Alifurn Balmy Summer Days

What’s more wonderful than our balmy summer days and nights, you ask?

Well, ample space to entertain outdoors, of course!

Apart from a lovely alfresco dining area, outdoor drinks areas or bars are also gaining in popularity. Think sundowners watching the last of the sun sink into the Atlantic or listening to the sounds of the Highveld…

Yep, we are pretty spoiled for choice when it comes to natural beauty – and outdoor bar furniture, thanks to Alifurn, a leading local manufacturer and supplier of patio furniture.

The company stocks a wide selection of outside barstools and tables, including contemporary metal and woven-material designs, as well as more classic designs. Depending on your needs and style, you can create everything from a chic Parisian-inspired drinks table to a cool station for tapas and beer.

Here’s how:

For a lovely little spot to sip on Chardonnay, opt for the Adeline Bar Table and the super-comfy Andrea bar Stools with back- and armrests.

A more contemporary option is the black metal Beth Bar Table and Jane Bar Stools.

If you want to create a relaxed spot for beers and snacks, the Beth Bar Table and Crystal bar Stools are a great option. The pieces have a super relaxed design and are all very easy to clean!

Of course, if you have a built-in bar or outdoor kitchen island, you can choose to use that as a tabletop and add bar stools for your guests. Depending on the style of your existing space, you may want to go modern with the Scarlet bar Stool or more classic with the Ivy Bar Stool, available in four colour options.

Finish off your outdoor bar area with lights (rechargeable solar lights are a great option), a light throw for the evenings and an umbrella for daytime if it isn’t in a shady spot, as well as a pot plant or two.
