Plaisir du jardin: Top Tips to Take the Indoors Out

In South Africa, we are spoiled with beautifully moderate climates and stunning outdoor landscapes to enjoy all year round. For many of us, outdoor living is very much a part of the South African lifestyle. Thanks to Plaisir du Jardin you can now easily create the ideal outdoor space with these simple tips to bring the indoors outside!

First, consider the layout of your space – whether on a patio, outdoor deck, balcony or any other available outdoor space. Consider the size and position of this area before you invest in quality outdoor furniture. Let the size and position dictate the layout and furnish it accordingly. Next, consider the functions you wish to fulfil in your outdoor spaces? Do you need a lavish space to unwind next to the pool, an outdoor braai area or simply just a patio seating section to soak up the sun? Consider the activities that will take place in your space and opt for furniture to maximise and not hinder these functions. Let the design and colour of your interior space flow to the outdoors – this will be an extension of your personality and design style. Choose colours and textures you love and that will complement the natural landscape of your garden or patio area. Next, consider how you will maximise shaded areas outdoors. Invest in quality umbrellas that are mobile and can work in different outdoor zones as needed.

Similarly, add an outdoor carpet for instant appeal outdoors. This adds warmth and cosiness to an otherwise cold outdoor environment. For those beautiful South African sunsets, invest in quality outdoor lighting so that you can enjoy the splendid evenings after dusk. Lighting helps to create an ambience and is also a must-have if you plan to entertain outside after dark.
