We sat down with Gloria Sanchez, director and founder of Tailored Living Interiors, and had a chat about outdoor spaces. Gloria is trained as an interior designer, and have a keen eye for the tendencies in the design and interior field. We asked Gloria her opinion on outdoor spaces and what demands and requirements she has when looking for garden furniture, here is what we learned.
Do you believe that the perception of the outdoor space has changed after the pandemic?
"The pandemic made the final push us into taking action towards improving the garden. Our original garden was very impractical and the design did not suit our lifestyle. After the renovation the garden, we have gained an extra room in the house and an extra dimension to our property. I come from the South of Spain where there is always warm and sunny. Despite the weather conditions in the UK, I am happy that I can now use and enjoy my garden to its fullest."![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0054/4810/6048/files/Gloria_s_Garden_-_WEB-22_2048x2048.jpg?v=1641297192)

Can you describe any trends within outdoor spaces?
"If there is anything that we have learned during the Covid 19 pandemic, it is to value our homes more than ever before. Multiple sources claim that people are spending more time at home than before the pandemic. The garden is an integral part of the home. We see many great investments being made towards improving these areas. I think this trend is going to continue and we will see people trying to create an extra room in their garden. Outdoor spaces can be made cosier with great light features, heating and even rugs to replicate that indoor cosiness. The future of garden design, I believe we will be seeing more bar areas, outdoor kitchens, pizza ovens and even bringing the cinema outdoors!"![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0054/4810/6048/files/Gloria_s_Garden_-_WEB-44_c4ad123c-df96-40ea-b86f-f7be2d8d4fb2_2048x2048.jpg?v=1641297713)
What are your demands and requirements, when looking for garden furniture?
"Quality and design. The furniture not only has to look amazing, but it must be able to withstand the outdoor weather throughout every season. I had no doubt when choosing furniture for my garden that Cane-line was my top choice. My line of work is Luxury Residential Interior Design. Nevertheless, occasionally clients ask us to help them with the outdoor space or a balcony."![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0054/4810/6048/files/Gloria_s_Garden_-_WEB-133_2048x2048.jpg?v=1641297624)
