5 current trends that will make your outdoor area ideal for summer entertaining

Don’t panic, you’ve still got time to get your outdoor area summer ready. So what’s hot this season?

5 current trends that will make your outdoor area ideal for summer entertaining

1. Mixing bench seats and chairs. While practical, it also gives an inviting look to outside – especially if you keep the styling simple. You don’t need 10 vases on the tabletop and water fountain statues clogging up the floor. Keep it so clean and simple, then it’s simple to clean.

2. Keep the furniture neutral and have a more than just one option of coloured cushions so you can rotate to suit your mood or occasion. Texture is big this year – like the rope featured on the arms – let that be your focus and leave your yellow -neon -pineapple cushions back in 2012 where they belong.

3. Natural finishes like Italian ceramic tabletops are very much the look of the moment – especially in this year’s strong grey trend. There’s something totally sophisticated about a monochrome setting even down to the decorator.

4. You can now get modular outdoor suites that have flexible arrangements that can be arranged and rearranged to suit your entertaining area and the number of guests. Loving this one in the colours of the Greek Islands.

5. Outdoor Cushions. Prints, stripes, patterns, botanicals – the easiest way to change you outdoor look  is to  update your outdoor cushions, and this summer,  the look is bold and bright and we could not be happier…
