At the latest when temperatures rise at the end of March, the desire for your own garden really grows again. The beds have long been planted, the roughest traces of winter removed, but there is still no sign of coziness. It is time to get the right Garden furniture and conjure up your own oasis of well-being. It helps to consider your own needs and also to remember that the nights in summer are particularly beautiful.
The right garden furniture for large and small gardens
The heart of the garden is the seating area, because here you can relax alone or with your friends and simply put your feet up. Your personal taste is decisive when choosing. Whether a relaxed lounge or a garden furniture set for a coffee chat together, there is the right solution for every type of garden.
Always pay attention to the right material, because only then can you still enjoy your furniture next year. Aluminum, high-quality plastics, but also wooden furniture are particularly popular. And don't forget: It only gets really cozy with the right cushions! Then a chill-out evening with the whole Family is comfortably possible and even a nap in the garden becomes a small personal luxury.
Sun protection indispensable in extreme heat
The garden should not only be cozy, but also safe, so sun protection is indispensable. If you are very lucky and can place the seating furniture directly under a large tree, it may be dispensable. But a decorative awning on the terrace or an elegant parasol are not only practical, but also pretty.
Also think about a mobile parasol that you can set up where you are currently working or where the children are playing. Sunburn is very dangerous and it occurs very quickly, especially with smaller children.
Paddling pools, sandboxes and play corners in the garden should therefore always be well protected. Ideally, you should buy protective umbrellas that match the upholstery of your garden furniture, because then you get a harmonious overall picture.
For balmy summer evenings – finding the right lighting
In summer, the evenings in the garden are the most beautiful. Finally, the sweltering heat of the day has subsided, a balmy wind whistles through the trees and you can relax and put your feet up. To perfect the ambiance, it is worth planning the lighting precisely. Thanks to solar technology, you don't even need a power connection for this. A solar lamp can charge itself with sunlight during the day and provides you with direct or indirect light in the evening hours.
It becomes especially romantic if you decorate trees or the canopy of your garden shed with lanterns. This way, the barbecue evening with friends can last until after midnight, there is always enough light. By the way, spherical lights have proven themselves for indirect light, which you can also place in your beds. Along the path, they provide enough lighting so that you can safely find your way out of the garden at night.
Urban outdoor feeling with a fire pit
Water and fire are two of the most beautiful elements in the garden. You can create a pond yourself with a little skill, but a fire pit can also be set up in no time at all. It is important that you pay attention to fireproof bowls and that the surroundings do not consist directly of flammable plants, furniture and trees.
In a safe place, however, the fire pit provides plenty of urban feeling and expands the possibilities of garden use. Grilling stick bread, roasting marshmallows with the children, there is a lot of fun to be had here, especially in the evening hours.
Small tip: There are mobile fire pits on the market that are equipped with sufficient protective elements. A fire barrel is also conceivable as an alternative; here the fire can burn out in peace and there is no danger of sparks being transferred to the surroundings.
