Embrace the indoor/outdoor living trend by creating attractive garden areas that perfectly complement your interior. The weather is really inspiring this way of life now, but how can you make your outdoor spaces welcoming? Here are some ideas and options.
exterior surfaces
Depending on your wishes and needs, there are several outdoor floor coverings to choose from. Non-slip tiles are great for areas likely to get wet, while cement-based variations like screed add durability. Mosaic tiles, especially Moroccan style, will make your outdoor space more eye-catching and bold, and help you highlight some parts. Tiling with grass in between gives your outdoor space a more natural feel. If you want to add a warm, homely feel to your space, outdoor rugs are versatile and provide cushioning for children playing on the floor.
Outdoor lounges
Gone are the days of plastic patio furniture and lumpy seat cushions that fade in the sun. The latest outdoor furniture is beautiful as it is durable and offers a variety of statement offerings that can be used both indoors and outdoors. Rock comfortable furniture and items to carry indoors after the outdoor season is over. Create an interior space – a living room or dining room or both – and give it a cozy indoor feel. Create a relaxing space by arranging your seating around a central point – like a coffee or dining table, a fire pit, a rug, or a swimming pool.
outdoor accessories
Give your porch a personal, vibrant feel with tactile additions that blend seamlessly with the environment. From woven organic lampshades and baskets to bold wax prints, earthy stoneware and classic wooden furniture, this is modern outdoor design at its best. Small things make a big difference, so accessories make your outdoor space very welcoming. Add candle lanterns, layered rugs, potted greens and flowers, add colorful cushions and voila – your outdoor lounge is super inviting, you won’t want to leave!
