As the weather gets warmer, we’re dreaming of ways to bring the inside out. Whether it be socialising with friends and relaxing with our family, we will be spending a lot of time outside this summer. From solar lights and lanterns to decorating plain fences and walls with outdoor art, here are our top five tips to bring your outdoor space come to life.
Create an entrance
What better way to make an entrance than with our Honey & Wild Garden Arches?
They add structure, height and focus to your garden and can support colourful, scented climbing flowers or vegetable plants. Garden Arches also draw the eye by creating an enticing entrance for guests. They are also ideal for to create a defined walkway through the garden or acting as a divider between different zones.
Reflect
A great way to create depth and add another dimension to your outdoor space is by using garden mirrors. By placing a mirror in the right place, you can create a great sense of space and reflect light into any shady spots.
Our Solar Mirror collection will transform your garden into your own peaceful hideaway after dark. Coming in both traditional and contemporary shapes, our solar mirrors will harness the beauty of reflection and illuminate courtyards, walled gardens and patio areas.
Add personality
Garden art can be purely decorative and functional but also adds your own personality outdoors.
Flower stakes are a great way to accessorise and brighten up your garden and borders. Not only do they support a plants growth, they create depth and rustic character to your garden, providing colour and interest all round.
Our colourful collection of wall art will also brighten up your gloomiest days as well as your overall outlook on life. Hang up on your fence, wall or even on a table top as a fun and whimsical garden decoration.
Welcome nature
We all love spending time in our gardens, and enjoying the wildlife it brings to them. Research has revealed that engaging with wildlife can lower stress and lead to better overall mental health. Encouraging biodiversity is good for the ecological balance in the garden.
Our range of bird, insect and animal products will create a wildlife haven in your garden. The insect hotels and bird bath bowls are perfect for attracting a variety of species to your garden, whilst our hedgehog houses provide our favourite spiky mammals with a place to shelter and hibernate.
Let there be light
Whether you're relaxing on a warm summer evening or an autumn afternoon, outdoor lanterns and tealight holders are an amazing way to really set the mood and creat an ambient and cosy space.
Our traditional and solar lanterns are perfect to illuminate those darker corners in your outdoor space and allow us to spend longer outside as the sun goes down.
Candle and tealight holders make the perfect accompaniment to any table setting, indoor or outdoor! Lanterns and candle holders also make thoughtful and stylish gifts for the interior designer in your life.
