Five pretty outdoor seating ideas for Summer.
Balmy evenings, golden sunsets…what’s not to love about summer in South Africa?
To help you enjoy it even more, here outdoor furniture stockist, Mon Exteriors shares five Pinterest-worthy outdoor seating ideas to create a picture-perfect patio.
- Create an outdoor lounge
Who says sofas, coffee tables and rugs are for inside only? Take the indoor-outdoor concept up a notch by creating a comfortable lounge outdoors.Check out these great outdoor lounge furniture options. We especially love the Portals Sofa Set. Made from teak ad rust-proof aluminium with Olefin-upholstered cushions, it will see you through this Summer and many more in style. - Construct a firepit with built-in seating
What is cosier than ending off the day around a fire with your loved ones? To make it extra comfy, consider adding built-in seating – it’s easy to maintain and hassle-free. Make it super comfy with cushions covered in weatherproof fabrics.
4. Add a pop of colour
There’s no need to be bland outdoors – add cushions and throws to chairs for comfort and colour.
5. Create a dedicated alfresco dining area
We can’t think of anything prettier than a beautiful candle-lit dining table under a vine-covered pergola for summer dinners.To ensure you get the most out of your outdoor dining area, invest in quality furniture, such as these dining sets, and an outdoor kitchen unit, to avoid having to go back and forth to the kitchen all evening.
6. Splash out on a pool lounge
A pool lounge is a great idea – apart from keeping wet bodies of your outdoor lounge furniture, it can also function as a second seating area. Make sure to add enough sun loungers, umbrellas and storage for pool toys and towels.
