VIVA OUTDOOR LIVING - Interior Decorating Tips For November 2009!

“COMBINE STYLE WITH COMFORT, ADD A LITTLE BIT OF OUTDOOR MAGIC AND THE MOOD IS SET FOR AN INVITING OUTDOOR RETREAT!”

The patio - By clever planning and a bit of effort, the patio area can easily be turned into an outdoor extension of the living areas.
Patio furniture is usually the focal point of this area – Variations are endless; from feather light aluminum, stainless steel, wood to plastics! For a really weather resistance guarantee be sure to use only 100 % solution dyed acrylic fabrics for your cushions! These outdoor fabrics should be Teflon coated, be water, oil, stain and even mildew resistant!

Bright ideas for outdoor living

* Braais
A fast growing trend as an alternative for a build- in or free-standing braai is to install a mini outdoor kitchen. These comprise a grill island that comes complete with a build in sink, preparation space and a bar fridge. It has never been easier!

* Lighting
Create a sufficient and pleasing nightscape by installing enough lighting. Use citronella candles for unwanted guests and fairy lights to bring in romantic charm

* Water features
A fountain or small water feature will add a sumptuous feel. Running water also helps to obscure outside noises and create a relaxing atmosphere.

* Heating
By installing an outdoor fireplace or by using a free-standing gas alternative the patio area can be used even through winter. Mexican clay pots add both atmosphere and warmth!

* Storage
Include a mini storage facility or a large cupboard to store away detailed items like hammocks, burners, outdoor chandeliers, etc.
