Stone Patio Furniture Idea
Set against a wonderful, but rough stone background, this patio furniture comes into its own. An idea by Paola Lenti, the furniture is soft and welcoming, instantly transforming the cold, hard environment into an oasis of relaxation. The contrast serves to emphasise the comfort of the patio furniture… daybeds, large wicker armchairs, and even a full size sofa are all scattered with plump cushions for you to sink into. The colours chosen here have very different effects. The buff and beige complements the grey concrete and blend naturally in to create a soothing space. The rich burgundy, on the other hand, warms up the environment and adds a hint of romance and spice. Make the outdoors more livable with this and other ideas by Paola Lenti of comfortable, durable patio furniture that is at home both inside and out.

Outdoor Lighting Ideas
Illuminate the outdoors with these lighting ideas from Antonangeli. A private courtyard or garden can take on an air of intimacy and beauty with the right lighting and furniture. It’s so unusual to see a lamp with a traditional shade outdoors – but these resin glass shades are made to withstand the weather. Here, the glowing Miami standing lamp is the centre of attention – perhaps angled over a smart-looking table so you can read or enjoy a meal with your family. Or, line a path with a row of the standing lamps to welcome and guide your guests. Simply add some casual, yet classy chairs to complete the look. The chairs shown here combine a certain elegance with an open, criss-cross construction – a look which complements the refinement the Miami light can add outside. Create a cosy environment just like your living room with Antonangeli modern lighting inspiration!
