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 stylish

hideaway 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.
