Styling for Summer
Are you Summer ready? As temperatures rise and restrictions ease, garden gatherings with family and friends are near the top of people’s agendas. To do this, making the most of your outdoor space is a must.
Here are easy ways to style your space:
1. It is
important to have plenty of seating options to be able to invite family and
friends over again. A modular corner set can provide a lot of seating space for
garden gatherings!
2. If you want
to enjoy breakfast in the sun or a glass of wine in the evening a compact bistro set can be the perfect option. It can turn your space (small or large) into the
perfect dining area for two.
3. Although we
are all hoping for a beautiful, warm Spring and Summer it may not always be the
case. A firepit set can not only be perfect for dining but can also keep you
warm and provide some ambient lighting at night.
4. Sliding pocket doors keep the flow
working seamlessly. With no perceived barrier, indoor dining feels closely
connected to the outside. Enjoying the comfy outdoor seating in the warm days
and moving indoors when the weather isn’t as favourable.
5. Greenery spilling indoors makes for
a really engaging backdrop, with lots of colour and texture. Large planters by
the sliding doors welcome the garden into our extension rather than blocking it
off.
6. Soft furnishings are easy to move,
creating a diverse, comfortable space, no matter the time of day. Fire pits,
along with cushions and throws really change that daytime sunbathing spot into
a cosy evening one so that the outdoor space can be enjoyable and comfortable
well in to the night.
7. Using natural building materials
further integrates indoor and outdoor living. Cork is a beautiful, versatile
product – we used it on the external cladding of the extension. Not only is it
thermally efficient (helping with insulation) but it’s 100% natural and hugely
sustainable, requiring no additional chemical treatment.
8. A hanging
chair or hammock in a patio corner is another way of making a relaxing nook.
Sometimes it is nice to be able to enjoy the garden space on your own to relax
or read a book. Hanging Egg Chairs are a great way to enjoy the sun in comfort.
