Outdoor Design.

First of all, it’s a good idea to determine what functions our outdoor space is to serve. Is it to be a place to relax, socialize, barbecue or grow plants? Each of these functions requires proper planning and organization of the space. When it comes to the relaxation area, it’s a good idea to have a quiet and intimate place, away from the hustle and bustle and the wind. The dining area should be easily accessible from the kitchen, providing a comfortable environment for outdoor dining. The barbecue area should be well-ventilated and safe, with adequate space for preparing and serving food. On the other hand, a small garden or planting area should have good sunlight and be suitable for the plants you want to plant there. If your space is limited to a terrace, the number of available features may be limited. In this case, we mainly focus on choosing the right furniture that will allow us to make the most of the available space.

“It is important to match the number of furniture to the size of the terrace. On a smaller terrace, a table and chairs will be ideal for comfortable outdoor dining. If you have a larger terrace area, you can consider additional benches, sofas or loungers, which will allow you to create a more comfortable space for relaxation and socializing.When choosing garden furniture, it is worth paying attention to their quality and durability. Investing in sturdy furniture will ensure our long-term enjoyment of the terrace, without the need for frequent replacement or repair. Furniture made of high quality materials will be resistant to weather conditions and will retain its attractive appearance for many years,” – advises Agnieszka Lesiuk, a respected interior designer and Domoteka Ambassador.

For aesthetics and durability, garden furniture made of wood is a great option. And what suggestions do top brands have for design lovers this season? Solid construction and great workmanship combined with exceptional design is the proposal of the cult brand NAP, in the collection of which you can find the Jack garden table from Ethnicraft. It was made from teak wood, which is known for its weather resistance, making it an ideal choice for outdoor use. Its natural shade and texture give its surroundings a unique charm, blending well with various design styles of gardens and terraces. Garden chairs from the same collection can serve as a complement to the designer set. Made of the same material, they provide not only sturdiness, but also comfort thanks to their ergonomically designed form. Ethnicraft’s signature designs are known for being made using traditional artisanal methods, respecting the environment and in the spirit of fair trade. The exclusive distributor of Ethnicraft furniture in Poland is NAP, whose showroom is located in the Domoteka Design Center.

An indispensable element of any well-designed garden space is also, of course, greenery. By adding plants to our surroundings, we not only expose their natural beauty, but also introduce elements that can serve as a backdrop for our furniture. Plants with decorative foliage or flowering shrubs that enrich the aesthetics of the garden are ideal here. You can consider placing large pots of lush plants on the side of the terrace or by the seating area, which creates a pleasant environment and provides a greater sense of privacy. Plants with tall, cascading leaves can also serve as a natural curtain, protection from the sun and windsays interior designer Marta Iglewska of the Interiorsy studio, which regularly collaborates with Domoteka.


Introducing greenery not only through vegetation, but also through furniture, allows you to create a harmonious and pleasant outdoor environment, ideal for relaxation and socializing. This is where designers from BoConcept and furniture from the Cancun collection come with an answer. This furniture is made of lightweight steel and aluminum, so it is durable and easy to care for. The collection includes chairs, sofas with soft cushions, as well as tables and poufs, and importantly, they are also available in this season’s trendy green color, which perfectly introduces an element of freshness and modernity to the garden arrangement. BoConcept is an international design brand known for its innovative designs and high quality workmanship. It has its showroom in the Domoteka Design Center, where all lovers of good design can find unique furniture to suit their needs.
What other (equally durable!) alternatives to wooden garden furniture are designers coming up with? Some materials may seem really surprising! For example, furniture from the Balear collection from Couture Jardin (Miloo Home showroom) in boho style has been complemented with weaves of lightweight but durable cord. The designers of the LOOP collection (available in the Garden Space showroom) decided on yet another solution. They proposed the use of a braided elastic rope with rubber inside, which, in addition to its functional qualities, is also an aesthetic distinguishing feature of the lounge furniture in this collection.
