Combine rustic wood with natural jute and rattan, plus a palette of neutrals to create a serene outdoor space

-

RECONNECT WITH NATURE A natural palette of neutrals with terracotta touches will work in almost any outdoor space, and will have a soothing, calming effect. Combine with rattan furniture and fresh whites for a chilled Ibiza vibe. Black accents make the look modern.

LAYER UP SEATING WITH SOFT FURNISHING­S Just like you would in your living room, layer up your benches and armchairs with plenty of cushions for the ultimate spot for sundowners. Floor cushions are great for impromptu visiting friends and will add to the relaxed feel.

CONSIDER DIFFERENT TYPES OF SEATING Bench seating is great for squeezing on several small bums, so ideal for family mealtimes. Armchairs and coffee tables will bring a reading nook aesthetic and layered rugs will keep toes cosy come sunset.

LAYER UP TEXTURED ACCESSORIE­S Extend your indoor space by dressing your outdoor living area with thoughtful furniture choices and accessorie­s – such as tactile cushions and throws. Woven jute rugs are a hard-wearing yet on-trend option for patios and balconies.
