AS summer ushers in golden, sunkissed days and warmer weather, we naturally feel more inclined to be more physically and socially active.
In readiness for the festive season and to indulge our more energised selves, summer is the perfect season to revamp our outdoor living and entertaining spaces; and wouldn’t it be nice to do so without overstressing the budget!
Here is some fun, yet simple and cost-effective ways to reframe your outdoor living areas this summer:
1. Hang artwork: Choose pieces that resonate with your style, whether it’s framed prints or canvas paintings.
2. Add throw pillows: Use colourful outdoor fabric to create or buy pillows that bring warmth and vibrancy to your seating area.
3. DIY decorations: Get crafty with materials you have on hand. Consider:
a. Wooden pallets: Transform them into signs or rustic wall art.
b. Painted rocks: Use them as whimsical garden markers.
4. Incorporate nature: Use natural elements to enhance your decor:
a. Gather stones, seashells, or driftwood for centrepieces.
b. Frame pressed flowers or leaves for a unique display.
5. Lighting ambiance: Install string lights or lanterns to create a magical atmosphere for evening gatherings.
5. Personalised planters: Paint or decorate planters with quotes or vibrant designs to make them stand out.
6. Hanging decor: Add interest with wind chimes, lanterns, or potted plants suspended from hooks or trellises.
