September 2017: As the southern hemisphere has seen the first phase of spring, it signals the start of not just a seasonal change but also the start of the outdoor entertainment season.
We all have our preferred entertainment set up – where family and friends gather for a braai, snacks around the pool or sundowners on the patio. With the sunny and warmer weather almost upon us, how do we ensure our outdoor space remains on-trend and contemporary yet simple? And what’s the best way to ensure your outdoor space is ready for summer?
Alon Sachs, co-founder of Mobelli Furniture + Living says creating the ultimate outdoor space is easy with the right furniture – there are key pieces for any outdoor space. Everyone acknowledges that sun protection is crucial and if your outdoor area is not undercover, an umbrella is definitely a must-have. And water resistant seating will also be quite handy when guests hop straight out of the pool.
“Know your space – that’s key. Feature a piece that makes a statement. If it’s a large piece crammed into a small space that’s a big no-no, find what works for you and your home,” says Sachs, who also recommends the following hassle-free options:
Extend and expand:
Define your patio with an extendable table with an innovative hidden extension piece that gives you the flexibility to add a few extra seats to your table should a few impromptu guests join for dinner.
Comfy and cosy:
Consider smaller pieces of furniture for that cosy look and feel and they have many advantages too – they move around with ease and make the space seem bigger than its actual size.
Drinks on wheels:
Your very own mini bar, tucked in a corner with all the X.Y.Z. And if the party moves from the patio to the pool, the drinks trolley can easily follow.
Beautifully lit:
Transform your entertainment space with wireless LED lights for a soothing, subtle atmosphere during dinner or a late-night round of drinks. And since adopting an eco-friendly approach is necessary to reduce our carbon footprint, solar lighting is the recommended choice.
