Our Story

The outdoor room has become an extension of the home, especially here in Queensland. Graeme and Lesley Marett have a vast understanding of outdoor living and want you to experience the outdoor room with style and comfort.

With over 20 years of experience in the building, shading, furnishing and design industries, Graeme and Lesley Marett have brought their knowledge to the Queensland Sunshine Coast with outdoor living business, Living In Shade.

After running a high end conservatory design and construction business for 10 years, the couple noticed that customers were requiring specialized shading and furnishings solutions for their homes and outdoor areas.

They bring a very holistic approach to each job and leave no stone unturned.

“When we go out to look at a job we don’t look at it only from a sales perspective. We combine our building and design knowledge to provide practical solutions to our clients briefs.”

Living in Shade offers not only retractable roof systems, awnings, louvres and outdoor furnishings, but internal blinds and shutters also, to residential, commercial and hospitality clients.

We have developed a range of Outdoor products available in our online store that can be purchased and shipped directly Nationwide

Our experience is invaluable when planning how you want to live and play in your Home or Office.
