Boost the barbecue With extra people around, the barbecue is bound for a workout so be sure it's up for the task. Bunnings barbecue specialist Matthew Hoffman suggests starting with an external scrub using hot soapy water, then removing the grill plates for a clean with a grill brush or scrubber. Inspect the burners to ensure they're not covered in grease and grime. “Clear out the grease tray and add fresh Fatsorb, and for gas barbecues, check the regulator and hose for any splits or missing seals," says Matthew. “When reconnecting the regulator to the bottle, use soapy water to check for any leaks at the connections at the bottle and barbecue." Set an alfresco scene Socialising and relaxing is so much better in a reinvigorated entertaining area. Give paths and patios a pressure clean and treat outdoor furniture to a wash and gentle scrub with detergent. Check the care label to see if you can pop outdoor cushion covers in the washing machine or, if they're beyond salvation, find out if it’s possible to order replacement covers. Adding a stylish outdoor rug and a scattering of new cushions also gives an instant invitation to settle in. Green up outdoor areas Even just a few plants can revitalise a lifeless corner. On a deck or a patio, Katy Schreuder suggests using as big a pot as you have space for to create maximum impact. “Palms and strelitzias work well in large pots to create a tropical vibe and dwarf bougainvillea will give a lovely display of colour,” she says. For fragrance, Katy recommends pots of small perfumed shrubs such as boronia, pendulous camellia, lavender and geranium. A trio of pots in different sizes with a mix of contrasting plants also looks great. In a tight space, use hanging plants as a cascading verdant backdrop — think trailing devil's ivy, rhipsalis or hoya.
