1. Outdoor heating
Outdoor space can become an extension of your home.
Having an outdoor heater on your patio is an essential part of creating that 'warm and cosy' feeling. It also allows you to use your space well into the cool winter evenings.
Outdoor heaters add more than just warmth to your outdoor space. Gas heaters like the Falo Evo can be used as an attractive centrepiece and bring ambience to your space, reminiscent of romantic nights and dancing flames of evening camp fires.
This heater consumes less gas than other heaters and if it tips over it will automatically stop gas flow, making it a safe and efficient new incorporation to your outdoor space.
2. A hanging chair
Nothing will feel more ’cocoon-like’ than getting your teeth stuck in a new book or magazine while relaxing in a hanging chair.
A hanging chair not only looks great but is also innovative as you can easily move it around and won’t need to commit to a particular spot on colder evenings.A hanging chair not only looks great but is also innovative as you can easily move it around and won’t need to commit to a particular spot on colder evenings.
