Like many of us, you may not be hopping on a plane to somewhere exotic this summer, but you can still get that holiday feeling by making the most of your outdoor space at home. Whether you simply want a quiet spot to sit and have your morning coffee, or want to make the most of those working-from-home days with an al-fresco lunch, we've put together our top tips on how to style your outdoor space this summer.
Take a Seat
When it comes to outdoor lounging and entertaining, finding comfortable and practical seating is key. Our beautiful set of 2 Hampstead Armchairs offer deep seats and a curved back to provide ultimate comfort, whilst adding a fresh and airy feel with their Scandinavian-inspired design. For larger spaces, our Heyshott Set offers ample seating for you and your guests to enjoy, with the matching table making a perfect spot to present the all-important drinks and nibbles. Whether your space is a small sun-trap or a spacious garden, here at Cotswold Grey you’ll find a stunning array of furniture to suit all spaces.
Bring the Indoors Out
To create a true extension of your living space, add texture and soft furnishings to your garden area to create a continual flow from your interior rooms. Fresh linen cushions like those in our Hampnett range add a sense of airiness, whilst our cosy yet lightweight Cashmere Throws are ideal for when the sun goes down but you’re not quite ready to say goodnight. Breathable and surprisingly lightweight, the cashmeres are unique in both tone and weave, and are versatile enough to be used for both cool summer evenings and cold winter nights.
Celebrate in Style
Make dining outdoors a special occasion with our wonderful range of luxury Champagne Buckets, available in a variety of designs and sizes. Go classic with the Fizz Champagne Bucket in Nickel or add a contemporary touch with the Love and Peace designs. Add a vase of fresh or faux flowers to the table, spread out the nibbles, fire up the barbecue, pop the champagne on ice and make the most of eating and drinking outside with family and friends.
Add Country Charm
Add charm and personality to your garden with our range of characterful stone Statues. Hand-crafted from locally sourced West Country Stone, our Woody Hare Statue adds charm and will be a firm favourite with the children too. Frost proof and weather resistant, our range of hard-wearing antiques can be displayed in your garden, big or small, all year round. They also make a charming addition to a conservatory, boot room or even on the front porch.
Planters and Pots
Whether you’re styling a patio, decking, garden or balcony, our collection of pots and planters filled with pretty flowers and lush greenery will transform the space. Potting a variety of annuals, perennials and evergreens will ensure your space looks attractive all year round. Create a grand entrance to your home with our Large Green Pot or opt for our Van Thiel Blue Swirl Vase to add texture and interest. With a diverse range of sizes and styles, our Pots and Planters are designed to fit even the smallest of sun-traps and are all available for immediate delivery.
