How To Create A Family Friendly Outdoor Space
A family-friendly outdoor space offers a little bit of something for everyone – a place for playing, socialising, eating and – of course – relaxing. Need some help getting started? Read on for our tips to help you design your dream setup this summer.
1. Have a designated dining space
Before picking out you table and chairs, consider your space and what you want it to do for you. If you have a smaller space like a patio or balcony, then go for something small and compact such as this Bistro Set. Or if you have a larger space with a lot of room to utilise you can go for a spacious corner set with lots of seating.
2. Be sun smart
If you’re spending a lot of time outside, it’s important to make sure that you can enjoy the warm weather but also that everyone is protected from the sun. Create a shady spot with a parasol over the table or angled over the outdoor sofa to provide a space to keep cool and have a break from the sun.
3. A spot for snoozing
Family life can be hectic, so it’s important to create a space that you (and the kids) can escape to. Adding a hanging chair is a fool proof way to turn an unutilised corner of your garden into a space to relax. Adding throws and cushions can up to comfort. If you have a bit more space to work with a day bed is the ultimate napping addition.
4. Date nights
Spending quality time together without the kids is important. So, dial up those date night vibes with a sink-in garden sofa. Looking to serve some food and drink? This corner set has a lovely dining table with built in firepit to keep warm and add some ambient lighting in the evenings and night. How romantic.
