Spring and summer are every Australian’s favourite seasons, as it is the time to enjoy sunny days and warm evenings at home. Whether a stylish outdoor lounge or outdoor dining, it is important to create a welcoming outdoor space with the right alfresco furniture. With beautiful alfresco furniture, you can extend your living room to the terrace and achieve a greater space for gathering and relaxing. To achieve a cosy and laid-back mood, you can simply replicate the homely elements of your living space to the outdoor requirements. Such as rattan furniture with removable seat cushions and teak wood tables, both from durable and weather resistant materials.
When it comes to choosing alfresco furniture for your home, you should consider pieces that provide high functionality as well as great comfort. In our guide below, you will find some guidance on choosing the right outdoor furniture, as well as some alfresco furniture ideas.
When thinking of extending your living room to an alfresco lounge, you will find many ideas for styling your outdoor space. The most important factor for alfresco furniture is to consider the characteristics of the material. Alfresco furniture is exposed to the weather elements such as sun, heat and rain. So, durability is key along with comfort and style. While there is no 100 % weatherproof furniture, there are some materials that are more resistant and easier to maintain than others.
An oversized sofa and matching armchairs are the key essentials for great comfort in a Hamptons style outdoor lounge. Opt for rattan or cane weave, as those are resilient while featuring natural aesthetics. Make sure the seating arrangement contains removable seat cushions. So you can easily tuck them away and protect during the winter season. Ideally, in an eye-pleasing rattan trunk.
Iron, stainless steel and aluminium are some of the strongest and most durable materials for an outdoor space. Choosing a coffee table from those materials combined with tempered glass can add some glamour and elegance to your Hampton style outdoor lounge. Just keep in mind, that those are heavy and not easy to move around. If you prefer to rearrange your outdoor lounge frequently, better go with rattan furniture. To ensure your alfresco furniture will last long, we highly recommend placing it in an under covered space and protect it with waterproof covers.
Let’s have a look into three looks for a Hamptons style outdoor lounge, which you can easily recreate at home.
Hamptons Oasis
You might not have the space to integrate outdoor dining and a huge lounge on your terrace, but you can still incorporate a little oasis. Simply add one or two oversized armchairs and separate them from your dining area. This way you can create an intimate and cosy oasis in a corner of the terrace. Paired with a small side table, for example the Florence round side table, it’s a great spot for your morning coffee. You can play with huge pots, plants or lanterns to frame the space. Complete your oasis with soft pillows for the extra comfort.
Matching Tones
A Hamptons theme is easy to achieve if you keep the colour palette neutral. Either with calm earth tones of nature or the traditional shades of blue combined with classic white. Earth tones work great if your home is in a natural environment, surrounded by a lush garden. They provide a soothing and relaxing ambient. While the classic Hamptons colour palette works best with lots of white, such as in a modern setting with concrete flooring and plain walls.
Shades of Nature
Aside from providing comfort and functionality, alfresco furniture also provides great potential in increasing the overall aesthetics of your home. And a beautiful way to make your Hamptons style outdoor lounge homey and stylish is a rattan furniture. Recreating your living room setting outdoors with light weighted and beautiful rattan furniture will make you spend more time outdoors for sure. A tone in tone setting with soft accents and loads of cushions enhances a space for relaxation and great conversations.
