OUTDOOR FURNITURE PICKS TO MAKE YOUR GARDEN STANDOUT

While the trend for 2022 is to bring the inside to shake hands with the outdoors, you don’t have to be a slave to the idea. Trends are not dictatorial. Instead, just like recipes, the themes can be adapted and altered to fit your own preferences. Rather than following every suggestion, you can use the fundamentals of a trend to introduce your own personality and make a statement. Not only does this help to personalise your outdoor space, but it also helps to make it stand out. If you’re struggling for ideas as to how to set your garden apart from the crowd, read on to see our suggestions. 

Extending your environment

When it comes to creating balance in your home, and continuing a theme, the focus is on the relationship between the indoors and the Great Outdoors. During the brief pauses between lockdown, the focus fell on bringing the outdoors inside. Now that things are tentatively returning to normal, bringing the indoors outside has fallen under the spotlight. To strike the perfect equilibrium, it can be worth checking out items made from natural materials, helping to seamlessly blend the flow from interior to exterior. Our range of garden furniture includes items made from stone, which are as happy inside, as they are outside. From decorative globes to stone planters, and tables, this material is an outstanding way to ensure your outside space is seen as an extension of your home, as opposed to a separate are.

Adding a splash of colour

While the fusion of indoors and outdoors is very much on-trend, there are plenty of opportunities to make your garden stand out. Pre-pandemic, the onus was on natural materials, to create an ecological feel to our environments. Now that we have access to Mother Nature, there’s no harm in defining certain areas as separate from their surroundings. These zones allow you to enjoy the beauty around you, while feeling as though you are still living in your home. To this end, check out bolder, brighter colours that, while they complement the natural world, are defiantly apart from it. The CB2 collection of outdoor furniture holds contemporary tables and chairs, sofas, and sectionals, made by established and up-and-coming designers. Whether you favour the distinctly modern or lean towards the rustic, there’s plenty to help you create that ‘outdoor refuge’ feeling.

Ambient lighting

Should you decide to make your garden space something that plays with the idea of trend, rather than follows it to the detail, lighting can play an important role. Once the sun starts to slip over the horizon, there’s no doubting that any light is going to be artificial. While the theme might favour the natural, defining the difference between the two allows you to indulge your creativity. Browse the CB2 collection and you’ll find plenty of options that allow you to make a memorable statement, just as daylight starts to fail. From ambient hurricane lamps to bright and atmospheric pendant lights, you’re sure to be able to find the product that makes your garden stand out from the rest.
