Make space for outdoor dining

Sit and eat outside whenever spring weather allows with a hard-wearing but stylish garden table and chairs set. Start the day with a coffee and croissant outdoors, break up a WFH day with an al fresco lunch and have post-work sundowners on Friday evenings to mark the end of a busy week.

Choose from dining table and chair sets, colourful garden armchairs, or a picnic table and benches. Make it a special occasion every time with colourful picnicware and outdoor glasses. At weekends, add a vase of fresh flowers, put out nibbles, fire up the barbecue or heat up the pizza oven and enjoy your outdoor space with family and friends. String up outdoor fairy lights for the final flourish.

Create a relaxing retreat

If you have the luxury of plenty of outdoor space, consider dividing your garden into zones to enjoy throughout the day. Think about which areas are sunny and at which times. You might want to position your garden dining set in an area that gets morning sun for breakfast and place your comfy outdoor seating for relaxing in a spot that gets sun in the afternoon and early evening.

How about turning an underused area into a retreat where you can escape for some ‘me time’ with a good book, a podcast or the weekend papers? Our Lois corner bench is brilliant for chilled out spring days. Add a parasol to protect from the sun’s rays and finish with comfy outdoor cushions.

Set the scene with outdoor lighting

Make the most of longer evenings and stay outside long after dusk on warmer days with the help of outdoor lighting. There are lots of different types and looks you can create in your garden. For a dreamy glow, place scented candles on tables (they’ll also fragrance the air with essential oils).

Line paths and flowerbeds with outdoor path lights, dot lanterns around lounging areas or hang twinkling lights above dining or seating zones to set the scene for magical memories. Our new portable Colby rechargeable lamp comes in five colours to suit any outdoor space, from balconies to gardens.
