A cosy family patio with rustic outdoor décor ideas

On this veranda, where three generations love to hang out, every activity has its own place. With a little help from a greenhouse, a cozy nook for reading, and a colorful spot for play, this outdoor area becomes a vibrant extension of the house with space for cultivating both veggies and togetherness.

Furniture that makes your veranda feel bigger

The ASKHOLMEN series offers compact, versatile wooden outdoor furniture, perfect for small spaces like balconies and patios. Make every gathering feel special by framing the ASKHOLMEN table with a HELGEÖ table rod. Dress it up with glowing string lights, festive balloons, climbing or hanging plants, or fragrant herbs hung to dry. Then, add a cheerful tablecloth, a vase with handpicked flowers from the garden, and your favorite people. Simple ideas that can transform your veranda into a magical spot for making memories together.

A nook for alone time

Creating areas for different activities allows everyone to find their corner while still being part of the family feast. Putting together a peaceful spot for unwinding, reading, and having a cup of coffee is simple – all it takes is a couple of larger plants to define the space and add privacy, a small table, and a comfortable place to sit. These generous SKOGSÖN easy chairs have a timeless, relaxed look, and the lightweight material makes them easy to move around to wherever the sunlight or the shadow happens to be.
