Many people view their garden as an extension of their house.
In fact, in recent years, the phenomenon of people extending
the comfort and luxury of their homes into the “great
outdoors” has grown dramatically. Fuelled by this massive
change of consumer interest, patio and garden furniture manufacturers
are developing stylish products to enhance the comfort and
convenience of entertaining outside, whatever the weather
or climate.
The home’s living space can now be extended both literally
and visually. There are barbeques and fireplaces of all different
sizes and styles, from basic to high-tech and patio furniture
and accessories that will help set any mood.
Creating an outdoor room is relatively easy. You should think
about what effect you are trying to achieve; do you want it
to be minimalist, light and cool, or do you want a more Mediterranean
feel. Whatever look you’re after, there are some essential
items that belong in any outdoor room.
• A grilling and eating area – this is usually
pulled together with a hearth product, such as a fireplace,
a patio heater or a chiminea
• Landscaping – raised flower-beds are a particularly
good idea if you don’t have much space, as you can fit
more in and they add interest. Tubs and a range of different
heights of plants are also a good idea
• Lighting – ambient lighting is a very important
factor in creating your outdoor room, as this will not only
affect the mood, but also how long you can stay outside! Try
lanterns, fairy lights, candles or solar powered lights
• Sculptures – These can help create a cohesive
feeling within an outdoor space, in the same way ornaments
can indoors. Try not to go overboard with these, though -
one or two, depending on the size of your garden can work
very well.
Other outdoor rooms take the concept further with the addition
of pizza ovens, cocktail bars, water features, and pools.
