1 A LICK OF PAINT
If your garden furniture is in need of a refresh, take inspiration from the colours of your garden plants to give it an elegant and harmonious update. You could even give a plain garden bench an ombré effect by painting each slat a different shade. Try plum purples to soft green tones for a look that will work all year round.
* Bench painted (from top to bottom) using Cuprinol Garden Shades in Pale Jasmine, Pale Thistle, Fresh Lilac and Raspberry Sorbet, all £16 for 1ltr, B&Q
2 TWILIGHT ZONE
Create a chill-out area that you can enjoy after dark. Solar-powered lights will light up the night and outdoor rugs will keep things comfy underfoot, while blankets, throws and a firepit will keep you warm.
