The outdoor space has become a natural extension of the home. Here we want to enjoy the tranquillity or a lively conversation — just like in our living room. Perhaps you have already selected the lounge furniture for your terrace or balcony but are unsure how to create a personal and welcoming ambience. The answer lies in the finer details – in the accessories that bring the entire setting together. Cane-line’s interior stylist, Anja Aarestrup Lund, shares her expert ideas on how to design a stylish and inviting outdoor lounge area. Her advice is simple: Bring the indoor atmosphere outside.
It is all about extending the warm, cosy atmosphere of your living room into your outdoor space. Accessories are the foundation of the mood and atmosphere you wish to create, and with the right combination you can decorate an outdoor lounge that invites relaxation, togetherness, and moments of pure quality under the open sky.
Take inspiration from the soft elements of your interior décor and decorate with accessories made specifically for outdoor living. A harmonious mix of textiles, textures, and natural elements will give your lounge area a sensuous, cosy feel.
Frame your lounge with greenery
Separate your lounge area from your outdoor dining space to create a more intimate, cosy oasis. Use elegant planters filled with ornamental grasses, olive trees, or flowering plants. Not only are they beautiful to look at. They also establish green boundaries and act as natural dividers.Create ambience with warm light
Outdoor lanterns are essential when you wish to extend those warm evenings and create a soft, welcoming atmosphere. Group the lanterns together to add depth and character – ideally mixing various heights and materials. You can also create a functional and decorative focal point with a stylish fire pit, offering warmth and charm as the evening draws in. Supplement with string lights or outdoor lamps to achieve a lighting scheme that is both practical and atmospheric.
