Outside Space

El espacio Exterior

Designing outdoor rooms doesn’t require a different skill set from designing regular interior spaces however, it does require a little knowledge of products, finishes and materials that can look beautiful, be comfortable, and withstand the elements of wind, water and lots of sun. Let’s take the typical interior and break it into parts and compare it to how you would design an outdoor room of equal design. Probably the most important thing that makes an outdoor space become an outdoor room is comfortable furniture. The options in outdoor furniture are vast and meet every design style and functional requirement. Some options are teak, synthetic resin rattan, aluminium, cast, and more recently fully upholstered lounge product. Keep in mind how you intend to use the outdoor space, and

Ahora que ha llegado el buen tiempo, nuestra atención se centra en los jardines y espacios exteriores, convirtiéndolos en salones de exterior. Diseñar espacios exteriores no requiere una habilidad diferente de los espacios interiores, sin embargo si requiere un poco de conocimiento de los productos, acabados y materiales que sean bonitos, cómodos y resistentes a los elementos como el viento, agua y mucho sol. Cojamos un interior típico y dividámoslo en partes y compraremos como lo diseñaríamos para un espacio exterior de mismo diseño. Probablemente la cosa más importante que hace de un espacio exterior un salón exterior es la comodidad del mobiliario. Las opciones de mobiliario de exterior son vastas y se hay todo tipo de estilo, diseño y funcionalidad deseada. u plan accordingly. Also, allowing the spaces to have multifunctions will make them more useful to you and your guests. Depending on the size of your space, incorporating a mix of lounge chairs, and dining height tables and seating allow for outdoor meals, games or an impromptu office space. A further and often overlooked element is floor coverings. Adding an outdoor rug to your outdoor room helps define the space. Just like you would use an area rug over your hardwood floors in your interior living room, you should likewise

Algunas opciones son madera de Teca, resina sintética de junco de India, aluminio, fundido, y más reciente productos de salón totalmente tapizados. Piensa como quieres utilizar el espacio exterior, y planéalo conforme a esa idea. También, creando espacios multifuncionales serán de mayor uso para ti y tus invitados. Dependiendo del tamaño del espacio, incorporando una mezcla de sillas y mesas altas para comer fuera, juegos o una oficina improvisada. Otro elemento a menudo olvidado es el suelo. Añadiendo una u u alfombra de exterior ayuda a definir el espacio. Lo mismo que si usa una alfombra para cubrir una madera fea en tu salón, igual puedes hacer afuera. La material más duradera para alfombras de exterior es polipropileno que aguanta mucho el uso, y no absorbe agua y humedad, resistente a las manchas y el sol y de fácil limpieza. El elemento final es la iluminación. Cuando se ponga el sol, todavía quieres seguir disfrutando de tus espacios exteriores así ilumínalos adecuadamente. No hay nada más use a rug outdoors. The most durable material for outdoor rugs is polypropylene which can take a lot of wear and tear, does not absorb water or moisture, is highly stain and fade resistant and can be scrubbed down to clean. The final element of your outdoor space is lighting. When the sun goes down, you will still want to use your outdoor spaces so make sure they are properly lit. There is nothing more ambient than the light produced by candles so, fill your space with lanterns. I love large lanterns that allow for several pillar candles at once, the more the better as far as I am concerned. Another clever lighting option is elegant solar powered twinkle lights and of course, because they are solar powered, there is no hassle with power cords and cables. ambiental que las velas, así que llena el espacio con faroles. Me encantan las farolas grandes donde puedes meter varias velas a la vez, cuanto más mejor en mi opinión. Otra buena opción son las lamparitas solares y naturalmente, siendo solares no hace falta ningún cableado o enchufes. En España pasamos tanto tiempo fuera como dentro. Un espacio bien planeado y amueblado te hará disfrutar durante muchos años. Así que planéalo en detalle e intenta ser tan creativo fuera como dentro de tu hogar.

In Spain we spend as much time in our outdoor space as we do our indoor space. A well planned and furnished space will give you enjoyment for many years to come. So plan well and try to be as creative outside your home as you are inside.

Imaginehaving family and friends over for a BBQ or birthday party. You’ve decorated your space with outdoor rugs and patio string lights and it looks nice and cozy. The only thing left to do is turn on the outdoor heater or firing up a firepit, or both. Everyone is laughing and having a great time and most importantly, staying warm. Sound good? You bet it does! Get a patio heater and you’ll be enjoying your outdoor living space all year round. However, before you rush out and buy the first one you come to, take a moment or two and consider the options. There are many varieties and styles and fuel options, so you will need to do a little homework before you choose, as you will need to be sure about your preferences. Outdoor heaters come in different types, shapes, sizes and colors. Additionally, outdoor heaters require fuel or power to operate. The three most popular forms of fuel or power are gas, wood and electric.

Electricity is often the easiest option as many homes have electric points on their patio walls. Electric patio heaters may not emit as much heat as those powered by gas but they’re great for small spaces! Outdoor heaters that run on propane are very common. Why? Because all you do is take an empty propane tank to a local supplier and swap it for a full one. And since it’s stored in the base of your patio heater, your guests won’t even see it. There is an incredible variety of styles and designs when it comes to gas heaters for your patio. If you want a wider coverage, consider a freestanding outdoor heater. They’re made up of a base, pole, heat source, and reflector. They’re reasonably compact but do take up floor space which needs to be considered.

Tabletop heaters are mostly electric and can make a great accent to your outdoor living space. They’re small and don’t take up much space. However, their size means they cover less area and emit less heat. But if you want to create an intimate setting where you
