CAIRO WEST MAGAZINE HOME AND GARDEN
Shade Lovers
If swinging is your thing, a hammock is a garden‘ must’, the best we found was at Kian. Supported by a sturdy wooden frame, it can be placed in the perfect shady spot, and can easily be moved around to your heart’ s content. For garden umbrellas you really don’ t need to look much further than Tagoury’ s House, they have a huge range in all sizes, shapes and colors. Daghash is also worth a visit, not only for umbrellas, but also their large variety of tents and pergolas, just what is needed for some vital shade when you throw a garden party to remember.

Top Tip
Strapped for cash? A great way to re-invent your garden seating is as easy as a quick coat of paint or wood stain, and a few meters of fabulous fabric from the Print Shop. Cover drab or tired seat cushions with some of their up-tothe minute designs, and if you are brave enough, mix and match as well. Fabric starts from EGP 40 a meter, it is amazing how quickly and inexpensively you can turn your old tat into a design delight.
Beanbags
For beanbags we think that Ticas is hard to beat, they have bright, practical bags in a selection of styles and sizes that would stand up to all the rough and tumble your kids can throw at them. A handy hint, they have some rather nice monogrammed towels and robes as well, perfect for an afternoon’ s poolside relaxation.
