Now summer is here, thoughts are turning to outdoor entertaining and the impending holiday season. That’s why now is the perfect time to take a good look at your outdoor living spaces and ask yourself if they could do with an upgrade. Outdoor furniture is a good place to start. Does what you have still meet your needs? Is it looking fresh and contemporary or dowdy and dated? In Edition 11.5 of Backyard & Garden Design Ideas we take a peek at some of the latest looks in outdoor furniture. Assessing your outdoor cooking capabilities is the next thing you should do. Many of us have a barbecue, but is it big enough and versatile enough? Can you roast on it? Cook up a meal in a wok or create a tasty teppanyaki menu? Is there storage and prep space? We tell you what you need to know to find the perfect barfbecue. And if woodfired cooking is more to your liking, we cover that too.
