Birds are chirping, barbeques are sizzling and we’re spending more time outdoors embracing the long sunny days with friends and family.
If your outdoor living space is looking a bit bland, bring it to life with our style experts tips for the season.
Botanical inspired accessories using zesty hues and tactile materials will bring a natural charm to your outdoor living space. Lush banana palms are the current plant du jour. Soften the hard lines of pavers and decking with texture – we are talking woven wicker, leafy pot plants, outdoor rugs and cushions – these will all tie together nicely to create an inviting outdoor space.
All the rage at the moment are those bold tropical prints that have been all over the fashion catwalks. Why not incorporate them into your home too? Where better than your outdoor living space to create a tropical oasis vibe.
It’s all about brightening up your space with graphic prints, vibrant hues and geometric designs. Give your outdoor area a playful summer vibe with these stylish cushions. Want to mix prints? Sticking to a tight colour palette of similar tones is the key to pulling off this look.
If a subdued look is more your style, you can create a look that’s minimalist, yet charming using darker tones paired together with a little pop of colour. We’re loving the rope look of the ‘Valley’ Lounge Setting shown below which is bang on trend at the moment. We’ve paired it together with bright cushions and an umbrella to add a bit of colour and warmth.
Bring the indoors out with a rug to complement your outdoor space. Chic and durable rugs designed for the outdoors can be easily hosed down to keep your outdoor living area looking fresh and fabulous. Find an outdoor rug that offers both function and fashion to set the scene for late night barbeques with friends and families.
