Q+A
Susan Tait fromTAIT Outdoors
What’s the number-one rule when accessorising the outdoor room?
Create a focus with colour to highlight the space. A few accessories of the same colour palette combined will create a strong theme, bringing all the elements of the zone together.
What’s your “never fail” accessory item outside?
Cushions — they’re such a simple yet dynamic way to transform a space.
What’s your favourite piece to use outdoors?
Outdoor rooms are wonderful for entertaining, and what could be more social than having a campfire in your own backyard? Just add friends, food and a lovely glass of Australian wine and it’s magic.
