WHERE EVERYBODY’S WELCOME
Your outdoor furnishing choices ultimately come down to your personal needs, says Justine. “An outdoor dining table is wonderful for those late-night summer dinners, whereas a lounge set will encourage relaxing and gathering, and sunloungers are fab for getting some vitamin D. If you have enough space, try to incorporate dining and sitting areas so you have the best of both.” This spectacular space (opposite) is geared entirely around entertaining – whether you’re swimming, socialising, dining or lounging, it’s full of nooks for connecting with loved ones. This kind of multiple-zone entertaining area opens up possibilities galore: from drinks on the lounge (get the look at Freedom), to bar-style dining or a kip on the plush sunloungers (try Domayne). Big-picture inspiration aside, don’t lose sight of the details – for instance, keep potted mint close at hand for garnishing cocktails and candles burning to cast an ambient glow. After all, it’s the little things that will make a night to remember.
