Landscaping can transform backyards of any scale into nurturing, stylish oases. Whether it is a small yard in a densely developed inner city suburb or a property straddling the city/rural borders with the best of both worlds, outdoor living spaces provide a much-needed respite from the four walls of home or work. When introducing outdoor features into garden settings, installing a modern umbrella such as a Shade7 Riviera cantilever umbrella will elevate an outdoor space into something truly delightful.
For many, Shade7’s premium durable and beautiful sun umbrellas provide the essential solution of versatile shade as well as creating delightfully stylish ambience. Where Shade7 umbrellas are featured in the landscaping design, not only will the umbrella provide valuable UV-protection and many hours of safe outside enjoyment, but it will also improve the property’s aesthetic appeal.
Designer Sandra Batley of Flourish Gardens created an oasis incorporating Shade7’s premium Riviera cantilever umbrella at this generously proportioned Hobsonville property. The natural landscape is enhanced with practical introduced features and abundant foliage. The Shade7 Riviera cantilever umbrella featured here provides durable, effective shade, and at the same time complements the beautiful setting. The Riviera’s black anodised mast and black frame with charcoal canopy provide a unifying feature between the garden and house, harmonising with dark garden plants and house cladding, and contrasting with the light and bright natural elements of the garden and patio, making the setting shine.
Silver anodising is still the most popular colour for the Riviera mast and frame, but with black anodising now almost as popular as silver, Shade7 has now waived the surcharge for black anodising. Whether seen up close or from a distance, the neutral colours and attractive functional shape of the Riviera umbrella creates an inviting flow and harmony between dwelling and garden.
Shade7’s umbrellas are built to last, and will look beautiful for years if looked after, and covered with a cover bag when not in use.
Shade7 outdoor umbrellas offer many canopy colours and a choice of silver or black mast and frame, allowing you to choose a combination that will blend with and unify your space, or will contrast and pop against it, according to your personal tastes. With this comprehensive selection of colours, shapes and sizes, Shade7 will help you to achieve a stunning outdoor space you will enjoy sharing with friends and loved ones for years. Using Shade7’s fantastic configurator tool, you can view each umbrella from any angle, and virtually test it in your own space.
