Enjoy the great outdoors this summer

Eating outdoors, lingering at the table, relaxing in style, daydreaming, and enjoying the summer in your own backyard… sounds like the perfect summer, doesn’t it? Create a relaxed vacation vibe in your garden with comfortable and stylish outdoor furniture, atmospheric lighting, and, of course, plenty of greenery. That way, you can enjoy the summer even if you’re not going on vacation—or when you return from your vacation.

With the right garden furniture, you can create a great atmosphere in your garden, highlight your garden’s style, and comfortably enjoy your own outdoor space. Especially in a small(er) garden, garden furniture plays a key role in defining its look. So always choose garden furniture and garden accessories that match your garden design and style.

At the table

A beautiful and spacious garden table is a must-have. A garden table or garden set is one of the largest pieces of garden furniture in a small garden. That’s why you should choose a beautiful and stylish table with comfortable chairs that match the style and atmosphere of your garden.

How about the rugged hardwood garden table Iroko, made of sustainable hardwood and black powder-coated steel? This stylish garden table fits into any garden: from classic to modern.

Do you have a larger family, or do you like to invite people over for a meal and drinks? If so, consider a large garden table, such as the 8-person patio set made of Douglas fir. This sturdy garden table is also available with steel legs and comes complete with modern, lightweight garden chairs with a transparent look.

Sit back and relax

Don’t forget the garden chairs, either. Of course, they need to be comfortable, but garden chairs are also ideal for adding color and shape to your garden. In the past, chairs for outdoor tables and garden sets were often very solid, but now you’re seeing more and more garden chairs with a lighter, more airy look. They’re perfect for a smaller garden, since they don’t completely enclose the space.

Relaxing on the lounge bed

After all that eating and drinking, relaxing is, of course, also important for enjoying the summer. A comfortable lounge bed in the garden offers the ultimate in relaxation and a place to unwind for a while.

With a beanbag shaped like a lounge chair or a lounge bed, you can completely unwind and enjoy the outdoors. These beanbags are designed for outdoor use, and you can easily move them to any spot you like. They’re durable and water- and weather-resistant. A bean bag adds a playful yet stylish touch to your garden. Can you already picture yourself lounging with friends or simply daydreaming on a lounge bed?

Relaxing in your hammock

For that ultimate vacation feeling in your own backyard this summer, a hammock is, of course, a must-have. A hammock is perfect for lounging in the sun (or taking a break in the shade) and a great spot to read your favorite book or magazine. Not only is a hammock wonderfully comfortable to lie in, but it also instantly adds ambiance to your garden.

A hammock with stand It's ideal if you don't have a good spot to hang your hammock. An added benefit is that a hammock with a stand is portable. That way, you can always choose to relax in the shade or in the sun.

That vacation feeling right in your own backyard

To enjoy the outdoors and get that vacation feeling right in your own backyard, it’s important to create a cozy and inviting space where you can relax, eat, and drink. Good garden furniture plays a major role in achieving this.

With beautiful lighting, you can create a more inviting atmosphere and enjoy your garden even longer. Install lighting that adds depth and highlights beautiful features and structures, such as a multi-trunked tree, plants in a large pot, or a water feature. Also consider lanterns, wind lights, and solar-powered lighting.

Plenty of greenery creates the feeling of a green oasis. Mediterranean and exotic plants give your garden even more of a (vacation) vibe. Many Mediterranean plants and herbs, such as lavender, thyme, and rosemary, smell wonderful every time you walk by them or touch them. They really love the sun. An olive tree or fig tree is also perfect for a sunny garden.

Is there more shade in your garden? That’s not a problem either: many exotic plants prefer a spot in the shade. For example, a banana tree with its enormous leaves, a palm tree, a spider plant (with large, hand-shaped leaves), and, of course, bamboo. With these, you can quickly create a real jungle garden.
