We Are Throwing Shade AT BORING PATIOS
Liven up your outdoor living space and embrace our wonderful weather.
It’s (nearly) always sunny in South Africa
We are blessed with at least 8 to 10 hours of daily sunshine throughout South Africa, and we have a national rainfall average that is half that of the rest of the world. This means that South Africa is one of the countries in the world that is best suited to outdoor living.
With this in mind, let’s look at some of the outdoor trends for this summer
Outdoor office/gym
We finally have more clarity about what the office life of the future looks like. Even with Covid restrictions lifted, many companies are at least embracing a sort of hybrid Work-from-home model. Why not embrace this and move your office to the patio?
A change of scenery might do you some good and the fresh air will definitely promote creative problem solving…Instead of being stuck at the dining room table, invest in a proper patio dining set and take your meetings al fresco!
Drinks Ahoy!
Bar fridge. Need we say more? Just don’t mix this trend with the first one…no-one needs to see your party face on that Teams meeting. Shop around for one that suits your style, and pocket.
Bring the indoors outdoors
With bringing your office outside why not look at some creative lighting options or even one of the new “Outdoor” rugs? These rugs add flair and comfort to any patio floor surface and are extremely weather resistant.
2. 3. 4.
Another must have
for making the most of the sunshine is ample and comfortable seating.
This is the time to move away from anything that will make you sit upright, and consider some hippie-style seating closer to the ground.
These weather-proof, comfortable and diverse modular outdoor sofas by Vetsak have got us all giddy for summer.
