Ways to Make Your Outdoor Space More Inviting

Spending time outside is great for your physical health, hello vitamin D, and your mental health, especially after being cooped up during covid lockdowns. Now that the sun is out and the weather is warming up, it might be time to add some furniture and decor to your outdoor space so that you, your mates, and your loved ones can enjoy some much needed fresh air and craic during the next few months of nice weather. Here is a list of some outdoor furniture and decor must-haves at GetLocal to get you started!

Bistro Sets, Table and Chairs

If you require furniture that can seat more than a couple of people and allow you a place to hold brunch, lunch, or a nice dinner outside, we have plenty of garden table and chairs sets for you to choose from. Maybe a Bali-6 piece set pictured above with a round table might work for your patio. Bistro sets with high backs and comfy weatherproof cushions will be great for you and your guests to sit comfortably in the beautiful weather. This set is designed with the best all-weather rattan, crafted from a high-quality PPE material weave that has varied textures and tones. This means you can match the furniture to your specific eye for design! 

A Garden Bench

If simple is more your style, might we suggest a garden bench for your relaxation needs? It is excellent for a quick rest after working in the garden, but it is also a great place to sit and enjoy the beautiful flowers. Do you like to sit and soak up the morning sun with your coffee? A garden bench might be the place to do just that. Have a patio or balcony instead of a garden? No worries, we have benches in all shapes and sizes to fit your needs.

Picnic Table

Picnic tables are a perfect piece of outdoor furniture for the kiddos to be able to eat and have fun with outdoor arts and crafts. We’re talking the messy kind, that might involve paint or water. Easy cleanup and you don’t have to worry about the mess inside! Win-Win. Plus, picnic tables are perfect for, you guessed it, picnics. They are durable, hold multiple people, and can match pretty much any aesthetic, which is all grand. 

Hammock

Nothing says relax and unwind outdoors quite like a hammock. Afternoon naps? Check. Are you enjoying the sun or shade in the afternoon breeze? Check. Are you sitting with your favourite book for some much-needed me-time? Check check. There are so many different ways to enjoy hammocks, and depending on the size you want, they can pretty much fit anywhere from gardens, to patios, to balconies.

Gazebo

Lacking shade? We know that the sun can get pretty scorching during the summer months, and sometimes trees aren’t always in prime sitting spots. Gazebos are the perfect solution to this problem. They come in all shapes and sizes and allow you to customize your shady space to all of your needs. If you are having a large gathering and are in need of temporary shelter from the sun or a little bit of Irish rain, then temporary gazebos are a great idea as well. Either way, you are covered with our local selection of gazebos. See what we did there?

Sun Lounger

A sun lounger sounds like the perfect way to relax outdoors. Especially if you are trying to catch that sun-kissed skin look after spending the winter months indoors. Have a pool? Even better. Catch some sun on your lounger, hop in the pool to cool down, and then repeat! We can’t think of a better way to spend hot summer days. 

Fairy Garden Decor

Fairy gardens are said to be built to lure fairies into your home and space and make them bring a fair portion of luck with them. To do this, we need to provide a nice place for them to feel at home. Not to mention it looks gorgeous in your garden or any outdoor space you have. It is also a great way to spend time with your children or grandchildren, they will love helping you pick out decor to invite some luck and magic.
