for flair can transform your backyard into
a fully-equipped lifestyle terrace.
Gone are the days of simple lounge and
fold up chairs. Modular luxur y patio
furniture is the current trend designed
for intimacy and face- to-face interaction.
Oversized, deep, transitional couches
and chairs are stylish and comfortable
accommodating larger, outdoor din-
ner parties. Resort-style cabanas have
become increasingly popular for poolside
enjoyment with generously proportioned
seating. Complex color paerns, such as
lime green and blue, detour monotony
and interchangeable cushions offer
versatility. Most contemporar y pieces
are heavily framed and match well with
stronger brick or cobblestone hardscapes.
Outdoor kitchens have been developed
with ever y amenity including efficient gas
grills and wood-fired pizza ovens. You
can prepare a full meal outside and store
all of your utensils, dishes and acces-
sories in built-in drawers and cabinets.
e range of options for long lasting ,
decorative dinner ware is extensive and
up to date. TIK I bars, surround sound
entertainment and televisions are added
luxuries that create a fun-filled, entertain-
ing atmosphere.
Lighting is another important consid-
eration when designing your veranda.
Contemporar y lamps offer the perfect
nighime glow with new developments

ive in the sunshine, swin in the sea,
drink the wild air.
