We have been emerged into this new theory of taking home comforts outside- Extending the living area into the unexplored territory of the garden. This new view on the versatile extension of our indoor space has become huge in the later part of 2013. As said in the previous blog post, no longer are we confined to the inner space of our home. The garden has now become an integral part of family life.

The question many people ask themselves before they start a garden renovation is; what look do I want to achieve? Whether it is a boutique dining experience, the feel of a traditional country cottage or even a reflection of clean modern living, Verdon Grey can cater to all of these styles.

Let us have a look at the 3 key factors in 2013;

1)     Resin Weave- a top pick and the number one on everyone’s wish list. This durable and light weight material looks fantastic and is extremely low in maintenance. This weave doesn’t have to be unsightly either. Take our Estelle chair- elegantly floating on a airy frame that coordinates perfectly with any table. With this material you have no problems when it comes to leaving it outside, come rain or shine.

2)     Statement metal- The most common being aluminium which is surprisingly light weight and there for easily positioned around the garden. The metal look is contemporary in design that compliments patios and decking in particular. Effortless maintenance is also a key factor; our Arc dining table simply requires a wipe down after use.

3)     Traditional Teak- Wood has always been a trend in the outdoor styling world. It is versatile and compliments whatever look you want to achieve. All of our wood is FSC certified to ensure sustainability. Wood can come in many different ways treated, un-treated or even pre-weathered like our Redon ranges which would look beautiful outside or inside a country farm house.

4)     There are now three different types of luxury outdoor styles; Dining- for eating around, lounge- specifically made for ‘lounging’ and entertaining and conversation- for when the typical dining table just isn’t enough.

There are many key trends emerging and no doubt they will change as we move into 2014. Verdon Grey is dedicated to providing you with the latest and finest products and we hope you will agree.
