14 May Transform Your Outdoor Space into a Summer Oasis
With the warm Summer months quickly approaching, it’s more important than ever to have an appealing outdoor space for entertaining guests or relaxing in your downtime. Carefully consider seating and decor to maximise comfort and relaxation, making the most of your alfresco room while the good weather lasts.
Cosy Corner
A corner sofa is an excellent option if you have limited space to work with. It tucks away neatly, allowing you to create an open, clutter-free arrangement on your small deck or balcony. Corner sofas also add to the sense of cosiness, creating a comfortable, warm atmosphere.
Create Different Areas
If space permits, a fantastic way to transform your outdoor space is to categorise it into different areas. Having a designated space for gathering with friends, relaxing and dining can help to improve functionality and appeal. Even in small spaces, zoning can help create a sense of purpose.
Go Green
A simple way to transform your outdoor space into a Summer oasis is by adding greenery. In small spaces, potted plants are a go-to, as a variety of heights can provide structure, visual interest and privacy. Green AstroTurf can also have a dramatic impact on the overall look of your space.
Relax with Hammocks
Hammocks are a simple way to create a relaxed, fun atmosphere in your outdoor space. They are easy to take down during poor weather and are easily changed and customised according to your desires.
Stay Grounded
Keeping soft furnishings close to the ground helps to create a relaxed ambience. It is also great for informal lounging spaces as cushions can easily be moved around to accommodate for different groups and seating arrangements. Sitting low to the ground may also provide additional privacy as tall plants will act as a screen.
Upcycle Pallets
Inexpensive and stylish, pallets are a great option for creating the foundations of an outdoor entertaining space. They can be used to create rustic style sofas and tables – your imagination is the only limit.
