Ways to Blend Indoor & Outdoor Décor

We are all aware of the benefits the outdoors and being in nature has on our well-being. With the weather finally improving we have the chance to get outside and enjoy our gardens. With biophilic design being an ongoing trend, bringing some elements of indoors outside can work seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy creature comforts whilst connecting with nature.  

Create a Garden Dining & Living Space 

Like the interior of your home, outdoor living spaces need practical garden furniture and various accessories to bring the look together. If you have a spacious garden you may want to create a dining area, opt for a stylish dining set like the Hali & Amelia dining set featuring pink rope chairs and chic Amelia wooden garden table. Ensure access to your kitchen is close not only for practicality but to create a seamless bend of indoor and outdoor style. Alternatively, consider having your own outdoor kitchen, to prepare food and drinks outside surrounded by nature.

Add a seating area with a garden conversation set or a garden sofa set with plenty of cushions for comfort. Add an outdoor garden rug like the Hemsby to create a living zone and add a touch of colour.

The ability to move items of furniture around your home is a fantastic way to revamp a room or corner when you fancy a change. This can work for the garden too. Our stylish concrete side tables are designed for use both indoors and outdoors. The striking designs are the perfect addition to a garden living space, as an outdoor side table or small garden coffee table. Opt for black for a chic and contemporary with the Zaliki round table. The Carlotta terrazzo side table comes in paprika and pearl terrazzo for a refreshing look, the flecks of mother-of-pearl will catch the sunlight beautifully.

Lighting outdoors for the evening is essential if you want to enjoy sitting in the garden on those summer evenings. Hanging solar lights and fairy lights can be dotted around the garden as well as using rechargeable lamps like the Brockhill are ideal for popping on side tables. Introduce metal lanterns and candles for added light and a relaxing ambience. Consider a dining table with a built-in firepit like the Aston table, which not only brings light but warmth too.

Never underestimate the power of accessories, again they can easily be moved around the home. Accessories like vases or pots and plants on shelving add a homely feel whilst a garden mirror hung on a wall or propped up safely can help to create that interior blend. Style your garden sofa with a throw blanket to bring texture, colour and pattern to your outside space. The same with cushion covers, make use of garden cushions but feel free to add indoor cushions too to spruce up tired looking garden chairs.
