Summer is here, and we're celebrating by getting out our outdoor cushions and creating a stylish, inviting space to gather with friends and family. We love to entertain in the summertime, but if you have an alfresco entertaining area that feels tired or missing that WOW factor, it can be hard to know what to do.

One of the best ways to create an outdoor space that feels like an extension of your home is with on trend designer looking cushions!

If you're looking for ideas for how to decorate your outdoor space this summer season, check out some of our favourite ways to freshen up your space:

1. One of the best ways to do this is by using outdoor cushions that complement your existing decor. Outdoor cushions are available in a variety of colours and patterns, so you can easily find something that fits with your existing decor or style. Get creative with textures or a natural palette! Add some relaxing neutral tones that will make people feel welcome and comfortable while they're relaxing outside. Check out our divine neutral pumice collection at www.designdendownunder.com

2. From bright colours to patterns that just make you smile, these cushions will help you create a stylish alfresco area where people want to gather, eat great food, and stay for hours. So get ready for summer—and get ready for fun!

3. Centrepieces on tables are always fun! If you have an outdoor table its a great idea to bring some complementary deco pieces of the same colour to complete the overall look!! Use a fabulous table runner and add your deco to the centre. You can then set place mats to finish.

4. Beautiful fresh flowers are a must!!
