There’s no denying that Australians do outdoor living well. We’re renowned for making the most of the sunshine, whether it’s crisp winter sun or a sweltering summer heat. But these harsh conditions can impact the way we enjoy the outdoors.
Because of this, when planning and designing your outdoor living space, it’s worth taking into consideration what will withstand the conditions and make your outdoor space both more usable and enjoyable year-round.
If you’re planning on refreshing your outdoor space, these are our top suggestions to maximise comfort and use.
Create a versatile space with shading solutions
Traditional umbrellas and awnings try their best to keep us shaded. But where they often fall short is in their ability to adapt to the changing position of the sun. Not to mention, they often don’t provide enough shade for all guests.
If you’re considering turning your outdoor space into a true outdoor living room, investing in Luxaflex’s MagnaTrack will mean you’re able to use the space year-round with ultimate comfort.
Designed to provide protection from sun, glare, wind, rain and insects, the MagnaTrack works to create a comfortable outdoor space. For any alfresco areas including patios, verandahs and balconies you want to add the MagnaTrack to, Luxaflex offers a consultation and measurement to ensure you get a perfectly customised shade solution.
And thanks to the patented side retention system, the fabric stays secure within the tracks, making it an easy-to-use, convenient system to protect you from the elements year-round.
Consider outdoor heating and cooling options
There’s plenty of sunshine throughout winter, but those crisp days often mean we want to be inside where it’s warmer. Instead of shying away from outdoor winter dining, extend your time outdoors with an outdoor heating solution.
Plus with the MagnaTrack, you can block out some of the blistering winds.
The outdoor blinds also work to keep the inside temperature more stable. Especially in summer, keeping the space cool is a breeze – simply close your outdoor blinds to keep the sun and the heat at bay. You’ll find you’re using your aircon and fans less, saving on your electricity bills.
Prioritise comfort and durability when choosing furniture
Because you’ll be extending your time outdoors enjoying your new spaces, prioritise finding comfortable furniture. Think plush cushions designed to withstand the elements and frame materials such as metal and timber, that are engineered to last. And consider the decor details and soft furnishings that can be easily adapted depending on the season.
So, whether you’re looking to completely renovate your outdoor area or are just planning a refresh, it only takes a few considered additions to overhaul the area giving you an invitation to year-round outdoor living.
