Our current climate has meant that perfecting our outdoor living spaces is a prevalent issue now more than ever. We want to share with you our passion for Alfresco living. Including how you can transform your outdoor space into the ideal, intimate area. One to enjoy with family and friends for summers to come. 

Regardless of the size of your garden, perfect outdoor living can be achieved in numerous ways by integrating the indoors to the outdoors. At OUTASHADE, we want to create a desirable, escapist environment outside, to bathe in the summer warmth and make important memories with the ones that matter the most. 

Dining 

We would argue that outdoor spaces are not complete without that essential consideration for dining. Whether that is breakfast, lunch or dinner. Every meal of the day has the potential to eat outside. Especially when your outside environment has been reinvented to combine practicality and quality with a beautiful design.

Time spent together dining is one of the most important times together. A time to be connected, a time to enjoy being with each other and a time to strengthen relationships. This past year and a half has taught us the importance of our relationships, and we don’t want to take these for granted ever again. 

Take advantage of the beauty of the outdoors and enjoy eating together again. 

Lighting

Your intimate space has to be inviting. Regardless of if it is day or night, this can be achieved through lighting. Whether you are optimising the natural lighting or incorporating an ambient artificial glow, this aspect is integral to your outdoor living experience. 

Incorporate the natural lighting through the use of shading. Construct a contrast between light and dark to create a space that is both enjoyable and warm, but utilises the shade when necessary. Intimate spaces integrate ambient lighting, creating a warm and comfortable environment. This could be achieved through the use of a fire pit to create a romantic, yet inviting space, or more intense lighting such as lamps and integrated systems. 

However you want to use the lighting, use it efficiently and use it to optimise your living area. 

Furniture

A last point for consideration focuses on the furniture that is used within your outdoor area. Whatever your space may inspire, whether that is luxury, relaxation, intimacy, or escapism, your furniture needs to reflect this style. Investing in durable, comfortable pieces adds the final touch to the environment. To create a place where family and friends will want to spend, a place where you will want to take a breath and immerse in the outdoor air. 

Maximise your garden’s potential by incorporating the inside to the outside with bespoke garden shading solutions: pergolas, awnings, verandas and outdoor kitchens. These innovative solutions have revolutionized life outside, transforming Alfresco living for the better. 


Although we have focused on the Summer months specifically here, we are proud to make these luxurious outdoor spaces suitable for all seasons. Our complex designs made simple are perfect to enjoy all times of the year. Whether you embrace the warmth or want to suppress the cold. We highlight the beauty of an Alfresco living environment all year round. 

OUTASHADE are at the intersection of design and practicality.
