As
the summer months quickly approach, we are all beginning to breathe a
sigh of relief. After having endured what has proven to be a harsh
and cold winter, the frigid temperatures have finally relented and we
are looking forward to spending some much-needed time in the relaxing
bosom of our sunlit gardens.
Although
for some of us relaxing may equate to sipping a cold drink in our
favourite lawn chair, others have transformed simple garden furniture
into some truly unique and amazing structures.
Let
us have a brief look at a few of the coolest pieces that are sure to
gain much attention in the months ahead.
An
All-Weather Outdoor Bed
Many
of us enjoy sleeping under the stars on a cool summer's night, and a
covered outdoor bed is a perfect solution to feeling cramped indoors
and using untold amounts of electricity on air conditioning. The
outdoorsy types can enjoy these comfortable beds that are completely
covered on the top and yet have two holes in each side to view a
rising moon or a setting sun. If we consider that the mattresses are
waterproof and mildew-resistant, these beds may indeed by the ideal
escape for those sultry summer evenings.
Hidden
Chairs
Homeowners
enjoy the personality that a well-placed garden sculpture can offer
while valuing a comfortable seating area for two. Why not have both?
One of the latest trends in outdoor living is to own garden furniture
that can double as an artistic centrepiece when not in use. One such
example are two chairs and a table. The rounded chairs interlock atop
one another while the table is fastened in between the two. The end
result is a nearly circular sculpture that can be disassembled and
used as a dining area when desired. Thus, not only is this furniture
fully functional, but is also a great space-saver for those with
smaller gardens.
Expensive
Furniture Outdoors?
Although
the idea of placing a valuable piece of Victorian furniture outdoors
seems utterly unfeasible, we can still achieve the next best thing.
Moulded pieces of Victorian-stye furniture are coated with a
weather-resistant rubber polymer. So, dinner guests no longer will be
forced to sit outdoors on a rusty set of wrought iron chairs.
Instead, they can relax in the lap of luxury in posh elegance. With a
wide array of colours to choose from, these unique pieces can help
make any outdoor garden feel like the courtyard of a mansion.
Stowaway
Furniture
Many
of us hate the idea of an unsightly pile of tables and chairs in the
corner of our deck. With stowaway furniture, this may soon become a
thing of the past. Folding tables and chairs pull out of the deck
itself; each completely matching the wooden surface. They can be
easily removed and used for any occasion, and after the party is over
and the guests depart, these amazing designs can simply be folded up
and returned to their original places.
These
are but a handful of cool and decidedly amazing designs that can help
give a bit of spice and flavour to any outdoor garden or deck area.
