Get an Early Start to Summer
Tired of being stuck indoors? Longing to get out in the sunshine and fresh air and enjoy the beauty of your outdoor space? ‘Summer can’t come quickly enough’, we hear you say. Well, with some creative space planning and interior styling, you can bring that date with summer forward, and here’s how:
Catch the Sunshine
There is nothing more indulgent than a stolen moment basking in the winter or autumn sun, whether curled up on a sofa as it streams through the window or, if the weather permits, relaxing on a garden chair outdoors.
Let’s take that feeling and run with it. Imagine creating a sun-filled outdoor space that captures the sunshine and protects from the wind. It is possible with AMERICAN shutters’ Security Shutters. By enclosing your patio or balcony with shutters, you have the flexibility to not only direct the sun through the adjustable louvres, but also protect the space from the wind or rain. The Security Shutters are made from architectural grade aluminium and are powder coated for a corrosion-resistant finish, which means they are weather resistant – won’t warp, rust or fade.
Warm the Space
Add layers of texture to create an inviting, warm space; mix different materials such as wood, wicker, stone, and weather-friendly textiles to give depth and interest. Put down an outdoor rug to add warmth underfoot. A fireplace is ideal but if not possible, a basket filled with blankets at the ready is a great touch.
Serve it Hot
Make your outdoor dining space stylish and secure for entertainment day and night. By installing AMERICAN shutters’ Security Shutters in your outdoor braai and dining area, you not only stop the weather from interfering with your menu, but you also ensure the safety of your family and guests while seated outside.
Security Shutters include a patented strip-proof Italian locking system that secures top and bottom bolts simultaneously to guarantee security from intruders, and because they have the same elegance and beauty of traditional wooden shutters, they do so without compromising on style.
With Security Shutters from AMERICAN shutters, you can use your outdoor spaces during winter and autumn as you do in the warmer months. So, get an early start to your summer and create an all-year-round, all-season-friendly, all-purpose outdoor space for your home.
