The outdoor office
Lots of us work indoors for hours every single day, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for embracing our natural surroundings. However, there are lots of benefits we can get from being out in the open air. A multi-purpose, retractable awning allows you to think of your garden as an extra room of your house and create the ideal setting for outdoor working.

Take your style outside
The design of your awning is just as important as your indoor furniture and décor. Whether you want a contemporary look for your garden or a bright and colourful awning that will create the perfect play space for the kids, our extensive range of plain and striped fabrics includes something to suit all styles and tastes.

Cosy date nights alfresco
"While the long summer evenings might be over, we are still making the most of our outdoor space under our incredible awning from @hillarysblinds. The awning creates a cosy, private screen, and is the perfect venue when you are craving some quality time together but don’t want to leave the comfort of your home."
"Our recipe for the perfect date night is a warm fire, flickering candles and a bottle of fizz 🥂"

Relax in style
Sally’s top tip for outdoor styling is to think about how you want to use the space. Perhaps you want to entertain, enjoy al fresco dining or create a relaxing outdoor retreat. This will give you a focus for the furniture and accessories you will need. An awing will create a lovely shaded area throughout the day. Keep things cosy with soft and textured with furnishings and garden-friendly cushions, rugs and throws. Layer them up for comfort and a pop of colour.

The installation experience was just so quick. I couldn't believe it. It’s a complicated thing to do but my Hillarys installer was so speedy and efficient.
Bringing the indoors out
The design of your awning is just as important as the décor inside of your home. Your expert Hillarys advisor can help you choose a fabric that complements the textures and colours of your interior décor to create symmetry between the two spaces.
We also offer custom colour options for cassettes, so you can match your awning to your windows and doors.

Extending our living space
Hillarys Interior Squad member, Soozi shares with us how her new awning has transformed her garden. "I can't believe how much our new awning has transformed how to we use this previously unloved & unused space next to the house. It's given us a wonderfully cosy spot to sit (even on cloudy days), an extension to our living space that protects us from the sun whilst also giving us privacy from upstairs windows. It's mine and my husbands favourite place to spend time together.

I liked the idea of having inside and outside together, and my advisor helped me create this kind of symmetry between both spaces which I really enjoy

This outdoor room is our office during the week days, and our party zone at the weekends. We’ve hosted lunches and dinner parties, we use it for yoga and coffee. It’s an extension to our house which I can operate at the touch of a button to appear when needed.
Sundowner cocktails
An awning is a great way to create an outdoor space for evening entertaining. Make sure there's plenty of seating and a few tables around so people can put their drinks down, and perhaps some fairy lights to make the place feel cosy. Lighting is often overlooked in a garden, but you can easily achieve a soft glow with lanterns or festoon lighting strung about the space.

Having an awning means we can stay outside for longer, which is lovely. Sometimes we have friends around and we can drag the bar cart out, have a few cocktails and enjoy some adult space.

Enjoy the outdoors
"This awning is going to be the making of our summer! I love entertaining outside and now we have the perfect set up. This side of the house is my favourite spot - when the weather is good, it’s a perfect little secluded sun trap but it needed something special to turn it from “sometimes used” to “always used”, and the awning is the perfect solution! It’s automated so just a touch of a button and we are either protected from harsh sun (or bright light on my computer screen - I do intend to move my desk out here. Not kidding!) or we have a new cosy, warm spot to socialise and just enjoy being outside. There’s a heater, there’s a light, it’s beautiful and it makes me feel like I am now living in the south of France."
