Using colour in your outdoor living can be daunting. A lot of people worry they will 'get it wrong', so they stick to neutral tones instead.

Planning, research and taking a risk can definitely pay off, and the result is a striking statement piece for your outdoors.

A lovely client of ours recently chose to install an Eclipse® Cantilever umbrella, and upgraded their canopy to a striking turquoise acrylic.

Adding this to their whitewashed deck, with a neutral colour palette, they have transformed their outdoor living area.

We are always thrilled when customers decide on a bold colour, or choose to have a striped canopy for their umbrella.

For more insight into using colour in your outdoors, read our latest Blog post here: https://www.instantshadeumbrellas.com.au/adding-colour-to-your-outdoor-living/

Our Sales Manager Alan spent Easter on the Sapphire Coast in southern NSW.
After stopping off at the @tathrahotel (est.1888) for lunch and to try some of their own Humpback Brewery beers on tap, he and his family went back for dinner the next night and caught a magnificent sunset and moonrise over the Pacific Ocean.

Instant Shade’s NOVA HD heavy duty umbrellas shade the deck area and stay open all year round on the windy headland.
They protect the visitors from the hot sun and occasional shower.

Next time he’ll head back in Whale Watching Season to watch some Humpbacks cruise past with a Humpback beer in hand.
What could be better!

The popularity of outdoor dining has increased due to Covid safe measures being put in place. Hospitality venues have upgraded and created new outdoor dining areas and parklets to meet the demand.
Our Nova HD umbrellas with integrated LED lights have been a popular choice as they create a beautiful ambience, are easy to use and provide additional lighting for diners.
The LED lighting is water repellent, and can be operated via remote control or via smartphone App.
They also look pretty cool when they change colour!

'How's the Serenity?'
A recent photo shoot at the stunning @rimbaretreat was the perfect backdrop to showcase our umbrellas. This luxury Bed & Breakfast is set on 13 acres of private land, and the tranquillity was breath-taking.
Our Monterey Auto Tilt umbrella was the ideal deck shade solution. With a 60 degree tilt, water repellent and UV resistant canopy, it's a great lightweight umbrella suitable for a range of settings.

Australian Summers can be scorching, and more warmer weather is forecast for this weekend. No longer should we 'Slip, Slop, Slap', we are now reminded to 'Seek Shade' as one of the key factors in avoiding sun exposure. Instant Shade Umbrellas range of umbrellas are UPF factor 80, which is the highest protection under the UV Standard 801. The UV Standard 801 has one of the most stringent testing in the world, and can be trusted when selecting UV shading products. For peace of mind on enjoying the warmth without experiencing skin damage, our range of umbrellas are a superior choice.

@arboryafloat are running another successful season on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne, and we are loving the sunshiny yellow and white colour scheme this year. Our Nova Heavy Duty umbrellas are being used once again to keep their customers shaded and dry, which is essential in Melbourne's unpredictable weather.
We think this season looks the best yet!

Our commercial umbrellas can help transform an outdoor space, and we think @frankstonbrewhouse has done a fabulous job with their new outdoor area. This micro-brewery and restaurant opened earlier this year, and is going strong despite all of the setbacks Victorian hospitality has had this year. It's the perfect spot for a pre-Christmas catch up, and you can even take your furry four legged pals too.
Our commercial cafe series umbrellas come in 4 sizes to suit your outdoor space, and can even be custom branded. For more information on our commercial range, click here: https://www.instantshadeumbrellas.com.au/commercial/cafe-commmercial-umbrellas/

Summer is officially 26 days away, and Christmas is not far behind! With many of us choosing to spend holidays at home this year, it's the perfect time to revamp your outdoor area. Our Eclipse® Cantilever umbrellas are a stylish and sturdy choice for your pool area, courtyard or deck. Made from marine grade anodised aluminium with an infinity tilt system and 360 degrees rotation, it's a fabulous choice to enhance your outdoor living.

We are nearly there Melbourne.....we've had enough coffees in takeaway cups with masks around our necks,
Walking the dog around the block
Home schooling, working from home
Empty streets, deserted markets, closed restaurants..
We cannot wait for our economy to open up again tomorrow, and look forward to re-connecting. The VIC Government's 'COVID-Safe Outdoor Activation Voucher Program' will provide Victorian businesses with $2,000 grants to use towards outdoor hospitality and entertainment. With a huge focus on dining outdoors, read more on our latest blog on how we can help you shelter your patrons with our large range of umbrellas.

We love a good before and after makeover, and think @yarrayarragolfclub certainly enlivened their outdoor space with our Nova HD umbrellas. They chose our 4m heavy duty umbrellas to protect their patrons, and we think it has completely transformed the space. There is a greater need to create outdoor dining alternatives in the current climate, and our Nova HD umbrellas are a great choice for shade and shelter. We hope there have been many happy golfers returning to the green this week!
⛳️🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏽🏌🏿‍♂️

We recently completed an installation at the fabulous @ponyfishisland who chose our Nova HD umbrellas in 4m square. Located in Southbank on the Yarra River, you will find this unique eatery under the pedestrian footbridge, which is only accessible by stairs. During lockdown they are still serving up takeaway and delivery of their pizzas, boards and drinks.
We think the customized branding turned out brilliantly. Our heavy duty commercial umbrellas are a great choice for this location, as they are water repellant and come with a 90km/h wind rating.

You really can't get more picturesque than this can you? The stunning @polishplacetamborine turning on the charm from the beautiful Tamborine Mountains in Queensland. Warm hospitality, delicious Polish food and views like this, it is worth adding to your must visit list. Set on the mountain in a windy location, they chose our Nova Heavy Duty umbrella in addition to our Eclipse Cantilever umbrellas to create shade and shelter for their customers. The neutral tones blend into the environment perfectly.

