Game, Set, Match: Get Your Garden Wimbledon Ready

Wimbledon is one of those quintessentially British sports that we love to celebrate in the UK. Whether you follow tennis or simply show up for the Pimm’s there are a few ways you can have your own Wimbledon soiree in your garden. Here are a few ways to get your garden ready for Wimbledon this summer. 

The Perfect Serve   

Create an inviting outdoor dining space with an elegant and contemporary dining set like our Amelia wooden dining table and chairs. This generous dining set offers plenty of space for entertaining garden guests and the Hali outdoor rope chairs offer a sophisticated look.

No Wimbledon inspired garden is complete without seasonal strawberries and cream of course. Create a pretty tablescape for afternoon tea including glasses of bubbly, strawberries, and cream. Perhaps serve up a summer charcuterie board with a jug of Pimm’s.

Use fancy glassware, a rustic serving board and include hints of red, white and green. Think red and white striped napkins or a clean white tablecloth, green foliage, or white flowers as a centrepiece. Bring in natural colours and textures with things like rattan place mats or coasters.

Watch Wimbledon on the big screen in the garden, with an outdoor screen or projector. Create a cosy lounge worthy space with a garden corner sofa like the Maia complete with parasol and garden coffee table, ideal for those viewing snacks. Alternatively, choose a wooden sofa set like the Harrelson. Elevate the garden sofa with a few extra cushions, and a throw like the Odisha outdoor throw in green, the perfect match for Wimbledon viewing.

Elevate your garden seating and dining areas with a few garden accessories for a stylish look. If you have lots of friends coming over for a gathering, then a few extra chairs and a side table are a practical choice. The Wren set of 2 plastic garden chairs are ideal for additional seats as they are lightweight and easy move. Plus, they come in a range of colours including, orange, blue, pink, and green.

For an evening atmosphere consider garden lighting such as festoon lights strung around fencing, fairy lights on a tree or a rechargeable table lamp to enhance light and mood. Our handy rechargeable lights can last up to 12 hours on a low light setting, once fully charged.

Tenniscore is a trend in both fashion and interiors embracing preppy and quiet luxury with a colour palette inspired by centre court. You can incorporate Tenniscore in the interior of your home by using a colour palette of fresh whites and neutrals, vibrant greens, regal purple tones and hints of red.
