Decide on your colour palette and you will find a theme
Depending on your newly installed patio, as well as the overall look of your home, it can be easy to start by deciding on which hues you most want to see in your outdoor living space. Beige, brown, and cream can give off an earthy, homey feel, and would go best with wooden accents and soft textures. Or, if you wish to really emphasise your Australian lifestyle, using colours like ocean blue and bright white, with rope accents and bright beach towels are thrown over your outdoor furniture like a throw rug can really underscore that coastal feel.
Invest in stylish yet comfortable all-weather seating
When looking for outdoor furniture to fill your space, make sure that it is UV resistant and made from a material that can withstand harsh Australian Summers and Winters for minimal fuss – this is especially the case if you don’t have space to bring in your furniture inside in the wet season. You can also look into lounge covers, or installing stratco outback pergola blinds to keep out the elements, as well as choosing furniture that isn’t as susceptible as fabric to moisture retention and moulds, like bamboo, rattan, or metal.