It's shaping up to be a beautiful weekend, and we look forward to making the most of this Autumn sun. How is it only 10 days until Winter?! It's the perfect time to start planning some backyard renovations and upgrades, and we've got you covered for your shade solutions. #instantshadeumbrellas #cantileverumbrellas #poolsideumbrellas #backyardrenovation #renovationinspiration

We are gearing up for a very busy couple of weeks, as we begin the slow process of packing and moving to our new warehouse. We love a good clean out, and have uncovered some hidden gems! The excitement is building, and we can't wait to start operating from our new bigger premises. Watch this space, and we'll keep you posted on the progress! In the meantime, it's still business as usual. For more info on our umbrella range, visit us here: https://www.instantshadeumbrellas.com.au/commercial/

How awesome does our giant 4m Square Nova Heavy Duty umbrella look at @mordialloc_cellar_door
The canopy was matched to the maroon signage, with the cursive branding also added. It creates the perfect rain and shade canopy for customers, and fits lots of seats underneath! The Nova HD umbrella also has integrated LED lights installed on the underside of the canopy for ambient evening lighting.
It's a great spot for a wine or coffee, and you can even order take away from neighboring restaurants to enjoy while you're there!

The Autumn weather is upon us, but there's still a little time before day light savings makes the evenings darker at an earlier hour. Make the most of dining outdoors under our Paraflex Wall Mounted Umbrella. Designed for smaller spaces, with a flexible arm and tilting canopy this allows you to create the shade where you want.

Another happy customer, this time at @thegurdieswinery in Philip Island. It's always lovely to receive nice feedback -
"Just wanted to show you how impressive your umbrellas look at our winery. Everyone enjoyed their glass of wine while sitting under them looking out over Western Port Bay.
They look great. We are very happy and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for your prompt service too."
Thanks Wendy! The weather in Victoria is looking beautiful for this next week, and this looks like the perfect spot to enjoy it this weekend.

Summer may be officially over, but the need for quality shade protection remains stronger than ever. Our Aurora Cantilever Umbrella is a stylish and light weight solution, with unlimited tilt positions to perfectly block out the low afternoon sun. We think it looks pretty impressive too!
#instantshadeumbrellas #cantileverumbrellas #poolsideumbrellas #renovationideas #outdoorliving

One of Melbourne's biggest sporting events is finished for another year, and we were priveleged to be apart of it once again. Although there were less crowds, and a lot more hand sanitizer, there was still the need for quality shade protection. Our Nova HD and branded cafe series umbrellas fulfilled the brief beautifully. Here's hoping next year is bigger and better! 🎾🎾

The most beautiful and unique spot to enjoy Melbourne's sky line and some of the tastiest cocktails and pizza is at @arboryafloat
It grows bigger and better every year, and we love the color scheme chosen this time to reflect Aussie beach culture. Our custom printed Nova HD umbrellas once again provide protection from the sun and rain, and look pretty stunning at the same time!

Repost from a happy customer in SA thanks to @sticksandstonesoutdoor of one of our Aurora Cantilever Umbrellas in custom Black and White stripe. We think it looks stunning with the neutral pallet and matching accent pops.
Our cantilever umbrellas are the perfect poolside companion, with an infinity tilt system on the mast and 360 degree rotation.

The stunning Tamborine Mountain in QLD is home to @polishplacetamborine a restaurant and accommodation with authentic Polish cuisine, art, and welcoming hospitality. This Thursday is 'Tłusty Czwartek', literally translated to 'Fat Thursday' - and is celebrated by eating as many Pączki (Polish doughnuts) as possible. With a view like this - why not?!
Our 5m Nova Heavy Duty umbrella allows guests to dine outdoors no matter the weather.

It’s that time of year between Christmas and New Years where you don’t really know what day it is, or where you’re meant to be! The perfect time to catch up with friends and reflect on the year that was. @barristersblockwines is a great spot for this with it’s beautiful alfresco dining area surrounded by plenty of grass to play on, a huge sandpit and a herd of gorgeous deer.
Our cafe series umbrellas are dotted throughout the area to keep you protected from the warm SA sun. Great food and wine complete the setting! Only a few days of 2020 left 🥳 #instantshadeumbrellas #cafeumbrellas #wineryumbrellas #marketumbrellas #longlunches #sagreat #adelaidehills

Counting down the days to a well earned break over the festive period - where has this year gone? We hope you get the chance to relax and recharge, and keep yourself sun safe with one of our beautiful umbrellas. Bring on 2021!

There's only 18 days until Christmas, and 23 until we say goodbye to the crazy year that was 2020. A great opportunity to take time out and enjoy the simple things - good coffee with mates, lunch with your four legged friend, or afternoon tea with family. @priscillajones in Gas Works Art Park is a great spot for this, serving up healthy homestyle food with a twist. Our 5m square custom printed Nova HD umbrellas keep customers shaded and dry, whilst creating an awesome pop of colour. #instantshadeumbrellas #heavydutyumbrellas #brandedumbrellas #outdoordining #christmas2020 #christmasspirit

We are loving seeing so many outdoor dining areas pop up around Melbourne, with cafes and restaurants making the most of the outdoor dining caps set by the Vic Govt.

Shown here are our black hire umbrellas at @consciouscravingsco a gorgeous vegan, gluten and refined sugar free cafe in Mordialloc.

Summer is just around the corner, which means BBQ's, long lunches and catch ups with friends and family. The Aussie sun can be intense if you don't have adequate shade protection for your outdoor living. Our Paraflex Wall Mounted Umbrella is a great shade option when you don't want an umbrella pole blocking your dining table. It's easy to use, light weight design makes it the perfect shade solution.
