If you’re planning to host a gathering with friends or family soon, then you need to head into Barbeques Galore Nunawading for all the essentials. They have a great range of barbeques in all shapes and sizes, outdoor furniture, fire pits, gardening supplies and entertaining necessities to suit all your needs. When planning a gathering it is not only important to think about the food and drink, but also how you are going to create your delicious menu and what is going to allow you to do so. It is also about crafting the perfect ambience and having enough comfortable seating to ensure your guests are relaxed and taken care of. Today we are going to be sharing all our top tips for how to build the perfect ambience, the best cooking essentials and creating a gathering your friends and family won’t forget.

 

Barbeques For Large Gatherings

When planning your next gathering, the first thing we recommend doing is creating the guest list and working out how many people you will need to cater for. Australia is the perfect place to host outdoor soirees as our weather is beautiful many months of the year. A BBQ is the great all-rounder when it comes to at-home entertaining as you can cater to many dietary requirements and cook large amounts of food in quick succession. At Barbecues Galore Nunawading we have a huge range of barbeques that are perfect for large gatherings with burners ranging all the way up to 8 plus! Ziegler & Brown have a huge range of 6-8 burner barbeques that will become the communal hotspot at your next gathering and allow you to feed plenty of hungry mouths.

 

Space Saving Barbeques

Our homes are intentionally thought out to ensure we make the most of every square centimetre and that is why space saving barbeques are a hot talking point when it comes to outdoor entertaining. Often, we (understandably) prioritise large outdoor dining tables and plenty of seating options for our friends and family, which leaves limited space for other items in our outdoor entertaining areas. This is why at Barbeques Galore Nunawading they offer a range of space saving barbeques to suit your requirements. With a range of compact 2 or 3 burner barbeques you are sure to find the perfect barbeque to suit your small space. There are also options for countertop portable barbeques or barbeques that are on wheels to easily store out of sight. We love the compact Ziggy Classic Twin Grill Natural Gas BBQ in gunmetal grey for a great portable solution.

 

BBQ Cleaning Tips

At Barbeques Galore Nunawading they know that cleaning your barbeque and maintaining its condition is just as important as preparing delicious meals. That is why Barbeques Galore offer a wide range of products to help you in keeping your barbeque looking pristine. A great starting point is the Beefmaster 5-Piece Cleaning Set that comes with a stainless-steel scraper, scouring pad handle and a variety of sponges to suit your cleaning requirements. They also offer plenty of stainless-steel spray cleaners to ensure your barbeque stays sparkling clean at all times. And to ensure you can not only house all your delicious food, but make cleaning up a breeze, they offer a huge range of aluminium trays and drip trays in every size you could possibly need.

 

Furniture For Outdoor Entertaining

Lastly, when creating the perfect outdoor entertaining space for your next gathering, it is essential to think about your furniture and ensure you have enough seating options and table space to suit your needs. Barbeques Galore Nunawading have a great selection of outdoor dining tables, chairs, lounges, umbrellas and so much more. With dining sets in a variety of sizes, colours and materials they are sure to have an option to suit your home style and design preferences. We are obsessed with the Palade 9-Piece Dining Setting with it’s gorgeous timber design and beautifully padded chairs for ultimate comfort.

 

So, the first step to take when planning your next gathering is to head into Barbeques Galore Nunawading. It is a one stop shop for ensuring you have the perfect barbeque to suit your requirements, cleaning supplies to ensure it stays in pristine condition and an array of outdoor furniture to set the scene.

top 4 summer entertaining trends outdoor furniture

Top four summer entertaining trends

Summer has finally arrived and with the change of season comes a new appreciation for our outdoor spaces! There’s no denying that the weather is close to perfect and we think that calls for a celebration of our hard-working front yards, backyards, patios, and other open-air spaces (you know, the spots that are dedicated to entertaining).

With that in mind, it comes as no surprise that outdoor trends are starting to rival the number of indoor trends! Keen to know more about the latest craze in the interior space (or should we say exterior space)? Below we’ve gathered some of the top outdoor entertaining trends.

Front yard focus

Enhancing front yard areas is becoming more popular than ever before and rightfully so. This space is so often forgotten about, yet it’s the very first area your guests will see upon arrival. We’re seeing front yard makeovers everywhere and they’re certainly upping the curb appeal of houses as a whole.

So, what are some key elements to incorporate in an on-trend front yard? For starters, manicured lawn is a must (no explanation needed). You’ll also want to think about symmetry –frame your front door with potted plants or incorporate symmetry into your landscaping. Rid the space of unwanted weeds and dirt (yes, time to pull out the weed killer and pressure cleaner). Lastly, if you have the space, consider adding a seating area. This could be a singular floating chaise or a pair of outdoor armchairs.

Tuscan design elements

Dreaming of summertime in Tuscany? Why not create the same feel at home? Tuscan-style décor is in with its warm colours, natural elements, and a touch of rustic charm. This trend is all-encompassing, so to successfully pull it off, Tuscan additions are required to all areas of your outdoor space. Check out our blog on how to moodpboard your interior spaces to bring your visions to life. Invest in wall hangings, ceramics, sculptures, terracotta pottery, and wrought iron furniture. Plant a variety of traditional plants like rosemary, olive trees, and lavender, and lastly consider an overall colour scheme – stick to olive greens, deep oranges, and even maroon.

Outdoor rooms

Much like the concept of open floor plan living, we’re seeing a trend develop where larger outdoor spaces are being divided into distinct areas or “rooms.” This includes outdoor kitchens, the use of pergolas, and contemporary poolside styling. Backyards now house multiple sections for seating, dining, and relaxation, rather than a single focal point.

Tip: if you’re struggling to create a divide between sections, look to the earth! Break up the areas by changing the flooring or ground texture. We recommend the use of gravel, tiles, and fresh grass.

Bold colours

Go bold with colours and say goodbye to muted hues with bright tablescapes, outdoor rugs, cushions, and statement furnishings. Minimalism is out and maximalism is officially back in!

We’re expecting to see splashes of colour everywhere this summer (indoors and out). Naturally, the Pantone colour of the year, Viva Magenta, continues to be a beloved shade this year. But hues of yellow and orange are also at the top of interior designers’ lists.
