Get outside and enjoy your garden space this summer

Allison Homes outdoor living BBQ gardens
We enjoyed two wonderful Bank Holiday weekends last month. The weather was perfect. And many of us were able to get outside and enjoy some sunshine, which, let’s face it, can be something of a rarity in this country.

Since then another weekend has gone but there’s still plenty of summer left to get out and enjoy outdoor living in your garden.

Make the most of your garden, whether you’re entertaining, dining al fresco or simply kicking back with a good read and a drink!

Create a cooking and dining space with a pergola that’s wired for lighting and heating. There are all sorts of outdoor ovens, chimeneas and firepits on the market. Here are some examples

Outdoor entertaining is perfect if you lack space inside. Create the perfect dedicated area with mood lighting and comfortable furniture. Add a sunken fire pit, BBQ or pizza oven and you’re away.

Create a space that’s not just for eating and entertainment but also a place for relaxation and lounging around with furniture which combines both with a sense of style, flexibility and outstanding design.

Relax and eat supper in the same place. Roomy sofas and chairs are perfect for relaxing with your guests after dinner, to while away the evening and watch the setting sun.

Resin weave furniture is trending now, but don’t forget solid all-weather aluminium sofas and chairs. And of course there is plenty of choice of hardwood furniture as well.

Add some finishing touches with lanterns and other accessories and you’re there! John Lewis has some great options for outdoor dining.
