Create A Gathering Area

Create a gathering area, this could be a patio, deck or even just a corner of your garden with comfortable seating. Choose furniture that is comfortable and durable, and arrange it in a way that encourages conversation and interaction. Have people facing each other to encourage some great conversation, or to just unwind and enjoy the summer sun.

Add Outdoor Lighting

Adding outdoor lighting can help to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your garden. Use string lights, lanterns, or even candles to create a cosy ambiance. This will elevate your garden and allows you to use the space past daylight hours.

Provide Plenty Of Seating

When entertaining guests, it’s important to provide plenty of seating. Make sure that there is enough seating for everyone, consider adding outdoor benches or footstools that double as seating. If you are limited for space, consider adding furniture that can be easily stored away. Adding lounge sets or feature seating is an amazing way to involve people and can be useful if you need to squeeze an extra few people in. 

Incorporate a Fire Feature

With the cooler weather we experience in Ireland, incorporating a fire feature like a fire pit or outdoor fireplace can be a great way to stay warm and cosy. Not only will it provide heat, but it will also create a focal point for your outdoor living area. Firepit tables are an amazing way to incorporate this element into your new space.

Provide Shade

With the sun being much stronger in the summer it’s important to protect you, your family and your guests from the sun. Consider adding an outdoor umbrella or pergola to provide shade and keep you comfortable out in the heat.

Add a Barbeque

One of the best ways to spend time in your garden is by adding a barbeque. Whether it be a gas or charcoal barbeque you can keep your family and guests alike entertained. There's nothing like cooking and eating outdoors in the summer heat and enjoying quality time around the table.

Add a Splash of Colour

One of the easiest ways to spruce up your garden is to add some colour. Plant flowers in a variety of colours and textures to create a visually appealing garden. You can simply add colours by using some decorative pots, containers and garden rugs. Adding these simple decorative pieces will make your garden more inviting, allowing you to use this new extension of your home late into the year.

By incorporating some of these tips, you can create an outdoor space that is both beautiful and functional. Remember that the ideal garden is one that you can use for both entertaining your guests and one that caters to your needs.
