Funk up your patio with bright colours and interesting shapes.
A patio or other outdoor space can become a second living area if you utilise it correctly. It’s important to use furniture, fabrics and accessories that can withstand the elements and are easy to clean and use – you don’t want to replace them every few years.
Sturdy furniture in neutral colours like grey or taupe can be brightened up with bold cushions and inexpensive outside lanterns. Use solar-powered or rechargeable lights to create atmosphere.
