Connecting outside to inside
Being in the the prime of summer with hot temperatures and plants blooming there are a few places more appealing than a indoor living space that seamlessly connects to the outdoors.
These spaces help to invite the sunshine in and frame a lovely external landscape of a garden or courtyard letting daily activities spill outside.
Here are some good tips to help you successfully bridge the gap between indoor-outdoor living rooms.
Bifold doors
For seamless indoor/outdoor living consider installing bifolds.
Bifolds have recently evolved into functional operating systems that can be used effortlessly to link internal and external areas.
These timber bifold doors and windows allow the internal living spaces to expand into a lovely open outdoor dining area.
Outdoor Kitchen
Whilst taking full advantage of all the nature has to offer a consider installing an outdoor kitchen.
The design of the kitchen should encourage family interaction while preparing food also providing a connection to the external landscaping.
Indoor – Out Furniture.
To transform your outdoor area into a cozy relaxing space put in indoor furniture. Choose stylish weatherproof pieces that are sturdy and filter out sun rays so be careful when selecting fabrics.
You want a statement piece that survives the elements but also fits in with both your indoor and outdoor space.
Outdoor Dining
Make functional use in your outdoor space table by placing a nice indoor-style dining table for alfresco dining.
A dining area instantly creates an indoor-style ambience perfect for entertaining guests on a warm night. When looking for the perfect table makes sure it’s sturdy enough for outdoors and is low maintenance and weather-resistant.
Feature piece
Add a focal point to your indoor-outdoor space by placing an eye-catching feature piece whether it be a wall-hung artwork, statue, exotic chair or table.
This piece will soften the look of the outdoor space giving it a nice-lived in look.
Decoration
To blur the distinction between the indoor and out add some transitional additions like rugs, throws and cushions.
These decorative touches will balance your internal and external entertaining spaces by adding warmth and an inviting touch.
Outdoor Pizza-Oven
An outdoor pizza oven adds a hot statement to any outdoor room.
The pizza oven helps you escape the kitchen and entertain your guests. Attractive and efficient, you can take your cooking to a whole new level and the even heat provided the food for perfect cooking.
These amazing ovens cook everything from pizzas to roasts to breads and desserts, and it’s easy to clean with no mess and no fuss.
Enclosed patio
Bring the outdoors in with a fabulous enclosure.
Despite Aussie’s having a love the outdoors we have to face the reality that sometimes we can’t sit outside due to harsh conditions.
Enclosed Patios offer the ultimate solution for comfortable leisure areas. You have the option of using partially or fully enclosed glass or screening.
Hopefully these tips will enhance the flow between your indoor and outdoor environments and help create a focal point of the house where cooking, entertaining, relaxing and daily duties would all coexist in the one space.

Hi George
In this case I would purchase furniture that is multi- functional and compact. There is outdoor furniture that tucks the chairs under the table when not in use.
