Inside out

Sofas, dining tables, lighting and even heating. In recent years, we have all embraced outdoor living with garden rooms, prompting landscapers and garden furniture stores to design all-in outdoor spaces for their customers for lounging, eating or sunbathing.

Pieter Van Puyvelde, marketing manager at Royal Botania, says a new trend has recently emerged. Increasingly, retailers and landscapers are promoting all-in concepts, giving customers the opportunity to completely redesign their patio or garden or give it a makeover, using mood boards and walkthrough animations or visualisations.

Just like we rely on architects to design our dream house, we now turn to landscapers to create the perfect outdoor experience in our garden or on our patio. The pandemic underlined the importance of outdoor space. Everything starts with a good layout, including a kitchen, sitting area, dining area and sun terrace, after which you need to furnish it in the style of your choice.

Outdoor furniture manufacturers are capitalising on this new outdoor trend by expanding their traditional garden furniture ranges. Royal Botania has everything you need to decorate your patio, including umbrellas, rugs, and outdoor lighting.

Three years ago, Royal Botania also launched the low dining trend, which has gained traction. The manufacturer moved away from the standard dining table height of 75 cm, creating a range of tables that are 68 cm high, for use with relax chairs. This trend also ties in perfectly with the new way of living and eating. Eating dinner does not take that long, but thanks to this new outdoor furniture you can enjoy the leisurely ebb and flow of after-dinner conversation on lovely summer evenings more comfortably.
