Furniture in a water filled environment – how to choose?

2015-03-31T13:26:58+02:00

A swimming pool is an increasingly frequent and integral element of a household. Often a primary quality of a well situated property is also its proximity to a lake or at least a stream flowing nearby. Arrangement of such a space requires particular attention and selection of furniture which will handle increased levels of moisture.

It is quite the attraction, especially during the Summer when ambient temperatures reach thirty degrees Celsius. Locating your place of leisure close to a body of water provides many additional options for spending your free time and having fun outdoors. And after a swim, it is nice to be able to comfortably sit down and talk, drink some cold lemonade or eat something delicious.

Unfortunately, contact of furniture with water (a wet body or towels), if such furniture is made using natural materials, will cause them to soak in moisture and deteriorate. Similarly damaging effects occur in the case of metals which are prone to rusting. This is why the best solution is furniture made from plastic, which is not affected by water and increased moisture.

When selecting a furniture set intended to be placed near water we should consider what their intended functionality should be. If you are fortunate enough to live near a pond, it will be a good idea to plan a mini-dining space in its direct vicinity, so that you can enjoy a fried fish that you yourself have caught. If you are thinking of arranging a swimming pool space – consider creating a bathing lounge with comfortable sunbathing loungers.

Two variations on a modern lounge

2015-03-31T13:26:17+02:00

The first one has always been the heart of the house, pampered and groomed to stylistic perfection. The second one only now starts to be considered the center of social life in the household – an outdoor lounge. They have one thing in common – they can be the apple of our eye, if they are stylish and comfortable.

A lounge is considered the most important room in a house for good reason. Its arrangement often requires compromise, so that it can suit the preferences and tastes of all household members. Original spaces are also often created under the watchful eye of a decorator, who sees to it that its effective form does not clash with its functionality.

Garden lounges, in truth, are not considered as important, but increasingly more attention is paid to them being as amazing, as the indoor ones. It is sufficient to take a look at the change of approach to outdoor furniture, whose form has evolved to a degree, where they could just as well decorate an exclusive interior.

Furniture is more and more high quality in terms of form and workmanship and closer to modern leisure sets, and are additionally made from durable and easy to clean materials – polypropylene and polyester, which perform excellently in open spaces. Because an excellent decor should be independent of weather conditions.

Terrace and interior – a stylish continuation?

2015-03-31T13:23:16+02:00

There is much talk recently, that the surrounding of your premises should be an extension of your interior. Advocates of stylistic harmony eagerly transfer the characteristic motifs outdoors. They are countered by enthusiasts of contrast who believe, that going out onto the terrace should feel like being in a different place.

The common trait of the abovementioned approaches is the pursuit of creating a unique space and, undoubtedly, those who do not wish to restrict their stylistic tastes indoors are right. It is obvious that the surrounding of your home should not drastically differ in terms of form from what is happening indoors and in the owners’ minds.

The time of a garden being equaled to a vegetable patch and a terrace resembling a small storage room is long gone. Today terraces, especially during the Summer season, stand on their own next to living rooms and fulfil similar functions. With the change of approach, there also came a change in the nature of arrangements – light, bland garden furniture was replaced by stable armchairs and comfortable sofas.

It should be soft, comfortable and cozy, which is why plaids and cushions of various colors, which will make morning coffee or evening meetings with friends a pleasure, are a welcome addition. It is unimportant, if we arrange the terrace applying the rule of cohesion or contract – it is important to do it with style.

Comfort in the lounging area

2015-03-31T13:21:20+02:00

Changes in the perception of household space resulted in the pursuit of new areas of leisure. Today we spend our free time not only in day rooms or on balconies. Our relaxation spots of choice include atmospheric attics and shady porches, we create Summer kitchens and outdoor bathing lounges.

In fact, during recent years our preferences regarding how we spend our free time have changed dramatically. The trend of family barbecues and garden parties borrowed from the West, in combination with a change in perception of the garden space itself, turned out beneficial all around. With the advent of Summer we tend to move to the bosom of nature.

Currently, spatial architects offer many interesting solutions which allow to arrange a space for grilling, or an entire Summer kitchen surrounded by aromatic herbs and vegetation. Often these are not spaces which we use throughout the entire year, therefore the tendency to select lighter and more mobile furniture.

A large table can comfortably accommodate four adults without the risk of there not being enough space. The available sets, thanks to comfortable seats and high chair backrests, ensure the required comfort, as well as make it possible to quickly move the furniture from the terrace or patio in order to free up space.
