1) Shape

Considering the shape and style of your home and outdoor living space is really a key point to consider within designing your exterior space, you really need to take a step back and take a look of what already lives in your outdoor area before deciding what you’re going to add to co-exist with it. At GOSS Outdoor we have an array of so many different shading systems for you to choose from that will compliment your home beautifully. Our sloping profile models such as the Falcate provide a softer aesthetic look to where they are placed, or if you’re more of a fan of a bolder more defined statement, our contemporary Zeus series would be the perfect addition to your exterior.

2) Seasons

Taking into account how your exterior space will look throughout the different seasons is another tip, now we’re not saying you have to have a different shading system for each system, but instead thinking about how you can cater your exterior space to the different seasons. One of the main thoughts needed for this is the colour of your shading system - does the colour suit your home? Will it look as good in the winter as it does the summer? Thinking about your systems colour is important task and our sample guides can help you with just that. Elevating your system through the use of decoration such as plants and pillows for different seasons can really boost the seasonal aesthetic of your exterior space too.

3) Lighting

One thing that cannot be ignored is an exterior space’s lighting, if you’re exterior space is not illuminated to its full potential you are going to lose the desired look of having a stunning, glowing, inviting exterior space; none of your stunning features such as a shading system will pop out as much as you want it to.

A great choice for an addition to your exterior space is having a heater, a beautiful exterior area that you can use all year round thanks to your heater is a dream come true.
