Security Shutters are becoming more of a necessity than a luxury these days in South Africa, so let’s discuss how to incorporate them in your outdoor spaces.
Things are slowly starting to heat up in South Africa. We’re talking about the temperature here, not the other problems we face as a nation. As we head into the warmer months, our need to spend more time outdoors starts increasing. With that being said, it is great to have a space to go to where you can just let your hair down and enjoy the sun and cool breeze while feeling secure. The only problem is our outdoor spaces are usually the most neglected areas of our homes. During the winter and rainy spring season, we rarely set foot in those spaces, which is probably why.
Well, the time has come to give our outdoor patios and entertainment areas the much-needed attention it deserves. Thankfully it is quite easy to get this space looking at its best. With Shutterlux security shutters, you can revamp this area along with being able to secure it, seeing as the festive season is peak time for petty theft and home robberies.
Here are a few things you can to do to create a great outdoor space and add security with security shutters
1. Clean up! Tidy Up!
This is an excellent start to getting your outdoor spaces into tip-top shape. Before changing up anything, give your patio a good scrub down. Remove any broken items, and overgrown plants or trees. Use a power hose to clean the floors as this will immediately give the space a lift and fresher look.
If you have an outdoor fireplace, make sure to clean this area as well. Pack the wood neatly. By doing so, you will create space and a natural wooden feature which looks better.
Once you have cleaned up, you can make a list of décor items you would like to add to the space.
2. Outdoor rugs are a thing
It is all about grounding the space. What does that mean? When you place a rug into an area, you create a focal point which will make everything around it look planned and in place. Using an outdoor rug to round off the space is an excellent way to add texture and a new character to the area.
You can get outdoor rugs at any outdoor or homeware store. They are easy to keep clean and are very stylish.
3. Using security shutters to create designated areas and privacy
Depending on your home structure this tip might vary. If you have an open patio area with just a wall on the one side (usually the wall attached to your home), using security shutters to create surrounding walls is a great way to get the added privacy as well as securing your home and outdoor spaces. They are timeless elements due to their weather-resistant features along with a patented security locking system. Shutterlux security shutters will give your patio an instant facelift while still being functional and long-lasting.
Most people never think to add security shutters to an outdoor space, due to the harsh conditions. However, making sure your family can enjoy the outdoor areas without disturbing the neighbours or your valuables being stolen, they become a much-needed element in the space. Shutterlux security shutters are a great product to incorporate into your home both indoors and outdoors.
