Add a throw
A simple but effective solution: have warm throws to hand to extend the time you’ll want to spent outside
Give me shelter
A covered outdoor room – especially if it’s screened at the sides too – extends your indoor living areas and allows for a wide range of furniture and furnishings
Screen sensations
Give your space a sense of enclosure: slatted screens are a practical and inexpensive option
Comfort zone
Just as cushions and rugs add cosiness to your indoor space, so they’ll do the same for your outdoor zones; look for weatherproof materials for longevity
Under the eaves
Rattan has rustic appeal, is hard-wearing and on-trend, but add soft furnishings for long-lasting comfort
Sense of place
Having easy access to your outdoor zone will mean you’ll use it more; a servery window can be almost as effective as a full set of doors.
