Outdoor Oasis in
Small Spaces

Bring some laid-back, sun-drenched vibes to your outdoors with stylish and comfortable pieces for relaxing and entertaining.

There’s nothing better than enjoying some alfresco dining at home with friends and family and savouring the sunshine.

As the weather really warms up and the days stretch out, it’s the perfect time to make the most of your outdoors. And with the right furniture and styling, it’s easy to make your home look more open and spacious.

Whether you’ve got a sprawling garden that can play host to backyard cricket or a bite-size balcony, we’ve assembled some great pieces for entertaining in spaces big and small.

Small time heroes

Make your small space feel bigger with clever placement of minimal furniture and accessories.

When you’re working with a small area, it’s important to steer clear of chunky or heavy-looking furniture. Instead, choose pieces that look light and airy. Wire-framed or woven rattan furniture are great options to create the look and feel of more space. Simply pair them with soft furnishings — a comfortable cushion or a cosy throw — to soften the look.

Other excellent space savers like bar style dining and extension tables work well to give you extra dining space when you need it. Clever pieces that do double-duty — an ottoman as a coffee table and a footstool, for example — are also smart buys. And above all, make sure your seating is comfortable and welcoming.
