With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, here are 5 styling tips to inspire you to Love Your Outdoor Space. Whether you entertain guests, or chill solo, we have the best tips of the trade here for you.
1. Create a cosy seating space
There’s nothing better than coming home from a long day and having the evening to relax. We can’t do this without cosy seating. Opt for weather resistant, yet plush furniture and fluffy cushions so you can kick back with a cuppa… or something stronger if you prefer!
Use our Composite Decking to top a built-in bench, to blend your seating area seamlessly with the hardscape. Add our B Cushions with a blanket to provide texture, that extra comfort.
2. Never underestimate the effects of adding greenery!
A bit of lush greenery looks appealing, whether real or artificial. We love the look of our low maintenance Artificial Grass, newly added to our website. Pair this with oversized planters filled with bright flowers for a modern touch. Thank us later when it comes to mowing the lawn in the Summer!
Not a fan of faux? Use Lawn Edging to enhance a crisp and neat border between your fresh aggregates and grass. This really softens the look and will impress your guests to the fullest!
3. Arrange your own multi-purpose zone
Set up an outdoor dining area to compliment the lounging area we talked about earlier in Tip #1! Use a weather resistant dining table with chairs, with room for an impressive gadget, such as a Pizza Oven or pool table.
4. Illuminate surrounding areas
What better way to complete a serene environment than a nice, warm glow?! Use cosy white string lights across open spaces or draped over trees and canopies to create a magical ambiance.
Take it that extra step further by adding a line of low, elegant lights up a walkway to highlight the gorgeous paving you’ve laid! After this, think about where your firepit is going to go… you need a focal point to complete the look of course. And psst: you didn’t think we’d talk about setting a calm atmosphere without a mention of our trusted range of Firepits did you?
5. Natural elements don’t go a-miss
So, you’re all warmed up on the built-in bench, you’re warm by the firepit and you’re all full up from the delicious pizza. What could make this better?
The calm sound of water, trickling along with the crackle of the flames. Combining these two elements is the recipe for tranquillity, and we’re sure any guest you have would agree with us!
