With the weather just starting to cool down, outdoor entertaining is becoming less frequent. Your outdoor area might seem less inviting when the weather is cooler, but there are plenty of ways to make these areas work for the cooler months. Although a fire is an amazing way to make an outdoor area feel cosy, there are other, less expensive, ways to cosy up the outdoor area. Change things up by adding cushions, throws and blankets, which will add textures and colour. Adding some kind of lighting, even if it is inexpensive string lights or candles, will create a cosy atmosphere outdoors, while still sticking to the budget. An outdoor rug can make a big difference to the feel of an outdoor space, creating warmth underfoot. Lastly, one of the simplest ways to make an outdoor area feel cosier for Autumn and winter is to add some darker/warmer colours to the décor. Change up cushions, throws or rugs to dark/warm colours or even update the furniture to a warmer shade. There is a multitude of ways that a space can be made to feel cosier, here are six spaces that use those little details to achieve it!
