I know the weather has been awful, but I remain positive that Summer is coming soon. I have just created a new decked area in my home and I’ve been looking at everything garden/outdoor space-related. The great thing about outside spaces, is that you don’t have to spend a fortune – a few pretty additions like cushions, lights or a hanging lantern will make a huge difference.
Here are my top ten high street buys this summer.
A relaxing hammock
A hammock swing chair provides a relaxed and peaceful space to sit and enjoy reading a book in the sun.
A stylish parasol
A stylish and colourful hand-painted parasol will instantly create a stunning focal point to any garden.
A pretty hose
Garden hoses are pretty ugly. I saw these pretty Scandinavian designed hoses online and I thought they were perfect. They come in five muted colours to blend into your garden.
An oak wellington rack
Wellingtons need to be stored upside down. This beautiful oak wellington rack will keep them dry whilst looking stylish too.
An easy-to-store bistro set
Looking bright and beautiful in rich orange, this classic metal bistro set oozes outdoor style. The easy-to-fold design makes it easy to store.
Comfy mattresses
These hand-spun woven and dyed cotton overlay mattresses are made on a traditional loom in West Africa and are brilliant for layering in a sunny garden spot.
A hurricane lantern
These elegant antique black metal Sia lanterns provides the perfect silhouette for a church candle or tealight.
A string of festoon lights
Bright and stylish, a string of festoon lights will light up your space. Stirng them up all around your garden or patio.
A jazzy tablecloth
This gorgeous tablecloth from Maison Dinette features a striking block print check and floral design in green and pink. Perfect for outdoor dining.
A washable outdoor rug
The extra-durable, machine-washable material of these brilliant rugs is designed for both outdoor and indoor use – perfect for families with kids or pets.
The high street really is full of gems to create a stylish outdoor space. I hope this has given you some ideas.
