INSIDE OUT

Outdoor furniture has come a long way since the metal designs of years gone by. Outdoor rooms are now seen as an extension of our home and as comfortable places to relax and entertain. With this in mind, many of the largest indoor furniture manufacturers are applying the same levels of style, quality and comfort to their outdoor furniture ranges.

BALCONY LIVING

To tempt buyers away from houses and into apartments, many new developments are incorporating outdoor spaces into their plans, however limited. With balcony living on the rise, small, practical solutions such as foldable chairs and coffee tables have been given an injection of style and colour, to help lift the smallest of outdoor spaces.
