The skies are the limit when it comes to the inspiring options and accessories for sprucing up your garden and creating a cheerful atmosphere this summer.

Let’s look at a few of the must-have accessories this summer.

Get creative with planters and pots

Showcase your favourite plants with these contemporary concrete planters, an Out & Out Original exclusive. Scatter a mix of small, medium and large planters around your garden and fill them with tropical greenery. The classic grey will compliment whichever shade of flower you choose to put in there.

Palms and ferns are great for creating an architectural visual interest on any patio or decking area.

Three is the magic number with this 90cm High Cement Fibre Planter with Three Sections. Think botanical, you can go as fantastical and whimsical as you like with contrasting plants to display.

Lift the look and mood of your garden with these colourful accessories

Brighten up your outdoor styling with designer furniture in sorbet shades, such as optimistic orange. Orange is associated with abundance, success, stimulation and rejuvenation, a good colour for a garden. The set of two Orange Vintage Mesh Garden Chairs is made from aluminium, maintenance free and strong enough to withstand British weather. They would look amazing with our teak tables and some colourful cushions.

Going green: Also available in lime green, we love the Green Vintage Mesh Gardens Chairs and how they add a splash of luminous colour, offering a juxtaposition to the different shades of green in a garden. You also can’t beat a classic luxurious rattan armchair in the form of the Maya High Back Rattan Chair to bring a touch of elegance to your garden design.

Add a parasol for a pop of colour

Our sleek pergolas and Seville Round Cantilever Parasols are available in classy greys, soft taupes and greens, as well as bold red and a rich navy blue, and measure a generous 3-4 metres wide when opened, depending on the model. So choose your hue and be amazed by what an umbrella can do. Not only for offering shade, consider a parasol an accessory to look pretty against your flower arrangements and outdoor soft furnishing scheme.

You can’t go wrong with a classic forest green parasol, such as the Bali Green Wooden Parasol, available as part of the Bali Green Wooden Parasol, 25kg Parasol Base and ModenaHeater Bundle Set.

It’s all about balance and mood. Gardens and relaxing in one are good for you, they can reduce stress levels, and flowers can uplift your spirits and mental sense of well-being. To get it just right, it makes sense to invest in good-quality garden furniture when designing your outdoor space.
