Design Ideas for a Small Outdoor Space

Fermob was featured in a Casual Living article featuring key trends for designing for small outdoor spaces. The article was titled “Space Conscious: Appealing to Consumers With Small Spaces.”

From tiny houses to popular apartments and condos, designing for smaller spaces is a challenge for people looking to create their ideal home without sacrificing style due to less real estate.

People love spending time outside on their patios, balconies and in their backyards whether they live in the city or the country.

The trickiest part of designing a compact outdoor space is finding furniture with form and function to make the most of every inch.

Casual Living highlighted Fermob’s Bistro collection:

“Pieces that have a mounted or built-in design, such as Fermob’s European-style fold-down Bistro balcony table…allow apartment and condo residents to make the most of the very limited space of their balconies and patios. They also address another important consideration – storage – by folding away when not in use.”

Another tip for designing for small spaces is finding pieces that also act as storage. Multifunctional pieces like storage benches and bar carts allow for storage and also serve as additional seating and tabletops.

Fermob’s Luxembourg bar cart provides mobile storage that serves as an extra side table and serving tray that adds a pop of color to your outdoor space and gives you options for entertaining as well as decorating such as holding plants and greenery to add a finishing touch.

Available in 24 colors, the Luxembourg Bar Cart with Wheels features a removable tray top, wheels for easy transportation and a wine rack on the bottom shelf. The cataphoresis finish, a high protection treatment, makes it perfect for outside use.
