Outdoor decorating tips
To help you in your mission to revitalise your outdoor space, IKEA has provided us with a few tips and some recommended products to match.
- For starters, you should work on creating shade and privacy in your outdoor area, particularly if you lack these things naturally in your environment. Adding a pergola or outdoor umbrella can help with this. Check out the TVETÖ Parasol or HÖGÖN Parasol.
- IKEA experts also recommend grounding your space with an outdoor rug or artificial flooring. This helps create the feeling of entering another room in your house. Some product recommendations include the MORUM rug and the RUNNEN outdoor artificial grass flooring.
- Use your outdoor space to your advantage and maximise its storage. One idea is to use a sofa or table that doubles as outdoor storage, particularly if you want to keep your cushions out of the elements. A cabinet to store items like tools and shoes is another way to foster your outdoor area. Some recommendations are the NÄMMARÖ storage box or KOLBJÖRN shelving unit.
- You can create ambience in your outdoor space with small touches like lanterns or hanging plants. Many outdoor lighting items from IKEA can also be powered naturally by the sun, saving your electricity bill. Some suggestions: SOMMARLÅNKE LED decorative table lamp and SOMMARLÅNKE lighting chain.
- Adding greenery to your outdoor space is a must. IKEA’s research has shown that Australians feel their best when their outdoor space is private and green, and the retailer offers plenty of plants you can purchase to make this a reality. Products like the HOWEA FORSTERIANA potted plant and SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA plant should do the trick.
