Here are a few outdoor styling tips to inspire you to create a zen garden, as seen styled by our very own customers.

Go for luxurious Ottomans

A nice soft ottoman to put your feet up in your garden is a sure way to create an inviting outdoor space. Great for both big and little paws to relax on, the Kingston Lounge Set, comes with two footstools, two soft grey rattan armchairs and a tempered glass coffee table.

We love how @themerrivale has teamed the Kingston Lounge Set with a pretty pergola, and hung faux foliage with white roses, creating a relaxing soothing little outdoor space for themselves and their furry friends to hang out together in the garden.

We love a good pergola or parasol!

Create a Zen relaxation zone with sun loungers, such as these gorgeous sleek graphite Havana Sun Loungers, with adjustable settings, as seen styled by @newbuildagain in their beautiful garden.

Keeping it simple as they have done, with a classic, modern style, will help create a calming relaxing outdoor space design.

The two small wheels on the back mean you can manoeuvre it to best suit your sunbathing angles. And you can be assured of a very Zen lounging experience, with a textiline fabric seat, and excellent quality, durable and weather resistant, lightweight aluminium frame. Comfort and maintenance-free furniture in one!

Sit and unwind in the shade under the very stylish Seville Round Cantilever Parasol, made using polyester with a PA coating to ensure a high quality, durable finish, resistant to sunlight so it won’t fade. Meanwhile, you recline under it protected from the sun.

Specs include 8 steel ribs and a 4.8 x 4.2cm aluminium pole, as well as a crank lift opening system and manual tilt function, to align your parasol to the perfect height and angle, to accommodate the sun's movement.

At just under 3 meters in diameter when open, it’s a generous size for a balcony or garden patio dining set or lounge set. Available in so many wonderful colours, to suit your garden colour scheme, Dark Grey, Taupe, Red, Light Grey or Navy Blue.

Add elegant, monochrome chic black and white stripe cushions to match the Marbella Lounge Set, as @theparkerstyle has done, creating a harmonious colour scheme of black, white and grey. A layer of sparkly outdoor lighting as a table centerpiece, along with candles and soft textures of cream chunky knit throws, looks so cosy.

Maximum tranquillity

Add planters for additional botanical and greenery, such as this Concrete Planter with Two Sections. Less prone to cracking than ceramic, concrete not only looks good but is also a good insulator to protect the delicate roots of flowers and plants.

Outdoor Rugs

Add outdoor rugs, like the_house_on_inveraray have, to complement their chic grey Santorini Lounge Set. We love their soft grey colour scheme, and how the grey outdoor geometric rug, pretty pink and green cushions, and white vase as a centerpiece, ties the entire look together.

At Out and Out, our Reversible Outdoor Rugs are just what you are looking for, if you want to add a sophisticated layer of style to your patio, deck, or garden, available in Beige Diamond or Grey Chevron. The Reversible Outdoor Rug in Beige Diamond has a reversible beige diamond design and is made from durable plastic, which allows protection against water, which not only keeps the rug intact but also helps add that outdoor living room feeling.

@house.of.fox has created a soft summery colour palette, with oranges, pinks and yellows, and matching outdoor rug and cushions. It works beautifully against our super comfortable Copenhagen Lounge Set.

So inviting for summer lounging!
