With the height of summer approaching, we are all spending more time outside. If your garden needs a revamp, you haven’t left it too late. Here are five simple ways to make your outdoor space somewhere you will love relaxing and entertaining.
Update the Fencing
If your fencing is looking tired, it will make your whole garden look messy. The good news is, so long as your fence panels are structurally sound there are quick and easy fixes out there. A fresh coat of paint can make all the difference, especially if you choose an unusual colour. Light and bright shades make a bold impact in a small space or opt for traditional browns. Adding climbing plants is another option or, for a quick and low maintenance fix, go for artificial greenery or flowers.
New Garden Furniture
Garden furniture is a fantastic way to update the overall look of your garden as, like fences, these large items draw the eye. How much space you have will influence the size of the furniture you choose but also think how whatever you buy will fit in with your current garden style. Complement wooden sheds or summerhouses with pieces in similar tones or if you have industrial style metal planters consider minimalist metal and glass furniture. Whether you are looking for wooden sun loungers, outdoor dining furniture or outdoor three-piece suites, choose a reputable brand like Vidaxl garden furniture for quality products that will last.
Add Bedding Plants
Colour is a key component of any summer garden so bring yours to life with bedding plants. Begonias, lobelias, nasturtiums, and geraniums will brighten up your garden and make it somewhere you want to spend your time. Don’t worry if you’re not green-fingered – these options look after themselves so all you need to do is remember to water them each evening.
Feature Fire Pit
If Love Island has you hankering after a fire pit, why not add one to your garden? With a wide range available on the market to suit all budgets and tastes, it isn’t out of reach.

With options ranging from solar-powered fairy lights to large-scale fixed lighting features, you will find the perfect way to create the atmosphere you are hoping for.
