Whether September brings an Indian summer or autumnal chill, it’s essential to have the right accessories to create a cosy and inviting outdoor space. This past summer was quite unpredictable, with July being the wettest month on record following the warmest June on record. However, let’s focus on the positives and hope for an Indian summer in September, even if it means the children having to resit their exams to enjoy some sunshine.
If an Indian summer doesn’t come to fruition, we can still make the most of the cooler temperatures and unpredictable weather by investing in the right furniture and accessories to enjoy our outdoor spaces throughout the month. In fact, some people would argue that autumn is even better than summer for al fresco dining or entertaining. The pesky midges disappear, and the cooler nights create the perfect atmosphere for fires and textiles, making the outdoor space even more inviting.
To heat things up on those autumn evenings, why not consider a firepit table? The Orchard offers a beautiful firepit table called Cosiloft, which has a teak top and a firepit inserted in the middle, leaving space around it for glasses of wine. It’s perfect for creating a cozy ambiance and can double as a grill for cooking delicious meals outdoors.
When it comes to outdoor furniture, it’s essential to choose pieces that can withstand the elements year-round. Ethnicraft has a fantastic collection called Jack, made from teak wood with quick-dry, foam-padded cushions and a waterproof rain cover. These pieces are not only durable but also stylish and can be found at CA Design, Browsers, and Pod Furniture.
Just like we layer up our clothing for the unpredictable weather, it’s a good idea to layer up our outdoor furniture as well. Sofas and chairs can be adorned with throws and cushions to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Neptune Home’s Evie collection offers soft, stylish, and showerproof cushions specifically designed for outdoor use. Additionally, blankets and throws like the ones from Meadows & Byrne can keep us snug on those chillier autumn evenings.
To create the right ambiance, lighting plays a crucial role. As the days get shorter, it’s important to have functional lighting that can also change the energy and atmosphere in an instant. String lights, candles, and lanterns are great options for creating a warm and intimate vibe. Muuto and Lamp and Light offer stylish outdoor lighting options such as table lamps and floor lamps that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Setting the tone on those cooler autumn evenings also involves paying attention to the finer details. A wooden waterproof sound speaker from Meadows & Byrne can provide background music, while a rainproof pouf from Browsers allows for relaxation and comfort. Statement outdoor rugs from Vobe Interiors can add a touch of style to the space. And of course, a weather-friendly drinks trolley or bar cart from Kave Home or Smallable is a must-have for serving welcome cocktails or after-work drinks.
With the right accessories and a bit of creativity, you can transform your outdoor space into a cozy and inviting sanctuary, whether you’re enjoying an Indian summer or embracing the autumnal chill.
