Take a seat
The furniture and outdoor seating in your garden plays a big part in what your outdoor living space will look like, so you need to carefully consider where it will go and what it will look like.
Small space?
Don’t worry a stylish bistro set is the perfect outdoor seating arrangement for you. It folds away and can be stored easily, meaning you can protect it for years to come. Plus, they come in many different styles, so there is bound to be one to match your personality.
Love entertaining?
If you’re the hostess with the mostess then you need to get yourself a six seat dining set, perfect for outdoor dining. It gives you the room to host but the lightweight foldable chairs makes seating arrangements flexible.
Want an indoor experience, outside?
Nothing says indoors, outdoors like a cosy outdoor garden sofa. They’re the perfect permanent relaxing outdoor arrangement. Create a stylish outdoor space by adding patterned cushions and pillows. Ideal for sunny coffee mornings and late nights under the stars.
All about the kids?
You need something practical but still stylish! With young kids running around you’ll want to save as much space for them as possible which is why a stylish bench set is perfect. Great for outdoor dining and they tuck away nicely.
Let there be light
Don’t let the Summer fun stop when the sun goes down. Add some lighting to your outdoor space and let the fun continue for hours. It’s true what they say, a little really does go a long way. Use solar powered string lights, lanterns and pendant lights to add some ambient lighting and create a great chilled party atmosphere.
Turn up the heat
Don’t scurrying indoors when the chill of the night comes – warm up with outdoor heating such as chimineas, fire pits and outdoor fireplaces. Chimeneas provide the greatest amount of heat and are perfect for large parties or big gardens. While many fire pits feature a grill for toasting marshmallows and other late night treats.
