SUMMER WARMTH
Create a blissful courtyard for alfresco dining, inspired by OKA
SUMMER is the time to make the most of your outdoor
space, be it large or small. Even a compact courtyard
or little patio can become a secluded spot for a relaxed
dinner on a balmy evening, or an inviting oasis for
a leisurely alfresco lunch.
Here, the design team at OKA have created a stylishhideaway to enjoy the summer’s warmth. Yellow-painted,
gently textured plaster walls create a sun-drenched
backdrop reminiscent of Morocco, offset by the natural
hues of a rustic flagstone floor. The focal point of the
courtyard is a well-proportioned round Callanish outdoor
dining table in Dry Pebble Grey, its eye-catching role
enhanced by a grand pedestal base and sophisticated
circular stripe detail. On four softly curved armchairs that
suit the size of table, cushions add pops of contrasting
colour and enhance the sense of relaxed comfort.
The area is defined by a brightly coloured throw, used
as a shady canopy to keep the midday sun at bay.
