The times have certainly changed with the mindset of people. The cost of living is becoming increasingly more expensive which also means, when we have a night out on the town and our pockets feel rather empty by the end of the evening!
Outdoor entertaining/Alfresco living has become more and more popular due to the above circumstances but the positive to this is that most seem to embrace this style of living, and it is certainly being shown through design and styling of these areas.
I like to think that we are creating our own private oasis - a place to enjoy the company of friends and family in our homes.
Outdoor living space doesn't have to cost a fortune - you can mix old with the new - it has to be something that is comfortable and appealing to you as well as making sure that it's user friendly and easy to maintain without thinking OMG this is too good to be outside. Don't forget though, you can still have accessories which are weather proof and are also able to withstand our sporadical climate conditions which are not so unusual these days!
What I am going to show you is your basic to your extreme outdoor/alfresco ideas but, you don't have to create this exact image you can take "a little bit of this and a little bit of that". It's really just about enhancing the space that you may already have!

In my next post I will create a mood board to give you a clearer perspective/more in depth idea on how you could enhance your own current space with accessories and accent items.
