Think about your garden as an extension of your home, or another room you can style. Introducing a large outdoor rug is the perfect way to add personality and style to your garden. Whether you decide to elevate your sofa or seating area with a rug we have a range of styles to suit your taste bringing texture and pattern to your garden. Opt for a pink outdoor rug like our Hembsy in paprika for a vibrant look under a garden dining table. The Hembsy rug is available in different styles and is 100% polypropylene meaning they are waterproof and designed for outdoor use.

A side table or small coffee table is a handy item to have in the garden, simply pop it next to your garden sofa or a couple of armchairs to elevate the space. It provides that extra surface for drinks and nibbles, whilst you relax in the sun. Choose from classic wooden tables such as the Willow, with a round tabletop and stylish slatted base.

The Jabari is available in grey and features a textured ribbed finish whilst the black Zaliki is round with a ribbed base for an ultra-modern feel. The terrazzo Karasi table features a textured arch design with flecks of paprika and mother-of-pearl.

Elevate your outdoor seating or dining area with one of our garden parasols to keep you shaded during sunny days. Choose from shades of cream or grey and discover, cantilever parasols, round, and square styles. You could enhance your garden with our parasols with LED lights for a touch of evening ambience. Don’t forget to choose a parasol base to match either the lean over and cantilever styles or the regular parasol.

Like cushions, throws and blankets are another way to add texture and colour to your garden. Throw them over the sofa, for a relaxed look. Choose a coloured style like the geometric Elborough or something more neutral such as the Nerja. Not only do they elevate seating in the garden, but they are ideal at sunset when it gets a bit chilly, just remember to bring them inside to store them.

The use of lighting in the garden can create a relaxed atmosphere especially after sunset. String fairy lights around a canopy, add solar lights to highlight the path and use portable lamps on tables like our rechargeable Brockhill lamp. The Brockhill features a retro style look and is available in green, clay and dark grey. Outdoor citronella scented candles will look pretty at night as well keep the bugs at bay.

During the times when we are not out enjoying our gardens, it’s important to keep garden furniture protected from the weather. This is vital if you do not have space inside such as a garage or shed to keep items stored away. Our range of garden furniture covers includes covers for our rattan cube sets, wooden garden furniture pieces and parasol covers. You can find the matching cover to the garden set in the product details.
