For a brunch on her Nashville patio, Gen Sohr — cofounder of design firm Pencil & Paper Co. — infuses a classic palette with zesty citrus hues.

Wicker chairs set at both ends anchor the table. Pillows made from Mark D. Sikes for Schumacher fabric pull it all together.

"A base palette of blue and white is both fresh and flexible — you can dress it up or down," Sohr says. "I added our signature orangey-red, plus lemon yellows for summery warmth."

Beautiful cookware lends dimension, while the rattan placemats have a relaxed vibe.
