Cost Plus World Market Makes Outdoor Entertaining Easy

New Outdoor Collection Celebrates Cool Comfort in Hot Weather

OAKLAND, Calif. (March 16, 2011) — The spring season is officially here and Cost Plus World Market thinks it’s time to start enjoying the nice weather that comes along with it. Whether you’re a fan of the hot colors of the South Pacific, chic color combinations, or cool beach colors, World Market customers are sure to find options to fit their style, lifestyle, and budget.

In stores and online now, the new “Gauguin Garden” collection of outdoor textiles includes a vibrant floral pattern that gives a nod to the influence of French Polynesia on the art of Paul Gauguin. Working off of a bright color palette of fuchsia red, bright violet, blue, and yellow, the colors complement the new bold stripe and patchwork pattern found on World Market’s outdoor chair pads, bench cushions, and toss pillows.

As the outdoor entertaining headquarters, World Market has everything to add cool comfort to the season of outdoor entertaining and living. The classic and affordable Adirondack chair is back in an array of colors, and new oversized, patterned umbrellas keep guests cool in the shade. All-weather wicker furniture and the new Maldives dining and Maldives occasional collections add additional seating and entertaining space to the outdoors.

World Market customers can find affordable options to set a beautiful tabletop all summer long with lanterns, patterned plates, glassware, and serveware, as well as gourmet food and wine. Customers are encouraged to visit the store throughout the season, as the assortment is continually refreshed with unique outdoor patterns and colors.

Since 1958, specialty retailer World Market has been the shopping destination for gift giving, home décor, furniture, unique jewelry and accessories, and gourmet food and wine.
