Consider the right flooring
When designing an outdoor entertaining space, adding the right flooring will help to create specific zones in the garden. From an area for a table and chairs to a simple bistro corner surrounded by plants, add texture and interest with outdoor paving. With more homeowners looking to create a seamless flow between the indoors and outdoors, why not add natural stone-effect tiles to transform and elevate your garden.

Let there be light
From outdoor wall lighting and string lights to the soft glow of an outdoor firepit, just as you would illuminate your home with layered lighting, it's just as important when designing your garden. Once the garden has been zoned, it will be easier to decide how much lighting you need in each area. Around a table for example, pair task lighting such as wall lights with soft lighting like lanterns. For a cost seating area, not only do fire pits provide enough heat to keep you warm, but the crackling flames create an eye-catching display of light.
