As the days grow longer and the air begins to warm, there's nothing better than spending time in the garden.
Whether it's enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning sun or unwinding with a glass of wine as the evening settles in, your outdoor space becomes an extension of your home during spring and summer.
This season, garden décor isn't just about plants and patio furniture, it’s also about comfort and ambience. One of the simplest yet most effective ways to elevate your outdoor space is by incorporating soft textiles. Throws and blankets aren’t just for indoors, when styled thoughtfully, they add layers of texture, colour, and warmth to any garden setup.
