Summer is the perfect time to embrace the relaxed, breezy vibe of coastal living right in your own backyard.
Coastal environments face unique challenges when it come to climate. Designing an outdoor space that feels like a seaside escape is all about blending style with durability, ensuring your retreat can withstand the unique challenges of coastal conditions.
Teak
Renowned for its strength and natural resistance to the elements, teak is the ideal choice for coastal outdoor furniture. Teak fades to a silvery-grey naturally, however regular care and re-staining at the start of each summer will prolong the honey golden colour. Whether it’s a dining set or lounge chairs, teak pieces offer enduring style and practicality for your seaside haven.
Aluminium
Aluminium furniture is lightweight, rust-resistant, and ideal for coastal environments. Its versatility allows it to pair seamlessly with cushions and accessories, creating a comfortable, stylish space that withstands salty air while maintaining its elegance. Aluminium is very low care, simply spray with the hose and use a soft brush to remove stubborn build up, making it the perfect option for busy people.
Shade
Every coastal retreat needs a shaded sanctuary for relaxation to protect you and your family from the New Zealand sun this summer. Our Jardinico Caractere and Forte Umbrellas not only provide essential protection from the sun, but also enhance your outdoor area's overall look. Whether they're sheltering your dining table or lounge area, these umbrellas ensure you can enjoy your coastal oasis in comfort throughout the day.
