The outdoor office

Lots of us work indoors for hours every single day, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for embracing our natural surroundings. However, there are lots of benefits we can get from being out in the open air. A multi-purpose, retractable awning allows you to think of your garden as an extra room of your house and create the ideal setting for outdoor working.

Cosy date nights alfresco

"While the long summer evenings might be over, we are still making the most of our outdoor space under our incredible awning from @hillarysblinds. The awning creates a cosy, private screen, and is the perfect venue when you are craving some quality time together but don’t want to leave the comfort of your home." "Our recipe for the perfect date night is a warm fire, flickering candles and a bottle of fizz 🥂"

Take your style outside

The design of your awning is just as important as your indoor furniture and décor. Whether you want a contemporary look for your garden or a bright and colourful awning that will create the perfect play space for the kids, our extensive range of plain and striped fabrics includes something to suit all styles and tastes.

Bringing the indoors out

The design of your awning is just as important as the décor inside of your home. Your expert Hillarys advisor can help you choose a fabric that complements the textures and colours of your interior décor to create symmetry between the two spaces. We also offer custom colour options for cassettes, so you can match your awning to your windows and doors.

Relax in style

Sally’s top tip for outdoor styling is to think about how you want to use the space. Perhaps you want to entertain, enjoy al fresco dining or create a relaxing outdoor retreat. This will give you a focus for the furniture and accessories you will need. An awing will create a lovely shaded area throughout the day. Keep things cosy with soft and textured with furnishings and garden-friendly cushions, rugs and throws. Layer them up for comfort and a pop of colour.

The installation experience was just so quick. I couldn't believe it. It’s a complicated thing to do but my Hillarys installer was so speedy and efficient.

Only available in Dublin, for now.

We know this might be disappointing but we’re working hard to expand this area, so everyone can enjoy a shady spot in their garden. To keep up to date with how we’re doing, sign up to receive our newsletters at the bottom of this page.

Let’s take this outside

Many of our customers tell us that they want to extend their entertaining space into the garden so they can enjoy al fresco living at all times of the day. Awnings provide excellent shade from midday sun, and if the temperature drops at night integrated lighting and heating options will help keep you and your guests comfortable so you can stay out for longer.

Extend your outdoor space

Awnings are the perfect way to extend the use of your patio year round, and you can add lighting and heaters to make it even more inviting. Create your cosy patio space and enjoy the outdoors no matter the temperature.

I’d highly recommend having an awning, it's a great feature to the garden. The quality is excellent and it’s completely transformed how we use this space.

I liked the idea of having inside and outside together, and my advisor helped me create this kind of symmetry between both spaces which I really enjoy

Easy peasy operation

Our awnings are motorised as standard making them super easy to operate with a handy remote control. Add a Somfy hub for smart operation, and you'll be able to ooen and close your awning via an app on your phone or even voice command through an Amazon Alexa or Google Home device.

Our Hillarys awning has completly transformed our outside space and how we use our home.

Hardelot Beige

Choose a design that will blend easily with your outdoor space and garden furniture. Here we’ve chosen a classic grey stripe to complement the stone patio and planters.

Sundowner cocktails

An awning is a great way to create an outdoor space for evening entertaining. Make sure there's plenty of seating and a few tables around so people can put their drinks down, and perhaps some fairy lights to make the place feel cosy. Lighting is often overlooked in a garden, but you can easily achieve a soft glow with lanterns or festoon lighting strung about the space.

Having an awning means we can stay outside for longer, which is lovely. Sometimes we have friends around and we can drag the bar cart out, have a few cocktails and enjoy some adult space.

Rome Green

Create a natural, easy style with a soft green striped awning. Paint your doors and window frames in a similar shade for a charming country cottage feel.

Enjoy the outdoors

"This awning is going to be the making of our summer! I love entertaining outside and now we have the perfect set up. This side of the house is my favourite spot - when the weather is good, it’s a perfect little secluded sun trap but it needed something special to turn it from “sometimes used” to “always used”, and the awning is the perfect solution! It’s automated so just a touch of a button and we are either protected from harsh sun (or bright light on my computer screen - I do intend to move my desk out here. Not kidding!) or we have a new cosy, warm spot to socialise and just enjoy being outside. There’s a heater, there’s a light, it’s beautiful and it makes me feel like I am now living in the south of France."

Verona Rouge

Our Rouge awning gives this garden a vibrant Moroccan makeover with Mediterranean style seating and geometric print cushions in hot spice shades.
