Get the look: Making the most of your outdoor space

After a cold harsh winter, sunny days and long summer nights are beckoning and there’s no better time to head outdoors.

Decorative features for outdoor living are quickly becoming as popular as indoor decor, with increasing numbers of Northern Ireland homeowners beginning to extend their interior sanctuaries beyond the back door.

With the popularity of ‘Staycations’ continuing to rise, Rushmere Shopping Centre in Craigavon has all you need to create the perfect haven in your backyard, paradise on your patio or the perfect BBQ with family and friends over the summer months.

Garden furniture, such as the Debenhams Riviera two-seater, £549, gives an outdoor “living room” look to a patio or deck.

Bright tones are popular this year so inject some colour into your alfresco furniture with some vivid cushions such as Homebase’s stripe cushion — Calypso, £9.99.

Fabric parasols are the perfect accompaniment to your garden furniture and this Riviera parasol, £59, from Debenhams at Rushmere will help you stay cool in the summer sun.

And finally, get that cosy Moroccan feel in the garden by using lanterns and candles. Matalan at Rushmere stock a great selection of different varieties — all which will create a stunning backyard ambience long after the sun has set.

Outdoor Furniture for Modern Kids | Furniture Stores

Modern moms and dads want to raise healthy and happy kids even in urban areas. They would like their kids to develop physically as well as mentally. It would be good to provide your kids with opportunities for active and energy-filled playtime, whether alone or with the neighbors’ kids. The most practical thing to do is to invest in outdoor furniture or a backyard sandbox for your toddler. This will entertain your child for many hours each day, playing with a small plastic pail, shovel, and an array of small toy animals and people, with no need for you to participate.

Modern sandboxes no longer come in just plain squares or rectangles; they’re now available in amazing designs and themes like pirate-boat designs or gazebo shapes with matching sails or canopies to provide your child with shade. This all-weather feature can protect your child from sunburn or the sudden rain. With a sandbox, he or she can pretend to be a pirate on a beach, or other creative fantasy of the imagination.

All of this is very important part of this theme. Other outdoor furniture to stimulate children’s creativity include playhouses or small picnic sets with matching colorful umbrellas, where little girls would surely enjoy playing with their dolls. Setting this up in your backyard or patio, your child will surely be occupied for hours while under your watchful eye. There would no longer be any need to transport your kids to the park, mall or beach to have this recreational activity. Right in your backyard, you can set up Gorilla playsets or even jungle gyms, from the simplest to the most complex types, depending on the size of your space. These sets consist of an array of slides, tubes, ladders, ropes, hand rails and rings where your child and his or her playmates can dangle from like little monkeys. They even come with protective mats in case someone falls.

First Decide on Material What kind of materials do you like for outdoor furniture? Dont just base your decision on how it looks, although that’s a big consideration, too. Your weather plays a big role in determining if a material is good fit. So does the amount of care that a material needs. Some outdoor materials such as aluminum don’t need too much care, neither does teak or resin furniture. Wrought iron can last for a really long time and can take heat and moisture.

I first browsed around online & found style I liked in the price-point I could afford.. I then searched online for good coupon codes…. Put the items in my cart- used the coupon code & VIOLA.. We also went to the actual store to try out and SEE the actual furniture & make sure it was comfortable. Then went home & ordered it online.. SAVED about eigthy dollars ! Things to keep in mind: Types of weather Durability Storage when not in use Cushions or not? Type of table glass, metal or tile etc.
