Although the Royal Garden Party’s been postponed this year, you can still deck yourself and your backyard in suitable style.

Warm temperatures and sunny days get us dreaming of alfresco dining, summer soirees and spending as much time enjoying the sun as possible. We might need to change summer holidays and the way we’re used to enjoy sunshine days but all we know is that better days are coming. We might end up social distancing for some time but chances are we can still enjoy park strolls and quality time outside – even if it’s on our garden.

If you have a garden, or even a balcony, you probably spent most of the past few weeks there enjoying lovely days and the high temperatures. You might have even noticed things you want to improve, things you want to buy to make this space even more comfy and welcoming.

Whether you’re planning to throw your own house garden party just for you and your family, or you’re just looking for some nice bits to update your outside sanctuary, we’ve got you covered.

Scroll down to find a few ideas to level up your decoration game and get ready to spend even more time outside in style.
