One of the biggest trends for outdoor spaces in recent years has been transforming terraces, patios or gardens into lounge-style relaxation areas. Now you can take it to ultimate comfort levels by laying a hardwearing and stylish rug (tapis), even choosing one that complements your existing interior decoration.
Essonne-based firm Un Amour De Tapis makes this Kilim rug (above), made from woven polypropylene and measuring 230 x 160cm. It is 5mm thick. The rug is water-repellent and has the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label, which guarantees that it contains no substances toxic to your health or the environment.
If you intend to keep pet rabbits at home, you need a sturdy clapier (hutch).
This Nina wooden hutch from Habitat et Jardin measures 102 x 55 x 100cm and provides comfort and safety for your pet bunnies – it offers good ventilation and a stable structure.
Arranged over two levels, it has three doors for easy access for cleaning, feeding and daily care. Made of sturdy wood with an asphalt roof, it provides excellent resistance to outdoor conditions. Reduced price at the time of going to press.
