It’s never too late to make the most of your garden, especially when this summer is shaping up to be perfect BBQ weather.
Here are some of my favourite pieces to create your perfect outdoor space

Al fresco dining with a bistro set
I always feel like I'm on holiday when I sit in my garden at my little sage green bistro set with a drink and a book... or a glass of wine in the evenings after my husband and I have finished work.
Bistro sets do not take up a lot of space and so are perfect for even the smallest of outdoor spaces.
A modern take on the classic bistro set.
Picking a colourful bistro set can add a bit more interest in a small space, such as this sage green metal set, which also comes in an array of brighter colours too if you're feeling brave!
The classic foldable bistro set offers a practical yet stylish option.
Relax in a hammock
Hammocks are making a comeback!
I personally haven't had a hammock in my garden since I was a teenager and unfortunately I don't think that I will be able to fit one into my current garden given how awkward my garden is with it's steep slopes... but if you have a flat garden (I'm jealous) then you might be able to work one into the space, with or without a separate frame support.
Make a statement with an Egg Chair
I love a statement piece in the garden. It instantly elevates a garden from normal and basic to elevated. Just make sure not to overwhelm your garden with anything too big or out of place. Try and select one that complements the other furniture that you’ve got in your garden. It should be an addition to a lovely garden with a seating area for barbecues and alfresco dining. A square plot with nothing but an egg chair might look a bit incomplete and sparse.
Eco-friendly ways to light your path
Not only is it difficult to set up electricity in a garden but it is definitely much more practical to make the most of solar power. Whether that’s by introducing decorative hanging festoon lights or by lighting a footpath with stake lights, there are lots of ways to introduce eco-friendly, easy, and stylish lights to create a perfect ambience for the summer evenings.
Stylish loungers
This is the part that I still need to sort out in my own garden. As my garden is so awkward with lots of different levels for my very steep sloped garden, I have had to create lots of different areas and I am still not finished. One area is to add some loungers that I don’t have to always fold up and put away and get out again every time I want to use them.
Just like with a nice dining set or seating area, sun lounge areas can create a great destination in your garden that looks inviting.
