Feeling cosy outdoors isn’t something that usually comes easily. We spend time making our house feel like a home, adding throws and comfy sofas to help people feel at ease when they visit. But when it comes to spending the warmer months outdoors, our garden never feels quite as cosy as we’d like.
However, with a few simple accessories, you can help bring your garden to life for the warmer months. And it doesn’t have to be expensive either.
From adding a cosy patio heater to your garden, to using lighting and blankets to create ambience, try out these garden additions for a comfortable evening outdoors.
Comfortable Sofas
When you’re not comfortable, it’s difficult to feel cosy. That’s why a snuggly sofa should be the first item on your garden wish list. The perfect addition to add in front of a heater, you can relax outside no matter how chilly it gets.
A good sofa can be a lot more comfortable than stiff wooden chairs. It is also easy to decorate with blankets and cushions to add to the cosiness.
This is a good option for those who enjoy hosting friends and family, especially if BBQing is your go-to. Keep the good times going outdoors with comfortable seating.
Fairy Lights
Lighting is a great way to create a relaxing atmosphere, and fairy lights are a great choice for any garden. You can purchase battery-powered lights to give you the freedom to place them wherever you see fit.
Solar-powered lights could also be a great option for outside, so then you don’t need to worry about replacing batteries once they run out.

There are a variety of types to choose from, including string fairy lights, curtain fair lights or shaped lights, such as flowers.
