Some of the top current trends around outdoor entertainment area design include pizza ovens, pristine outdoor lounging areas, LED lighting and even al fresco offices. For many families, however, the ultimate outdoor entertainment area can simply be a tastefully decorated and appointed space to enjoy the great outdoors – typically with a swimming pool as an extra opportunity to enjoy family moments and create lasting memories.

Make your outdoor entertainment area one to remember
Before you can relax on your patio with a glass of wine and/or a good book, there are some decisions that need to be made: you need to think about outdoor entertainment area ideas like furniture, lighting and finishings. If you’re willing to shop around, it becomes easy to get a great-looking entertainment area on a budget.
Choose the right furniture: There’s no one-size-fits-all answer for what type of patio furniture is right for you. You need to create a vision for the type of outdoor space and style you want. This involves looking at the space you have available. Will you use it mainly for al fresco dining? Do you envision moving family evenings from the living room to the patio? Would you like to create an outdoor workspace? The answer to these questions will determine the type of furniture that will work for your outdoor entertainment area.
Think about lighting: With the right patio lights, your outdoor entertainment area can be taken seamlessly from day to night. You can also create a lighting blend that provides a perfect balance between pretty and practical. Ceiling lights overhead provide illumination for meals and activities, while lanterns and fairy lights create atmosphere. Step lights and floor-level lighting to illuminate walkways make your outdoor entertainment area a safe space for the whole family to enjoy.
Colours and finishes: Your colour scheme and decorative touches will give your outdoor entertainment its unique character. The current trend is towards warm or earthy colours for outdoor spaces, so think about neutral tones like beige and grey, with touches of colour like autumn red, pacific blue or forest green. If your outdoor entertainment area is covered, make it cosy with rugs, scatter cushions and throws. After all, it’s an extension of your living space.
