Heating: If you enjoy curling up next to the fire inside, why not bring that pastime outside and build a fireplace. This is a perfect idea for people who enjoy spending a lot of time outside, even on chilly days. If you haven’t got quite enough space you can also look into buying a fire pit or hearth, these are just as good and are a great focal point.
Seating Options: If you plan on entertaining guests outside during the summer months investing in seating area is essential. To give your garden a bit of variety you can add benches, stools or comfy outdoor sofas for a relaxing and versatile experience.
Outdoor Kitchen: Having a BBQ in the garden is very popular amongst families and friends. If you’re the King of the BBQ and wished you could use it 365 days of the year, then perhaps installing an outdoor kitchen is the answer. By adding a dining table and chairs as well, an outdoor kitchen is brilliant for social occasions and boosts the beauty of your garden.
Focal Points: If you feel like splashing out on your outdoor living space, a great option is to install a water feature or piece of art. It will give your garden a fabulous focal point and a place for people to sit and relax around.
Lighting: For most of the winter months our gardens are in complete darkness by the time we get home, so why not beat the winter blues and install a range of different lighting to fit any mood. Waterproof fairy and solar lights are an excellent choice.
