Patio dreaming

A slatted wooden pergola or covered outdoor area is perfect for diffusing the sun's rays while you gather around a large teak setting. Try Woodbury House for a similar dining setting and Bowerhouse for kantha cushions and throws.

Jody D'Arcy

Poolside cool

This garden makeover played up a wooden theme, including a compact timber setting on a sunken deck. Try Ikea for a similar dining setting.

Sue Stubbs

Grill master

A separate outdoor kitchen and large entertaining deck keeps you outside for longer and cooking in the fresh air. Try Temple & Webster for a similar setting.

Derek Swalwell

Vintage chic

Combine an eclectic collection of vintage furniture and accessories for a laid-back, colourful setting. Try Ebay for one-off rustic pieces and Ruby Star Traders for similar batik tablecloths.

Classic comfort

Look for deep and cushioned dining chairs you and your guests can relaxingly sink into. Try Domayne for a similar dining setting.
