Think about lighting

Cosiness isn’t just for wintertime, you can create a cosy atmosphere outdoors in summer too. A big part of this is your choice of lighting. This Lights4Fun garden lighting will make your space feel warm and inviting – festoon lights, LED candles and garden spot lighting are just a few of our favourites.
Alternative seating

Be creative with your choice of seating to mix things up. Invest in a hanging chair like this Hampstead egg design from Cox & Cox. Can you imagine anything more cosy than curling up in this with a book and a glass of your favourite tipple?
Style it up with accessories

An important part of creating an inviting space is styling it up with accessories to make your seating area feel homely. Take inspiration from the above set-up from Lights4Fun and opt for an outdoor rug, lots of cushions and throws and oversized lanterns to create a relaxed, bohemian feel.
Decorate with plants

When it comes to decorating with plants, don’t forget about your garden seating area. You may have nailed your garden border, but make sure to style up your seating space with lots of lovely greenery to make it feel at one with the rest of your outdoor space.
