As the balmy days of summer finally feel like they are settling in, there’s no better time to transform your outdoor space into a haven of style and relaxation. Whether you have a spacious garden, a petite patio, or a compact balcony, here are some inspiring ideas to help you make the most of the outdoors this season.
1. Creating Inviting Outdoor Dining Areas
Dining al fresco is a quintessential summer pleasure. To create an inviting outdoor dining area perfect for gathering friends and family, start with a sturdy and stylish dining table. Think teak or aged iron for a traditional aesthetic with elegance with durability.
2. Styling the Perfect Tablescape
A well-curated tablescape sets the scene for memorable outdoor gatherings. Mixing and layering textures is a trick we use all the time to introduce personality and depth to a space. Try using a linen tablecloth, laid with rattan chargers, glazed stoneware plates & chargers and pattern cut glasses for interest.
3. Adding Ambiance with Outdoor Lighting
Extend your evenings outdoors with the right lighting. String festoon lights will transform even the smallest of garden and help set the mood when it's time for an ice cold sun-downer. Opt for weather-resistant options with a warm white light for a soft, inviting glow. For a more structured lighting solution, consider lanterns or outdoor lamps designed to withstand the elements while enhancing your outdoor aesthetic.
4. Comfortable Seating Areas
Create the ultimate chill out spot with comfortable outdoor seating. Modular sofas and loungers provide flexibility and comfort, perfect for lounging during lazy summer afternoons. Enhance these spaces with plush outdoor cushions and throws, again layering textures, ensuring you and your guests feel relaxed and pampered.
