3. Outdoor Rugs

Outdoor rugs are a luxe addition to gardens and it seems a lot of people want in on the trend this year. They visually integrate the outdoor entertaining areas like your patio or decking, with the indoor ones. It can really brighten up a space with personality and soften hard surfaces like decking.

5. Outdoor Pizza Ovens

The pandemic has made us all quite the chefs with all the time on our hands and now we're ready to embrace this new found skill with some home-made, stone-baked pizzas this summer.

6. Faux Plants

Though it may seem like this is a cheat code, faux plants can really set off your gardens, all year round. Fake plants are built to last, so you won't need to replace them often. You won't need to worry about watering them or the bugs and insects getting into them, meaning they have the ability to look perfect all year round which makes your gardening skills look even better. And guess what...nobody needs to know they're fake!

7. Garden Bars

While we have been without pubs and bars for what feels like a lifetime, many of us have taken matters into our own hands are started creating their own! Aside from offering cheaper food and drinks and later closing times, it also gives a convenient option for those days when pub gardens are fully booked or if you fancy hosting a garden party, you know you have the drinks sorted!
