3 Ways To Upgrade Your Garden for Summer

3 Ways To Upgrade Your Garden for Summer

As the weather begins to warm up and the evenings turn from dark to light, it’s time to look ahead to sun-kissed evenings and warm afternoons spent lounging in your garden.

We all want a cohesive look in our garden that matches the interior of our home and embodies our favourite styles. Whether it’s a stylish city hangout or a cosy cottage, having the perfect garden to entertain family and friends or relax in the sunshine is a must-have this summer.

Below are our top three tips for upgrading your outdoor space and getting your garden summer-ready.

Sleek Slatted Fencing

Looking to create a stylish and sleek garden? Don’t just stop at sophisticated furniture; ensure your garden is complete from floor to fence with our Dark Grey Fence Slats.

Providing additional privacy as well as a sophisticated look, our Dark Grey Fence Slats will take your outdoor space from ordinary to extraordinary. To create a modern and stylish atmosphere on your patio or garden perimeter, why not style this fencing with sconce lights for a warm and homely ambience?

Decorative Screens

Screens are a stylish alternative to standard wooden fencing and can be used to conceal areas in your garden rather than completely block a space out; they also offer an additional aspect of privacy to your outdoor space.

If you’re looking to achieve a tropical-inspired or contemporary feel to your garden, incorporating decorative features with products such as our Blossom Screens can spruce up any space and bring life to your existing, boring fences.

All our decorative screens are a maintenance-free alternative to standard wooden fencing and offer a beautiful, timeless aesthetic.

Choosing a screen with a pattern or cut-out features will allow you to create private yet styled areas around your garden. Cut-out features are great for concealing things such as bins, compost heaps, garden tools & more.

Add some excitement to your fence paneling or flower beds with our extensive range of stunning decorative screens on-site. We’re guaranteed to have something to match your style. 

Build a Pergola

This summer, create a stylish space to shade from the sun by incorporating a pergola into your garden.

Pergolas are a fantastic and modern design feature that brings a sense of the indoors outside, offers practicality, and adds a stylish feel to your garden’s dining or lounging space.
