You’ll hit the roof

It’s important to consider shade in an exposed site. Look for shade sail systems that can easily open and retract with the push of a button. With such ease, you’ll want to spend all your time outdoors.

Choose modern furniture pieces, such as these Tio dining chairs, to add a touch of sophistication.

To give the illusion of a bigger space, line the sides of your area with planter boxes or troughs. This will help blur the boundaries.

Outdoor cushions are ideal for adding a sense of cosiness and visual appeal. Look for fun geometric prints and pair with neutral colours for balance.

Who says you can’t decorate the outdoors like the indoors? Here, a tiled splashback adds life to the cooking area.

Go big in small spaces! Use large pots for impact and plant with advanced trees to make a statement and provide shade.
