Outdoor Lounges
When summer rolls around, all we want to do is spend as much time as we can outdoors. One way to make this happen is to create an outdoor lounge, where morning coffees are enjoyed alfresco and evening wines are poured as the sun goes down.
Key to this relaxed outdoor room setting is a comfortable couch that can weather the heat and rain. We love ELLISON STUDIOS.’ Alva Outdoor 2 Seat Sofa with its charming pinstripe pattern, which matches perfectly with the Earth Outdoor Cocktail Table.
Early Settler’s Milly Sofa Set is a great L-shaped option for creating a ‘room’ in your backyard, to delineate outdoor lounging from outdoor dining.
And, as an outdoor armchair option, look to Jati’s Bath Reclining Teak Lounge Chair — a staple for any outdoor room.
Poolside Hangs
There are things in life that are better as pairs, and pools and sun loungers are one such combo. Nothing screams summer relaxation more than reclining on a sunlounger with a drink in one hand and a great novel in the other.
For versatility, look to Cult’s Riviera Lounge, which can change its configuration to be a lounger, sofa, table or even chair and table together.
Tait’s Billy Sunlounge hits the perfect combination of nostalgia and contemporary design with its feature front wheels inspired by billy carts.
And for a proper return to ’70s leisure, look no further than The Sunliner Lounger by Business & Pleasure — a lightweight, foldable lounger with the signature PVC straps in charming vintage colourways.
Casual Zones
As with any indoor space, there will be smaller areas of your backyard that aren’t quite right for outdoor dining, or don’t have enough space for a full outdoor lounge room.
Instead, these areas are perfect ‘casual zones’ to pop a beanbag or two, and set up a couple of armchairs with a small coffee table, or place a smaller couch.
Think of these zones as places to retreat, where you can enjoy your backyard, garden, or courtyard from an angle you wouldn’t normally see.
The Torakina Outdoor 2-Seater Lounge Set by Koala and Basil Bangs’ Bean Bags are the perfect items for such spots.
