Revamping an outdoor area

Whether you have a courtyard, balcony or veranda, an outdoor area is a great place to socialise, entertain and eat meals on balmy spring evenings.  

But after another cold, long winter your outdoor area might be in need of a style revamp!

If your outdoor setting is looking a bit drab or your backyard needs a bit of garden landscaping, now is the perfect time to makeover your home's exterior.

Faux bamboo is becoming increasingly popular material for outdoor furniture. It's hardy and aesthetically appealing nature is the perfect addition to a veranda or balcony. Most settings also have cushion covers that can be removed during wet weather.

Timber outdoor settings are timeless, practical and look great in almost any environment.

Whether you go for a bench type setting or table and chairs, there are so many different varieties to appeal to everyone's tastes.

Modular sofa settings are another great choice for an outdoor area - adjustable to suit a specific space and flexible to change as you feel.

Once you have your furniture sorted, it's time to get busy in the garden - maybe injecting some colour into the backyard! Spring is the perfect time to start planting, whether it is herbs, vegetables, palms or flowers.
