How to create an outdoor living room in 5 easy steps
1. Add an outdoor rug to your seating area
An outdoor rug will create a focal point in your patio or garden. If you don't have outdoor seating, you can bring out indoor chairs to put around the rug.
2. Lighting is key!
To make it feel like an outdoor living room, you'll need lighting from dusk onwards. Festoon lights hung around your seating area will give a welcoming feel.
3. Add layers of lighting
A giant vase filled with string lights will create a fun, romantic vibe and a glowing ambience after dusk.
4. Lots of cushions
Lots of cushions on your seats will bring texture, colour and comfort so it feels like a living space. Linen ones are perfect as they have a summery, natural feel.
5. Have a pile of soft blankets
To keep it feeling cosy, have a stack of super-soft blankets (we like Merino ones) to keep everyone warm if the sun goes in or for after dusk.
