Extend Your Outdoor Living Into Autumn

 

 

 

It’s always a little sad to say goodbye to summer, but the autumn season brings with it a bounty of relaxing and entertaining opportunities. Rest assured that it’s easy to extend the life of your outdoor space even as the evenings cool off into autumn. Use these décor and entertainment ideas to help make the most of autumn:

Add Inviting Accents and Colours

With cooler weather setting in, it’s the perfect time to make your space feel warmer and more inviting. Consider adding décor touches like an earth-toned outdoor rug to warm up the cold paved or decked area, or add outdoor throw cushions and pillows to accent your furniture.

If you prefer, add a splash of autumn colour with new cushion coverings and other outdoor accessories. Colours like orange, gold, yellow and rust are vibrant choices. Now might be the right time to pick up extra outdoor chairs as well. Outdoor benches are another easy way to add more seating, and they can double as storage boxes.

Update Your Outdoor Furniture

Your outdoor furniture has seen plenty of use over the long summer; is it ready to be updated? The Outdoor Furniture Ideas Autumn Sale is in full swing, so it’s the perfect time to pick up a new outdoor dining setting, outdoor modular lounge, wicker furniture or garden furniture. We also have plenty of aluminium outdoor furniture options and outdoor settings made of innovative-engineered materials. There’s no better feeling than being wrapped up and sinking into a comfy outdoor lounge on a cool evening.

Make It Toasty

An outdoor heater can help to ensure those evening get-togethers will stay comfortable and cosy well into the night. There is a range of different options available to keep you and your guests warm out on the patio, from gas patio heaters to electric ceramic models that can be fixed permanently to your wall or ceiling.

Other options for warming things up include an outdoor fireplace or fire pit. Fireplaces can be as ornate as you wish and incorporated into the existing stonework on your property. There are freestanding fire pit designs that can be moved as needed with many available in funky laser-cut designs. These options set the stage for many fun conversations and memories around the fire as well as roasting marshmallows and singing songs.

Add Elegant Lighting

One of the signs of autumn is shorter days. However, you can address the earlier sunsets by adding more lighting to your patio. Pathway and stairway lighting is always a good idea for additional safety on your property. Stringing elegant small white lights on your trees, bushes, trellises and railings can add a magical effect.

A Signature Autumn Drink

Consider creating a special seasonal autumn drink to serve to your family members and guests. Gourmet apple cider can be refreshing, or consider mixing up a special hot toddy with cinnamon to sip in the evenings. Hot chocolate is another favourite for guests of all ages; you can make a white chocolate version with a touch of vanilla for the grown-ups.

Whether you’re in Sydney or in the country, outdoor dining and entertaining isn’t just for summer. Extend the enjoyment of your patio and outdoor settings into the autumn months by updating your space with a new aluminium outdoor furniture set, outdoor modular lounge, wicker furniture or garden furniture. Outdoor chairs and key accessories can also enhance the abundant autumn atmosphere.
