STORES NationwideSMART TABLEWARE
OKA designers have
dressed the table with
elegant and colourful
dinnerware and decorative
accessories to enhance
its role as the striking
centre of the space and
to welcome friends for
cool drinks or a languorous
lunch. OKA co-founder
Sue Jones encourages us
to take a stylish approach
to outdoor entertaining.
‘Dining outside is always
atmospheric, but don’t
forget sophistication,’ she
says. ‘Unique, colourful
glasswareisagreatway
to add character to your
table and can transform
your alfresco dinner party.’ADD CHARACTER
A sideboard or console
within easy reach of the
dining table is useful for
displaying serving platters
and extra glassware, or for
simply adding character
to a courtyard with
attractive accessories.
A window-effect mirror
helps ‘open up’ the space
by reflecting natural light,
which is especially useful
if your courtyard or patio
area is on the smaller side,
or if you want to brighten
a darker corner. Add some
plants for natural beauty
and complete the look
with pretty lanterns,
which will allow you to
illuminate the table long
into the evening.INSIDER
