Really enjoy the outdoors Written by: Lilly Jeffries
In Tassie, we don’t get many opportunities to really enjoy the outdoors – it’s either raining, too windy, or too hot in the direct sun (but only for five minutes and then it’s cold again!). Four seasons in one day, right? So, when the chance presents itself, we want to be relaxing on the deck with our family, playing backyard cricket, running through the sprinkler or enjoying great BBQ’s into the warm summer nights. With the onset of the horrific fires that have ravaged so much of our state in recent weeks, it’s important to be reminded of how lucky we are to have our homes. While we provide aid and support
to those affected, take the time to also be thankful for your own situation, to have a roof over your head and a backyard to enjoy. As the weather begins to turn, now is the time to make the most of those warm afternoons, while also preparing for the inevitable colder days. Adding a contemporary outdoor setting to your deck is a fantastic idea, as it’s so easy to make the snap decision to move the plates and cutlery outside to enjoy a lovely sunset over dinner. Outdoor settings come in so many sizes and great designs, with multiple options that will suit your home and lifestyle.
There are many other ways to jazz up your outdoor area for entertaining, or just for your own enjoyment. Always dreamed of having a hot tub to relax in and wash away the stress of the day? There are so many affordable designs – you won’t regret a purchase you can enjoy all year round. What about a Balinesestyle hut to dress up your yard? Perfect shade from the burning Tassie sun, while adding a tropical feel to any space. You could place a day bed beneath, or a simple table and chairs – add a different view to your morning coffee, there’s nothing like fresh air to wake you up for the day ahead.
What about the classic Aussie past-time, the humble barbeque. The easiest way to prepare a family meal, with the added bonus of enjoying the summer weather, plus no meaty smells hanging around inside for days after. Fantastic compact designs perfect for the urban couple or one for the whole family, friends and the neighbours – choices are endless. There’s been a big (and recurring) summer trend that’s popular with all ages- the festival. What about having your own fiesta with the family? It’s as simple as pulling out some blankets or picnic rugs, a couple of pillows and TA-DA! You have your own backyard festival set-up. If you want to amp it up a

bit, throw together some platters of your favourite snacks, rig up a sheet and grab a projector for your own private outdoor cinema. Perfect for kids sleepovers, a night with the girls or family movie night. Bring the comfort of indoors, outdoors. It’s easy. Let’s talk about heating. No one likes being cold at a party, but often it happens in Tassie. Avoid the chill with a range of amazing outdoor heating options, such as gas, wood and electric. There’s nothing like the cosy atmosphere a fire brings, as it can make all the difference to enjoying the outdoors after the sun goes down. Gas heaters are easy to move around for ultimate comfort, and contemporary electric outdoor heaters look impressive and won’t leave a massive dent in the power bill. Keep your family warm and enjoy that stunning Tassie night sky with the easy addition of some outdoor heating. Pizza ovens are also taking off because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love pizza? You’ll have an easy dinner option that everyone will enjoy yearround with your own pizza oven – awesome. Been thinking of doing up the yard for a while? Now is the time to do it. There are only a limited number of warm days left – so enjoy them as much as you can with some easy and affordable additions to your backyard space. Plus, when the winter chill sets in, you’ll be warm and comfortable with some great heating, or that coveted hot tub. Play, relax, eat, drink, do it all – it’s up to you.

How to keep summer going in your home
Tassie summers are never long enough. Or, they’re broken up by random rainy days, lightning storms or ridiculous cloud cover. To keep that happy summer vibe going as long as possible, here’s some helpful hints to help you keep the Autumn chill at bay from inside, out.
• S witching to a new colour scheme Been thinking about re-painting the lounge or master bedroom? Now is the perfect time to play around with a colour change – the weather is still warm enough to throw all the windows open, paint up a storm and have it dry quickly and easily. Consider warm tones, shades of yellow or orange that will pick up the colours of the changing leaves outside. These tones will make your rooms feel brighter, even with the weak winter sun as the only natural light over the coming months.
• Bringing summer flavours indoors Crisp, colourful salads, tangy juices, refreshing smoothies and fragrant marinades – the flavours of summer are delectable. Bring the enthusiasm for easy, satisfying meals into the cooler months with your own indoor herb garden. Inexpensive and easy to set up, an indoor herb garden is a really simple way to add vibrancy to any meal. Snap off a few mint leaves and add them to your herbal tea, crush up some oregano or basil and transport your senses to Italy, try adding lemon verbena to baked fish or ice cream for an extra tang. With options abound, you can have a selection of greens growing by the day on your kitchen bench, ready for a quick salad, soup or sauce. The flavours of summer can be yours, even when you’re shuffling around in your track pants and Ugg boots.
• Blooms all year round There’s just something about having fresh flowers inside that evokes a sense of peace, not to mention they brighten any dull room instantly. The benefits of having potted flowers or a few blooms in a vase have been widely researched, studies finding flowers reduce anxiety. A bunch of lavender can aid in a good night’s sleep, as it’s been proven to reduce blood pressure and lower your heart rate, which helps you relax. Plus, just like your sense of smell, colours evoke certain emotions. We all have a favourite colour, one that instantly lifts our mood, so consider having a vase of flowers in your favourite hue next to your bed or on the desk where you work for an instant boost.
• Light the way It seems like an obvious one, but increasing the light inside your
home will definitely brighten those dreary winter days. There are so many modern lamps available and materials such as brass and silver work well with all styles and add a sparkle to your décor. The romantic vibes from a lovely scented candle will also do the trick in cheering up any room and accessories such as coloured photo frames with reflective details will also catch the light. Strategically placing a mirror in any room as a feature will make the space feel bigger and similarly reflect any light, natural or otherwise. You don’t have to resign yourself to the couch and TV, there are so many ways you can easily alter your space and make it feel like summer never really ends. Colour, light, plants and fragrances – create a summer home, year round. Written by: Lilly Jeffries
