We asked three outdoor
furniture specialists to
come up with ideas for
three different spaces.
Here are the results.
OUTDOOR
MAKEOVER
THE CHALLENGE:
FURNISHING AN
APARTMENT BALCONY
WHO LIVES HERE:
A young couple with a toddler. While the
couple’s style is natural and clean, their three-year-old
gets her hands into and onto everything; so they can’t
do lights andwhites, or anything that isn’t easily cleaned.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS:
The couple
doesn’t entertain
that often, but wants a family dining set, as well as a
small lounging area, preferably with no glass, and a
barbecue as well. They would like some colourful soft
furnishings that can withstand the touch of a toddler;
nothing should be too high for their daughter to climb
onto. They will also need some kind of shade as the
sun hits the balcony late afternoon/early evening,
when they are usually eating dinner.
