Warm weather is just around the corner – hooray – and we’re looking forward to spending time on the patio with family and friends.

Patio furniture can make an inviting zone to relax and entertain, as well as creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Brosa has released a brand new outdoor furniture collection designed to suit your home and lifestyle.

“We’ve expanded the width of the collection immensely so we can explore a truly varied range of design aesthetics, sizes, and price points, so there’s something for everyone,” Brosa head of buying Beth Finckh said.

Inspiration for the collection comes from dreamy summer holiday destinations around the world, so you can recreate that holiday feeling in your own back yard.

Beth said the collection enables you to create an outdoor space with just as much style and detail as your interior.

Consider the contemporary curves of the Maui range and the European-inspired Portofino in black-and-white stripes.

Mixing a diverse range of materials and textures can help achieve your perfect alfresco space.

Materials such as solid acacia, a dense and natural wood, is perfect for outdoor furniture due to its weather and moisture-resistant properties.

Brosa’s Merida collection features solid acacia accents on the arms and tabletops. It’s a chic and versatile collection that can easily be adopted to various trends.

Wrought-iron furniture creates a distinctive look, teamed with black-and white stripes or classic crisp white cushions.

Powder-coated steel and aluminum are also excellent choices with a variety of colours and styles to suit your look and budget. More options include glass-topped tables and dramatic concrete-topped tables.

For versatility, choose modular furniture that can transform from a two-seater sofa to a chaise, as well as a corner suite. It’s ideal for those wanting an expandable outdoor collection that can be configured into different shapes to suit their needs.

Capitalising on the bold monochrome trend is the Lisbon collection from Brosa. It has a commercial shape that can look good in any space, and the finely woven rope detail on the backrest creates a subtle pattern.

Choose outdoor furniture that is curated to stand the test of time. Quality products will be rigorously tested for outdoor use to ensure longevity and durability.

Size is important when selecting from the wonderful world of outdoor furniture. Measure-up and leave some space for guests to mingle and move around. An extendable outdoor dining table could be the solution.

Consider barbecue placement as well as traffic zones and easy access to the kitchen.

Comfort is essential and the Sicilia collection from Brosa features luxurious ultra-plush cushions.

Think about furniture height as well. Outdoor dining settings are available in standard or bar height with matching bar stools.

Treat the littlies to their very own kid-sized patio table and chairs.

Ideally, your alfresco coffee table is just a few centimetres lower than lounge-set seating. Makes a great footrest too, depending on the host.

Finally, entice guests and enhance your new outdoor furniture with your favourite accessories.

Solar lights save money and recycled plastic makes amazing outdoor rugs.

Add wireless speakers, a patio heater, cooling fan, bright cushions and a cosy throw.
