Let's make your outdoor space as inviting as indoors! Plan a snug spot for friends and family to chat for hours, whether for morning coffee or evening drinks.
9 simple ideas on how to make the outdoors feel more like indoors.
1. Zoning
Seating Area: Add a corner sofa to soften the area and make it sociable and inclusive. It's also perfect for sunbathing!
Mood Board: Collate ideas: Use Pinterest to gather ideas and inspiration for your product and colour scheme. This will help you visualise and tie everything together seamlessly.
2. Cushions
Colour and pattern: Brighten outdoor chairs and sofas with weatherproof cushions in colourful and patterned fabrics, including those made from durable recycled PET fabric. Keep a storage box for items needing extra care.
3. Blankets
Wool Blankets: Keep a few soft and warm blankets handy for those cool evenings.
4. Floor cushions
Extra Seating: Keep handy some big, comfy floor cushions for extra guests.
5. Candles
Atmosphere: Light up hurricane lamps and citronella candles to keep it bug-free.
6. Covering
Shade: Set up umbrellas, canopies, or a pergola to shield from sun and rain.
7. Foilage
Natural Feel: Add some potted plants or a living wall to bring in a touch of nature.
8. Floor Rugs
Outdoor Rugs: Lay down a durable rug, like one made from recycled PET plastic, to define your space.
9. Lighting
Ambient: String up some festoon lights or pop in some rechargeable table lamps.
