Living in the city doesn't mean you can't escape to the great outdoors! At D.O.T. Patio & Home, you'll find everything you need to transform your backyard into an oasis of calm, where you can entertain, play with the kids, or just park yourself with a book and a pitcher of iced tea for an afternoon of R & R.
When thinking about the essentials of outdoor entertaining, friends and family come first, but great furniture is right up there on the list. D.O.T. Patio &
home's extensive collection goes way beyond traditional lawn chairs and patio tables. Combine a cafe table with sharp bar swivel chairs for a hip, fun look.
Or outfit your space with the latest in form and function -- comfortable sling chairs that look great and feel even better. For affordable refinement, cast aluminum is as pretty to look at as it is tough and resilient.
The Bellini Cast Series offers a variety of looks, including the Lombardy with its ornate swirls, and the Madison Weave with its contemporary basketweave pattern. If it's the beach you pine for, consider wood furniture, such as rich teak -- the classy Bionda collection features chairs for less than $100. Or have a look at Copper Teak, which comes from the plantations of Vietnam. It's stronger and denser than teak, with a copper finish that perfectly complements nature's own colours and textures.
Once you've decided on your major pieces, it's time to look at accessories, those little things that mean so much. Perfect lighting can make all the difference, and there's nothing more beautiful than an elegantly lit summer evening. Ornate lanterns, minimalist torches or romantic candle holders -- the choice is yours.
And you don't have to let the weather drive you indoors. Whether you're taking shelter from the humid heat, or ducking out of the rain, gazebos and sturdy umbrellas are essential.
Decorative fountains and bird baths are charming just to look at, and will also attract the birds that will help make your garden grow. You can even pick up your patio dishware while you're at it!
D.O.T. also offers beautiful rattan, wicker and wood collections perfect for your sun room -- or your living room! In addition to tables and seating, a wide variety of storage solutions featuring up-to-the-minute baskets includes chests of drawers, wine racks and kitchen trolleys.
D.O.T.'s mix & match philosophy allows you to choose the individual pieces that best suit your needs -- mix co-ordinating pieces, get the extra chair your family of five requires, or throw in a lounger for a custom look. With low by-item pricing, you can get what you want without paying a premium.
Once you've decided on your furniture, complement it with the perfect cushions. D.O.T. designers have carefully selected more than a dozen fabrics, all colourfast and fade resistant.
D.O.T. guarantees the lowest prices around -- if you find a lower price on the same item within 14 days of purchase, D.O.T. will refund you the difference plus an extra 50%!
