The weather seems to have taken a turn for the better over the last week or so with spring and summer finally on the horizon! It is at this time of the year that we begin to pull our garden furniture out from storage, baffled by how it has managed to fall into ruin in just a year! Now that the sun is shining and temperatures are rising, it is the perfect time to start thinking about updating our garden furniture.
No matter how large or small your outdoor space is, it is inevitable that you will be looking for somewhere to sit comfortably this summer. Benches are an ideal way to create a focal point within your garden, adding a particularly dramatic look when placed under a tree or in front of your beautiful flower bed. There are a number of different styles available, with romantic metalwork and classic wooden structures all possible options. The ensuing months are about enjoying the outdoors and making the most of nature, so what better way to enjoy the sun than by grabbing a good book and reclining on your perfectly positioned bench!
Garden furniture is not commonly associated with being the most comfortable seating in the world, due to the need for durability, however there are many ways to style your garden bench in order to improve this. Outdoor cushions and blankets will help add to the aesthetics but also make for a more pleasant and relaxing experience altogether!
The development of waterproof textile designs has led to a great increase in the number of different styles and shapes available on the market. It is normal to stick to safer choices when accessorising pieces of furniture, with solid and neutral colours proving to be popular picks! However I want to assure you that being creative and quirky is not at all a bad thing. In fact, it is a celebrated trend to try and incorporate a variety of different patterns and colours to create an eye-catching and alternative look. It is also a great way to bring a bit of your personality to the fore. Another helpful tip, if you are unsure of what route to take, is to use a mixture of neutral and solid coloured cushions alongside a few patterned scatter pillows of your choice. This is a more traditional approach and will also make any chair/bench/swing look like it is straight out of an interior design magazine.
Most garden pieces are built to last but with the British weather often proving unpredictable it may also be a wise move to invest in a tarpaulin cover, or something similar, to help protect your furniture during the harsher months of the year. This will get rid of the need to store your outdoor chairs, benches, tables etc. indoors during autumn and winter.
