As soon as the sun comes out, your garden naturally takes centre stage. The patio door stays open, you enjoy your first coffee outside and before you know it, there’s a throw ready for the evening. With Ellen Voppen’s cheerful style, we’ll show you how to turn your patio, veranda or balcony into a cosy outdoor space with soft colours, playful prints and beautiful materials.
An outdoor carpet as the starting point of your seating area
For Ellen, the garden starts with colour. The Saluti Grandi outdoor carpet in Pastel instantly adds warmth to her seating area and brings separate garden furniture together into one inviting setting. The pink and green tones blend beautifully with flowers, plants and everything already growing outdoors.
Ellen then makes the corner even cosier with soft materials and fresh colours. The green Bonsoir Combistripe throw is ready for cooler evenings, while the blue Fill in the dots cushion adds a playful touch to the seating area. Add a vase of flowers, pick up your book and you’ve got a spot where you’ll naturally want to stay a little longer.
