Outdoor sittings are the best place to enjoy a cup of coffee and spend leisure time. Architect Onal Kothari helps you with tips to get into comfortable mode with your outdoor sitting.
- Level up with some thoughtful additions: Outdoor sitting space is more than a lounging space, it could be an entertaining zone, reading corner and can be utilized for family meals, especially in rains deserving your attention. You can add some paintings, candles and vases or any home decor items.
- Colour palette: Turn the outdoor space into a world of relaxation and love by incorporating your favourite colour scheme. Home exterior style, owner’s mood, garden statements should be given preference while deciding on a colour palette.
- Hammocks and rocking chairs: Hammocks and rocking chairs are never out of fashion when it comes to styling outdoor sittings. They are the easiest way to update your yard into a space for relaxation. Depending on the area provided and personal choice, you can select the best or both as nap partner which can be a great end to your day.
- Create privacy: Add fence to enclose your outdoor sitting area as well as to block direct view from the street. It brings a certain level of comfort and gives a sense of cosiness.
- Outdoor lightning: Lanterns and candles are always a playful addition to your outdoors. You can also hang some tiny light cards to your place, vertical light on walls or simple hanging lights.
- Outdoor rugs: Depending on the weather condition of your location, you can add textiles on sitting square foot spaces. You can use this on your outdoor sitting space if you are a deck owner.
- Pillows on floor: Add colours to your floors with floor pillows and pouff, especially if you want to give it a traditional touch. Floor pouffs work well with urban and rural settings and never go out of trend.
- Mix and match: You can have weather resistant daybed, traditional rocking chair, colour pop hammock or varieties of chair. It is not necessary to buy new furniture for your outdoors. Spray paint your furniture and use them to re-decorate outdoor sittings in a perfectly mix and match manner.
- The climate factor: Add fire-pits, heaters, floor fans or simply umbrellas with respect to the microclimate affecting your outdoor spaces. Know your surrounding and budget to create the perfect outdoor sittings.
