Alfresco Style: How to Take Your Interiors Outside
When the sun is shining, there’s nothing better than relaxing outdoors. With a few clever touches, you can bring your signature indoor style outside and create a beautiful garden space that’s perfect for lounging, dining, and soaking up the fresh air. Whether you’ve got a spacious patio, a balcony with a view, or a pocket-sized courtyard, these alfresco style tips will help you make the most of every sunny moment—with a little help from your favourite sheepskin pieces, of course!
1. Create an Outdoor Room
To master alfresco style, start by thinking of your garden as an extension of your home. Use furniture, plants, and accessories to define zones for dining, relaxing, or entertaining. A sheepskin-covered bench or chair makes a fabulous feature piece—and adds a cosy touch you don’t often see outside. Even a compact outdoor space can feel stylish and intentional with the right layout.
2. Add Texture with Natural Materials
Alfresco style is all about comfort, and texture plays a big part in that. Combine materials like wood, rattan, and cotton with soft, fluffy sheepskin to bring warmth and depth to your outdoor setting. A sheepskin throw on a garden chair or a stool with a sheepskin seat adds instant softness and charm. At Baa Stool, we offer 30 baaeautiful sheepskin colours, so there’s one to match every outdoor scheme—from subtle neutrals to joyful summer brights.

4. Blend Style and Function
A truly stylish garden is one that works hard and looks good. Think about multifunctional pieces—like a sheepskin footstool that doubles as a side table, or a bench that offers both seating and visual appeal. Add in comfy cushions and a throw, and you’ve got a space that’s ready for anything from barbecues to solo reading sessions.
5. Prioritise Comfort
Comfort is the secret to alfresco style that lasts beyond five minutes. Swap hard garden chairs for something you’ll want to sink into—like a soft sheepskin-topped stool or bench. And don’t forget: while sheepskin is wonderfully breathable, it’s best to bring it indoors when not in use to keep it looking its fluffy best.
