There's a slew of funky new
outdoor furniture designs available for dining, poolside relaxation and curling up with a good book, so start planning a backyard boost. After all, our travel and holiday plans may be restricted for some time yet, so why not turn our backyards into suitably swank or fun spaces to holiday at home?

7. Batik's Back!...Maybe It Never Went
Cushy and comfy is the new rule for outdoor lounging with plenty of choices in plush ottomans and plump floor cushions to choose from in beautiful outdoor fabrics like the batik shown here.
"Batik" originally has its traditional origin around 1000 AD, this technique was invented on the Indonesian island of Java. In Southeast Asia, tie-dyed clothing was considered a treasure and when done well it can be beautiful but of course there are some tragic batik's out there.
I think you will agree this Badu Batik outdoor lounge from German company H.O.C.K, looks so vibrant it brings all the holiday feels right into your home. I can see myself sinking into that cushion for the long haul!
