If you're planning on entertaining family and guests in your garden this year, then you need to make sure it leaves a good impression. Here are 7 simple ideas to help you make the most of your outdoor living space.
Heat Things Up With a Firepit
The Garden Furniture Centre
Stylish, elegant, and striking, a garden table with a firepit will get your friends and neighbors talking.
While many garden dining sets with firepits are made from rattan, this particular beauty is made from teak and a heavy-duty steel frame.
Forming a perfect centerpiece for the garden, this 8-seater combo means you'll want to dine outside more than inside!
Add Curves & Archways
There are many ways to design your garden. The way in which you choose will tell guests a lot about your personality.
While some backyards look energetic, others can be autumnal, and some are created to replicate indoor living spaces - but outdoors.
Adding circular patterns and curved archways draws focus and "centres" people.
Be Creating With Lighting
Introducing different types of lights can dramatically change the feel and atmosphere of your garden.
Low-level lighting can help illuminate plants and flowers, while string lighting and occasional lights can bring warmth and glow.
Be careful not to go overboard otherwise your patio and decking could look cheesy and cheap!
Prioritize Comfort & Relaxation
It's all well and good having a nice looking garden - but is your garden furniture comfortable?
A cozy and relaxing seating option is the classic hanging egg chair swing.
These bad-boys look sleek, and super soft, and can rock you to sleep like a newborn baby!
Bring The Beach Bar Home
Save money for a holiday by not going on holiday!
Set up a small yet reliable bar in your own garden and bring the holiday to you.
You'll save all the hassle of the airport and won't get sand in your shoes!
Use Railway Sleepers For Plants and Tree Beds
With almost infinite ways to pot plants and trees, we've uncovered one you might not have seen.
If you're handy with a hammer and nails, why not get your hands on some railway sleepers and make bedding pots out of them?
These are low-cost, high-impact garden ideas right here.
Remember About Lazy Sunday Afternoons With a Hammock
What better way to laze around on a Sunday afternoon than by chilling out in a hammock?
While the one in this picture is attached to a couple of sweet pine trees (which we don't expect you to have) most hammocks can be bought with a stand to attach it to.
Other alternatives include swing hammocks, but I feel the traditional style is the best way forward here.
