Australian Lifestyle Inspiring Fashionable Outdoor Furniture & Decor
With the exception of New York City, most influential fashion trends are sewn together from places like Paris, London, and Milan. When looking for the latest trends in clothing and shoes, most look to the fashion gurus overseas on how to drape their body in everything from Christian Dior to Louis Vuitton. Some seek out the latest in haute couture–exclusive custom-fitted clothing for those who do not know the term–in order to stand out among the masses.
Coco Chanel once said, “fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, [and] in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, [and] what is happening.”
As consumers, sometimes we only think of fashion in terms of trendy clothing, and designer accessories; however fashion should be extended into other avenues. I thought I would start first by putting fashion into my backyard. (No, I don’t mean I took my Louis Vuitton bag and placed it outside.) I challenged myself to redesign my home inside and out. I used to only think about my wardrobe but my home should also have high quality goods on display.
Like I said before, I look to the fashion gurus overseas for the latest collections. In order to find trendy modern furniture, I used the same technique which ultimately led me to discover one of Australia’s premier furniture companies that not many people know about.
Harbour Outdoor International, Australia’s leading contemporary outdoor furniture manufacturer, announced the opening of their North American headquarters and distribution center last month. Harbour Outdoor’s collection of contemporary outdoor furniture includes everything from dining settings to sun lounges that suit every type of environment. This company has set out to influence consumers on how to create a modern outdoor oasis, in a very fashionable way. The company ensures that consumers will learn about the Australian lifestyle, and coastal culture. With a number of distributors located throughout North America, Harbour Outdoor guarantees streamlined customer service.
Harbour Outdoor’s Roma Collection reminded me of one of my favorite Louis Vuitton handbags from the Prefall 2010 collection. I created my fashionable outdoor oasis using Harbour Outdoor’s Roma Collection and the Louis Vuitton handbag as my inspiration. The best part about this outdoor furniture is the aluminum powder coated frame which makes it 100% maintenance free. The coating creates a durable protective finish that ensures my furniture will with stand wear and tear.
For extra comfort, I added a few red pillows made from Sunbrella fabric to the sun lounges. Sunbrella fabric is specially made for outdoor use, and will not fade in sunlight. You can find plain pillows at places like Pottery Barn. Online they offer their customers some great deals that you may not encounter in stores. I also created a place setting on the dining table that resembled the color palette of the handbag.
I finished off my fashionable oasis with a touch of American pride, a brand new grill. Nothing’s more American than enjoying a hamburger outside on the patio during the summer. Weber Grill has an abundance of stainless steel grills for consumers to choose from. These grills are not only great to grill on but they are very durable. ()
Hopefully, using these products you will be inspired to create your own fashionable outdoor oasis that embodies the wisdom of Coco Chanel.
