Eating out in style

No matter its size, every home looks better with plenty of greenery and a fun and inviting outdoor area. Although rural dwellers have a natural advantage, city folk can makeover their outdoor areas with Ikea’s new summer range of outdoor furniture, plant pots and gardening accessories.

“Our new range of outdoor furniture, parasols, pot plants and garden accessories add colour, style, and life to all homes and apartments, even where space is limited,” says Chessada Chinmateepitak, Ikea Thailand’s communication and interior design manger.

You can dazzle in the summer heat with accessories in bright yellow, orange and turquoise are the primary colours. All items are pre-treated with a layer of glazing paint for added protection from high temperatures. You’ll find a gazebo and modular furniture series including tables, stools, seats and benches that are designed to complement and enhance backyard and beach home settings. As well as providing lots of room for lounging, the gazebo’s fabric roof blocks 49-50 UV units for extra protection from the rays.
