Patio Warehouse: Balmy Evening

With the end of winter in sight, our thoughts are turning to hot summer days and balmy evenings spent outdoors once again.

To make the most of South Africa’s spectacular summer season, here the team from Patio Warehouse shares how to create the perfect outdoor living area, whether you have a huge backyard, a modest patio or a compact balcony.

Choose the right furniture

Start by picking the perfect furniture—it’s the first step to turning your outdoor space into a cosy, inviting hangout. Think comfort, durability, and style—because who says you can’t have it all?

Aluminium lounge sets, like the Arizona 4-Piece Lounge Sofa Set, are a fantastic option as it is lightweight, durable and resistant to rust and corrosion.

Add lights for more action

With the right lighting, your outdoor living room can become a magical retreat, perfect for evening get-togethers and late-night chill sessions. This can include string lights (try the Litehouse 10m LED Power Festoon Traditional Outdoor Bulb String Lights – 10 Bulbs), lanterns and candles. Don’t forget pathway lights for safety!

Don’t forget to accessorise!

Just like accessories can tie your living room together indoors, they can also tie together your outdoor space. Add personality and comfort to your outdoor living area with an outdoor rug, cushions and throws (opt for cushions with removable, washable covers to make maintenance easy) and potted plants.

Pssst, if you have space, an aluminium cushion storage box, such as the Mickey Cushion Box, is a great option for keeping outdoor accessories stored away safely and dust-free when not in use.

Add a personal touch

Last but not least, put your personal touch on your outdoor living space with quirky or unique works of art or objects that reflect your personality and interests. Personal touches can even include an outdoor bar or kitchen if you love to entertain or a music station if you enjoy playing DJ.

Patio Warehouse stocks a wide selection of premium outdoor furniture and accessories, including dining sets, lounge sets, bar sets, braais and accessories, including cushions, umbrellas, coolers and more.
