The season for outdoor entertaining is here, and this garden party look is ready to celebrate with warming bursts of citrus from Resene Tangerine and Resene Tulip Tree.

Outdoor walls and fences don’t need to be black and white. Painting a colourful garden mural is a fun way to elevate your outdoor living and bring your personality into this often-neglected area to create a space to be enjoyed.

The Ico Traders Orere Sofa from Ballantynes contrasts the bursts of colourful accessories with a picnic blanket and cushions to soften the mood for those long afternoons in the sun. This two-seater wire sofa is comfortable to sit on with or without cushions. Before powder coating, each wire has been sprayed with a special fluoropolymer PVDF base to ensure durability and rust resistance so that they can be used both indoors and in sheltered outdoor areas.

The Celia Linen Cushion Cover by Città Design features a gestural hand-painted depiction of a summer’s day spent lying in the sun surrounded by the gentle lull of the wind and buzz of honey bees. The colours in this pretty pattern are key to connecting the orange, yellow, and green elements within the space.

Stools really are cool, and this Martino Gamper Circus Stool is a modern design classic available in a wide range of colours, built with outdoor durability in mind. Here, used as a side table, this playful yellow creates a bold contrast with the tangerine walls and accessories in this vibrant picnic setting.

The Qeeboo Rabbit chairs put the “fun” in functionality. Both whimsical and stylish, the rabbit is a symbol of love and fertility. This playful outdoor scene also includes Qeeboo Rabbit doorstoppers in yellow and a tangerine velvet finish to form a family and complement the bold citrus colour palette.
