The swedes who own this house have got there outdoor space right!
The outdoor kitchen has a gas barbecue, sink and all the utensils you might need to throw together an evening meal. We recently bought a portable plug-in induction stove from IKEA for our cabin and it would make a nice addition here too!
I also like the plant boxes. Placing raised beds around a terrace like this is a nice way to add flowers beside the seating area.
Around the corner they have created a covered terrace with a lovely sitting room area for cosy evenings. I love the pendant lamp for a true ‘living room’ feel!
Cushions, blankets, candles – all the things you need for a cosy evening! I often bring out a basket of blankets late afternoon and plonk it beside our outdoor seating – so that blankets are at the ready as soon as the chill sets in! Having tried and tested many blankets – from budget to blowout (hey, it’s cold up here in the north!), my favourite actually turns out to be the wool-blend ones from H&M Home – they are really soft and a firm family favourite.
A simple bench serves as a perch for a reflective morning coffee for one.
Water tight Glass / plexiglass roofing can get really hot in the sunshine. A wicker cover like this one helps to keep the area cool and looks pretty too!
I couldn’t resist sharing a few snapshots from the downstairs living area too – perfect inspiration for anyone who loves serene white / neutral spaces!
I hope this lovely outdoor kitchen and open-plan living space have given you plenty of inspiration for the weekend!
