Revamping Your Outdoor Space
COUTURE Africa|October 2018

Outdoor living rooms have lately been popping up all over Instagram and Pinterest. They have now become one of the top three spaces within the home that get renovated to improve lifestyle and value of the property. We also all want to spend as much time outside as possible and an inviting outdoor space is an excellent way to bring your family and friends together.

Revamping Your Outdoor Space

When it comes to sprucing your outdoor décor, a great philosophy is to work with what you already have. There are ways to spruce up your backyard, patio or porch without necessarily making big, structural changes. Whether you want your space party-ready or just creating a relaxing oasis for yourself, here are tips to increase your home’s value and create more space without spending a fortune;

Treat Out Like In

Your outdoor space should be an extension of your indoor living environment. All the aspects of living that you enjoy in your indoors can be translated to the outdoors. Depending on your space try a comfy outdoor sectional. This piece allows for ample room and comfort for all. Create a comfortable and relaxing oasis with signature pieces such comfortable chairs and coaches. Pull throw off your couches and drape them over chairs outside. Choose decor from your coffee table and mix it with fresh-cut flowers for an interesting centerpiece. You could also continue colors used in your home’s interior to the outside space in order to have a seamless connection between the two spaces. Do not be afraid to play around with items you already own.

What's Your Shade?

I have seen many a red in my time. Some have made me cringe. If it weren’t for the exceptionally high maintenance of red colour, I would run home and shampoo it all off. Some have been stunners, blessedly. You would imagine women with darker complexion would not be able to rick blonde and red shades. Would you be surprised if I told you there is a wide range of colour you can experiment with?
