30 Wednesday October 23 2019 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz HOME PROFESSIONALS SELWYN TIMES Styling for outdoor living With the warmer weather, the outside beckons and it is a great opportunity to create what essential is an additional room over summer and a becomes focus for entertaining and family time. Making your outdoor area just as stylish as your interior is a matter of choosing the best furniture solutions depending on how you see the space being used. The main things to consider are fairly obvious – space, types of furniture, style and materials and storage options. First up is space and size. Outdoor furniture needs to be sized to the space you have available. A small courtyard or veranda can look even smaller with large furniture while a larger deck looks best with larger settings. Measure how much space you have before you shop as furniture and include plenty of room to move around. Once you have established the size of your new outdoor furniture you need to identify what type of furniture you need for the space depending on how you think it will be used. There are plenty of options for outdoor furniture and, if you have a larger space, you might want to divide it up into different areas, for example, two chairs and table for that morning coffee, a dining table, sofa and comfortable chairs or a hammock. Bean bags are a flexible option and can bring a splash of colour or pattern into your outdoor space. There are plenty of shapes and sizes of outdoor beanbags available, from ottomans and loungers to the traditional teardrop shape. Style-wise any outdoor furniture should ideally blend with what you have in your home and can enhance your indooroutdoor flow. So if you have a modern home then look for something that has similar clean lines. Or it may be the opportunity to use bright colours that you would not choose for your interior. To make sure your outdoor furniture lasts for a long time, choose the right materials. Rattanstyle furniture, for example, is now made with a poly resin which means it is weather-resistant and can stay outdoors all year round. Look for dense woods like teak which are easy to maintain and durable. Powder coated metal furniture is both UVresistant and rust proof. There are plenty of outdoor furniture options available so take the time to make sure you have exactly what suits your needs and then you can sit back, relax and enjoy the sunshine.

SELWYN TIMES Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Wednesday October 23 2019 31 HOME PROFESSIONALS A garden haven It’s spring! The perfect time to look at how you could enhance your garden’s appeal and spend more time outside relaxing after an enjoyable day spent working in the garden. Outdoor lighting can be used to set the right mood for you and your guests to enjoy al fresco dining on the deck, patio or in outdoor garden rooms. Lighting can also be used to add structure to your garden, and enhance trees, sculptures, spa, pool and seating areas. Whether you love the look of hanging lanterns or more traditional lighting, there is something to suit everyone’s style and budget. The Juice Electrical team recommend to look for styles where you can use longlife and energy efficient LEDs. Low voltage LEDs can be safely installed under bark, mulch or weed mat with no digging or trench needed. Spring is also a great time to install that spa pool you have always wanted. While size and style is important to consider it is also critical to get some information on the power requirements. Some spa pools cost more to install, while others have a sting in the tail when the power bill arrives as they cost more to run. The Juice team can offer pre-purchase advice as well as install. Juice Electrical love their community, and offer great service without any added mileage or admin fees for our Rolleston customers who pay only for the time we spend on the job. Give life to your garden ideas, and bring Juice in on your plans. We can help to enhance your garden for the warmer weather ahead.
