When it comes to the summer, there’s no doubt that the majority are spending most of our time out in the garden. Those who aren’t are wishing that they had the garden which would be able to offer us the same amount of luxury that we apparently experience on the inside.
It’s true that we don’t tend to have televisions, sofas, fridges and everything else in our living space, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t find the luxury in different things.
We just need to expand our minds a bit and get ready to experience some absolutely divine things over the coming months.
Lighting
Most people don’t see lighting as being a luxury that they can add to their garden – until they’re sat in the dark later on into a warm night!
Being able to see your way around is one of the most important things that you can get sorted out if you are planning on spending your evenings outside.
Not only does it offer a point of safety, but being able to see what’s around you is also quite important.
You don’t have to go for floodlights – although these are a great deterrent for burglars – but can keep it relatively quirky and low-key with some simple fairy lights strung around the garden.
This means that you will be able to set out the layout of your garden to your guests, and can even use them to lead towards important things like the toilet or the gate out.
There are so many different varieties, so you don’t have to go for the traditional ones that you would usually put around your Christmas tree; another thing to look out for is any shrubs or trees that you could place them in.
They make for a great twinkling effect and look brilliant when they’re all lit up. Being compatible with outdoor weather is just another reason that they’re a fantastic investment.
Seating
There are a lot of different furniture options out there on the market for you to choose from for your garden, but making sure that you are getting the right one for your needs and budget is imperative.
The higher quality you invest in, the more that it will cost you – but it is also important to remember that it will last a lot longer, too. You don’t just have to think about wood, metal or plastic when it comes to outdoor seating.
If you have space to store them when the weather gets unpleasant, you can buy bean bags which are specifically made to go outdoors. These versatile creations can double up as mini beds for you to snooze on in the summer sun (just ensure you are fully protected from the rays before you do so). It’s good to remember that there are a lot of cushions and seat covers to choose from to really give a personal edge to what you are creating in your gardens.

Accessories
You don’t have to spend a lot on the things to go in your garden for it to be a haven for you to relax in. There a possibly things that you have thought were a lot more expensive than they actually are – hot tubs are a good example.
There are a good number of affordable priced hot tubs to go in your garden on Portable Tubs HQ, and there are deals for these all over the internet; they’re not as highly priced as you would think. Getting a portable hot tub means that you will be able to move it around your garden as and when you want to, rather than having to clear a space permanently for one to be fitted in.

It’s not as big as a swimming pool, but it definitely offers a bit more luxury as you can get into it at any time of the day or night and be guaranteed the same temperature, which is brilliant for hosting parties and get together where you want to retire to the hot tub and have a chat. Another garden accessory that has really seen a recent influx in sales is the classic chiminea. This gives you the option to stay warm and comfortable outside, as well as providing a central point for you and all of your guests to gather around as the night draws in. They are relatively inexpensive to buy depending on the model that you invest in, and can really help to add a touch of class to your garden. You need to make sure that you are being safe with them and follow the instructions provided when you buy it so as not to hurt yourself or others around you.

Plants
The plants you choose (or choose to avoid) can say a lot about how much time you dedicate to your garden. However, there are certain ones that won’t let slip that you haven’t bothered with them in a couple of months and will continue to bloom without much help. Making your garden look luxurious is partly down to how much time you dedicate to getting it up to scratch.
There are so many different flowers and shrubs that you can combine together to give you the effect that you want. A great example of a sleek and elegant flower that will bloom without much help is a lily – and they come in such a number of varieties that you’d be hard pressed to put on a boring display with them.
Don’t forget the pots that they come in, too – you can really set a theme around your garden space if you pick the correct planters for them.
Keeping it cheap is easy if you utilize materials that you may already have lying around; wood can easily be turned into a new bedding space for small plants, and you can create it in any shape you wish.
Patios & Decking
Another way to really spice up the layout of your garden and give it a certain touch of je ne sais quoi is to add in decking or a patio.
It helps to structure the space and helps to create specific areas that possibly weren’t quite set out before.
You don’t have to use slabs or wood for it, as this can really rack up the cost; simply setting down some small stones can help you to define the area, and it’s easily done without the need to hire a professional to do it for you.
In smaller gardens, this can actually help to give the illusion of more space; if you are taking up the area with layers, there is often more that can be done building up than there is building across. It’s just making the most of what you’ve got.
Relaxation
If you have a good space between trees, or a clearing that you don’t know what to do with, consider getting a hammock for true luxury relaxation.
If you can’t hang it, there are bars for you to buy to be able to have it so it can stand alone. It offers such a great talking point for when guests visit your garden, and also an escape point for you for when all of the activities that have to be carried out whilst doing gardening have come to a head, or simply just retire there to read a book or have a run through your social media.
If hammocks aren’t something that appeal to you, creating a specific space for relaxation is great for both adults and children alike. Creating a willow den is something that is fun to get involved with and won’t cost you the earth – but will look amazing once completed and offer an amazing place to relax in.
Ornamentation
There is a lot that you can add to your garden in terms of ornamentation which will help spruce up the overall look of it. There are certain decorations that you can make yourself, with Pinterest acting as the central hub for this.
These include wind chimes, upcycled mirrors to use to give the impression of more space and even fairy dens if you have children whose imaginations would be captured by them.
With so many themes to choose from, it’s so easy to mix and match with what you want to have and twist it round to suit your style. If you are more minimalistic in your approach, this is fine too; there are so many gardens appearing online currently which look to be the height of luxury with seemingly very little done to them.
However, look closer and you will see that everything is pruned well and has been placed intrinsically around the space that has been provided.
Those who are working with a minimalistic garden often have the same amount of garden furniture as any normal person, just either with a bigger area to use or they take advantage of the height of items like plant pots and place them as centerpieces.
It’s very effective and helps to give you the luxury that you desire.
