How to Create a Mediterranean Garden

With Mediterranean garden design trending for 2025, it’s no wonder we all want a little escapism in our lives. Discover our latest outdoor seating, colourful accessories, and al fresco dining inspiration, and create your own Mediterranean garden escape with Laura James. 

Relaxation Area 

Create your own Mediterranean style garden with an inviting space to relax with friends or simply enjoy some peace and quiet alone. Opting for a garden sofa set like the Shiro sofa, coffee table and armchair set is the perfect way to elevate a sunny spot on the patio, decking or garden lawn. Made from natural acacia wood, the Shiro set features woven elements at each side of the deep seat chairs and sofa for a chic hotel look. Shiro comes complete with beautiful plump cushions in a warm natural hue to complement this wooden set.

Pop it next to your sofa, add a patterned rug to complete your seating zone and relax in the sunshine with a glass of wine.

A comfortable and elegant dining option for outdoor entertaining is the Ashby wooden dining set with our Cove rope chairs, which will set the mood for dining outdoors. Natural wooden tones are a key element in creating that Mediterranean aesthetic and our new season Cove chairs with beautiful rope design add a modern touch to the classic wooden garden table. Enjoy drinks and a charcuterie board​ whilst relaxing and chatting with friends or serve up a Mediterranean feast for the family to enjoy.

Obviously, the climate in the Mediterranean is a little different to our climate here in the UK, but you can still get that same feel with plants that grow in a cooler environment. Some Mediterranean style plants that thrive well in the UK include lavender, olive trees and rosemary. Plus, vibrant coloured flowers like geraniums will enhance your very own Mediterranean oasis. 

Fresh smelling lavender and rosemary will certainly add to the Mediterranean look and feel, and you will instantly feel transported into holiday mode when you step foot in the garden. Why not go a step further and create an outdoor Mediterranean kitchen using the herbs for cooking up delicious food for your guests.

Get creative in your garden by introducing a Mediterranean colour palette with warm shades of ochre, paprika and earthy tones that will complement the plants and greenery in your garden. Opt for terracotta style plant pots and a colourful patterned garden rug like our Hemsby in yellow, available in different sizes to suit your outside space. You can also bring colour to your outdoor furniture with throws and weather-resistant cushions like our vibrant Selu cushion cover.

Our premium parasols are available with LED lights, perfect for shade in the day and extra lighting at night.
