The summer holidays have arrived and spending time outdoors, enjoying the sun’s rays and the sunset breeze is a perfect plan. The best place to do this is in a chill out space, designed for this time of year, where you can watch the sunset while you enjoy a pleasant evening.
At this point, you will be wondering what a chill out space is. We tell you in this blog post!
What is a chill out space?
The term chill out has become popular in recent years thanks to the boom in this type of space. It means to relax or slow down, so a chill out area is one aimed at relaxation. It is a space which, over the years, has managed to adapt to itself to trends in décor and to the particular features of each business or establishment.
Although each chill out space is different, there are some shared characteristics in this type of space:
- Furniture must be very comfortable, robust and easy to clean.
- Evenings are usually accompanied by music.
- The predominant colours are neutral and warm.
- The lighting is usually warm.
Furniture for a chill out space
One of the main elements of chill out areas is the furniture. This should match the aesthetic of the surroundings but, above all, furniture should be extremely comfortable and functional. After all, it is what underpins chill out areas.
Firstly, in order to design this relaxed outdoor corner, you should prioritise certain furniture: sofas are key. For example, our MARINE sofa is perfect for this type of space. Its structure is made of white or taupe lacquered aluminium, a lightweight material which is protected from oxidation. With its anchors to join pieces together, which are very easy to fit, you will be able to combine them to your taste and according to your needs: it can be an individual sofa, corner sofa, middle sofa, pouffe or table. This type of modular products are highly versatile, ideal for chill out areas. Its cushions are also made with nautic fabric, very easy to clean and disinfect.
Secondly, it is important to have parasols or umbrellas that protect your chill out area from the sun. In addition to protecting you from the sun’s rays, it provides a pleasant area of shade. You can choose from different colours, stripes or fun models, like the MANILA parasol.
Our MANILA parasol boasts a steel structure, with a wood effect and provides a more natural aesthetic. It is made with strips of polyester raffia fibre which adds a holiday look. It holds UV UPF50+ protection and height adjuster. It has fibreglass rods for increased strength and UPF50+ sun protection. Its design and practicality make it perfect for chill out areas surrounded by nature.
Finally, it is also important to consider the layout of chairs and tables near to these chill out areas. The models with height adjusters are always a great option for the tables. Our ATTIC stool combined with our QUATRO HIGH table are the winning duo. Both products are extremely versatile, they are available in a variety of colours and are very easy to wash and disinfect.
Décor for a chill out setting
In addition to the furniture, decorative elements are key in this type of space, since they add personality and originality. Some of the most common elements are: awnings, decorative lights, candelabras, tall plants with artisan plant pots, pallets, etc. In terms of materials, wood or wicker usually take centre stage, as they provide a more natural, sustainable and comfortable look to these spaces. When it comes to colours, beige, olive green, white or brown are the most widely used. Combine them with summery patterns and get a unique chill out area!
