Tips To Enjoy Your Garden Space Even When It’s Cold

Despite the cold weather, we Brits still manage to brave the cold come what may. While that may be the cost in most situations, when it comes to our own gardens, we often neglect them during these winter months. However, it’s a great opportunity to take advantage of the outdoor space, especially when you’re entertaining guests or wanting to enjoy a clear night’s sky of stargazing.

If you’re looking at your garden with distaste, then there definitely needs to be some much-needed changes. Here are some top tips to enjoy your garden space, even when it’s cold.

Add in glass verandas or awnings

If you’re wanting to incorporate a bit of shelter during those times where British weather shows its typical colours, then glass verandas or awnings are a great addition. They provide that permanent or temporary coverage depending on which you choose.

Some outdoor spaces may suit permanent structures like a glass veranda, especially if there’s plenty of space available. For those with more limited room, an awning that you can roll in or out, is definitely handy to have.

Create a space to work

If you love spending time in your garden and can’t get enough of it, then you may want to look into getting a garden office pod so that you can work in your perfect little outdoor space. It will provide you shelter even when the UK weather kicks in.

It’s also perfect for those times where you need to work, but you also want to get out of the house for some peace and quiet.

Incorporate a luxury fire pit

A fire pit is a great addition to the space, especially during those cold months of the year. If you’re entertaining guests or simply want to spend some time relaxing outside, then a firepit is a must-have.

While they were more expensive when they first became popular, there are plenty of affordable options that are worth investing in. If you have the space and ideally have it on fire-proof flooring, then it’s worth buying one to help keep everyone warm as it gets cooler outside.

Make sure there’s enough seated space

Seated space is important because a lack of seating is going to force some of your guests or household members to go inside. Make sure that you’ve got enough space to lounge and dine where possible.

Think about investing in some quality furniture that’s weather-proof, even when it starts hailing or chucking it down with rain. You may want to think about keeping the space sheltered if the furniture isn’t completely waterproof. 

Use the right type of lighting

Lighting is a must-have in your garden space and it’s necessary to be mindful of what type of lighting you choose. Anything too bright and harsh isn’t going to fit that relaxed ambience you might be trying to make.

With that in mind, think about the type of lighting that you want to incorporate into the space. Solar-powered lighting is a good choice.

Get plenty of throws on the go for comfort

To help those who really feel the cold, make sure you’ve invested in a few throw blankets that you can bring out with you to wrap up warm on the lounge furniture. Of course, it’s best to keep these throws indoors, unless you’ve got something outdoors that’s completely sealed off from the elements.

Enjoying your garden space is an opportunity everyone should have, even when it gets cold. Use these tips to make your garden a wonderful haven of relaxation all year round.
