, or adding a small personal cooling device next to your lounge chair.
Your backyard should feel like a vacation. Every day. Not just when you spend thousands on a full remodel.
Why “Colibri”?
Because hummingbirds don’t wait for perfect conditions. They zip around, find the cool spots, sip what they need, and keep enjoying their day. That’s exactly how we want you to experience your backyard — agile, joyful, and fully present even when the sun is strong.
Who We Serve
- Families who want to actually use their patio for afternoon playdates and not just evening dinners
- Hosts who love throwing summer parties and want their guests to stay comfortable
- Garden lovers who spend hours outside and need breaks from the sun
