Love spending time outside but hate how winter keeps you indoors? Just because it's cold it doesn’t mean you have to give up on your outdoor space for a whole season. With the right setup, you can keep enjoying your garden, balcony, or patio whatever the weather.
Here are three simple ways to make your outdoor area warm, cozy, and inviting all winter long.
1. Add Weather Protection
Winter weather can be unpredictable, but a good cover can make a significant difference. Adding a pergola or a retractable awning can protect your space from inclement weather (note a retractable awning may need council approval – it is wise to check before installing).
If you already have a cover but the space still feels a little chilly you may need something extra to shield your space from rain and wind; consider enclosing the sides with clear screens or roll-down blinds.
2. Invest in a Good Outdoor Heater
If you want to stay warm outside without sky-high energy bills, installing a far infrared heater is a game-changer. Unlike traditional heaters, they don’t waste energy warming the air, instead they heat objects and people directly.
Far Infrared heaters are energy-efficient, cost-effective, easy to install, comply with Australian safety standards, and provide instant warmth. In addition, they are made from 100% recyclable materials.

3. Make it Cozy
To make your outdoor space feel extra inviting try some of these simple touches to create a snug atmosphere:
-
Add a rug for added warmth underfoot.
-
Keep a basket of blankets and throws handy for you and your guests.
-
Add candles or fairy lights for a soft, comforting glow.
Sometimes warmth isn’t just physical, it’s about how a space feels. A well-lit, beautifully styled outdoor setting will make you want to spend time there, even when the temperature drops.
