Set up a lounge area in the garden

Less than a month and spring will start! That means that we will all go outside again en masse if the weather permits. Especially if you are blessed with a garden, you can enjoy the outdoors early in the year. An increasingly important trend is moving the living room outside. So why not do it in style? Here we give you ideas to create your own lounge area in the garden.

Define your style
The most important thing to keep in mind when planning your new lounge area is your personal style. Do you like classic design or modern design? When designing your new lounge area, you should take the overall layout and style of your home and garden into account.

Relax on a lounge set
To get the best out of your garden – and to completely de-stress – placing comfortable lounge furniture is essential. A lounge set is perfect for sunbathing, reading books, entertaining friends, and much more. Lounge sets are available in various models and made of different materials. Go for stylish furniture that matches your garden. A modern garden requires minimalist design furniture, while a romantic garden looks best with an elegant, rustic seating area. Do you want to enjoy your lounge area regardless of the time of day? Then a parasol or shade cloth and heating elements are indispensable.

Bring out your accessories
When you decorate your garden with special garden accessories, it immediately looks a lot cozier. Add atmosphere to the lounge area by placing wind lights or lanterns. Place a special outdoor rug on the floor near your lounge set. Brighten up your lounge area with beautiful plants and place them in wicker baskets or in modern pots. Cushions make your lounge set even more comfortable. Just make sure that these accessories are weatherproof.

Heat with a fire pit
When the warm day gets a bit colder in the evening, a fire pit is an excellent way to improve both the warmth and the atmosphere. Even if it is actually too cold to stay outside and enjoy a drink and a snack, a fire pit is the solution. And the fire also creates a wonderful atmosphere.
