Set up your outdoors for spring gatherings

Spring days call for embracing the afternoon’s warmer weather and hosting soirées in your outdoor space.

Get ready for days by the pool and afternoons in spring sun and longer daylight hours by updating your outdoor entertaining area.

For an instant update you can switch up your outdoor furniture. When doing this, consider the space you have to work with.

Whether you have a three-acre backyard and an Olympic pool and 50-metre deck, or just a little outdoor space, a comfortable outdoor couch and a small coffee table can be all you need to make a space inviting.

Oz Design’s newest outdoor range provides the perfect trendy pieces to make even the smallest outdoor space seem big enough to host a grand final weekend barbecue.

The range’s woods, striking stone and simple, contemporary shapes keep us in a summer state of mind and the new season of outdoor furniture features light colours that make a space feel bigger.

With striking white and grey stone tables and trendy outdoor couches that don’t skip on comfort, it’s easy to make the backyard pool deck the perfect place for a family deck for outdoor dinners or days spent by the pool, and no outdoor dinner goes without the perfect wooden dining table and deck chairs.

Days are warming up but spring evenings are still on the chilly side. Find a balance between seasons with an outdoor evening paired with an outdoor firepit.

At Schots Home Emporium, outdoor heating comes in all shapes and sizes, with a range of cast iron fire pits in rust, black or copper and chimineas.
