Garden Entertaining Ideas
Having people over this summer? Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or having friends over for the summer of sport creating the right space to entertain is key. Looking for the perfect garden dining set, rattan garden furniture or a relaxing garden sofa, we’ve got you covered at Laura James.
Divine Dining
A large and spacious garden is perfect for entertaining, find the best spot for a garden table for all those family lunches and get togethers. Investing in a large classic rectangular table will see you through the seasons. Ideal for afternoon tea with friends to summer lunches and barbeques. Our Lennox dining set is a classic design made from solid acacia wood and offers plenty of space for guests with 8 matching armchairs chairs. If you prefer more intimate dining, then a round table is the perfect choice. The Kemble round dining set comes with 6 chairs and matching cushions for comfort.
Outdoor cinema
Create your own outdoor cinema in the garden, with an outdoor screen or projector to watch all your favourite TV shows, sports or classic movies, perfect fun evenings with friends. Create cosy lounge worthy seating by opting for a corner sofa like the Maia and don’t forget to add cushions, and throws plus outdoor lights for an inviting feel. The Maia comes with an outdoor coffee table, the perfect place for those viewing snacks.
Smaller Seating Zones
If you enjoy having garden parties and relaxed barbeques it could be an idea to have a few smaller seating spaces for guests rather than one garden entertainment area so that everyone can enjoy mingling. Opt for a contemporary bistro set for the garden like the Indra or a conversation set like the Eaden which includes stylish comfy seating and a coffee table. We also have a range of classic wooden garden chairs like the Ashby and Oakley because extra seating is always handy. Style your seating zones, with candles on tables and cushions for a thoughtful touch.
Outdoor Bar
If you love to host parties, then why not create your own outside bar? Offer up your favourite tipples with beers, bubbly or cocktails if you feel adventurous. Put on a spread of nibbles for your guests to enjoy, and they will never want to leave. If you have an outdoor kitchen or bar then our chic Hali bar stools will complete the look beautifully.
Of course, we all know how unpredictable the British summertime can be, so there is always the need for a plan B. Be sure to have your home guest ready in case your garden party needs to take cover inside!
