Cosy Garden Furniture Ideas with Lifestyle Garden Furniture

As the days get cooler, there’s no reason your garden can’t still be your go-to spot for relaxing.  With a few simple additions you can turn your garden into a snug haven you’ll never want to leave. Add in some cosy furniture from the Shackletons Lifestyle Garden Furniture range, and you’re all set for everything from morning coffee to evening catch-ups with friends. Let’s look at how you can make your garden the cosiest place to be, whatever the season!

Add Comfort with Blankets and Cushions

Nothing says cosy quite like soft, comfortable seating. Layer your garden furniture with blankets and cushions to make it inviting and warm, especially when the temperature dips. Choose waterproof or quick-dry cushions in warm tones and mix in a few blankets in different textures and colours. These additions make seating areas look good while offering a snug spot to relax.

Set the Mood with Outdoor Lighting

Fairy lights, lanterns, or LED candles can work wonders in adding charm and warmth to your garden. String fairy lights across fences, weave them through trees, or drape them around seating areas to create a soft, warm glow that’s perfect for evening gatherings. Lanterns can also be placed on tables or near seating areas to bring ambient light, while LED candles add a safe, flickering glow.

Choose Cosy Garden Furniture Pieces

A few of the right furniture pieces can make a real impact on your garden’s atmosphere. The Lifestyle Garden Furniture range has options that are perfect for creating a warm, welcoming setup.

Aruba Casual Corner Dining Bench

The Aruba Casual Corner Dining Bench offers a comfortable, relaxed space for dining and lounging. With its cushioned seating and spacious design, this bench set provides a great spot for gathering with family or friends over a warm drink or a cosy meal. Arrange blankets or throws over the seats, and add outdoor cushions for extra comfort, turning it into a snug nook for chilly evenings.

Aruba Reclining Companion Set

For those who love lounging outdoors, the Aruba Reclining Companion Set is a fantastic choice. With adjustable reclining options, it’s great for unwinding with a hot drink and a good book, or simply enjoying the fresh air. Add a few cushions for comfort and a small side table to hold a mug of cocoa or tea, and you have a perfect cosy spot for two.

Bermuda Hi-Lo Lounge Set in Natural

The Bermuda Hi-Lo Lounge Set in Natural combines versatility and comfort, making it an excellent addition for any garden. Its adjustable height allows it to switch easily between a coffee table setup and a dining table height, so it’s perfect whether you’re hosting a casual lunch or a late-night chat. Pile the seats with cushions, and use throws or blankets to make the space even more inviting for cooler days.

Use Rugs to Add Warmth and Style

Outdoor rugs are an often under-utilised way to add warmth and style to your garden seating area. Choose a weather-resistant rug to place under your furniture, defining the space and adding a layer of insulation against cold ground. A rug in warm colours or natural tones can make the whole setup feel more like a cosy outdoor room, perfect for lounging all year round.

Create a Warm Corner with a Fire Pit or Heater

A fire pit or outdoor heater adds both warmth and charm to your garden, making it possible to enjoy it on chilly evenings. Position a fire pit near your seating area to create a focal point that encourages people to gather around. If a fire pit isn’t practical, a small electric or gas heater can provide just the right amount of warmth to keep your cosy garden setup comfortable through autumn and winter.

 

Creating a cosy garden is all about combining comfort, warmth, and style. With the Lifestyle Garden Furniture range, you have plenty of options to set up a welcoming garden. Whether you’re curling up on the Aruba Reclining Companion Set with a blanket or enjoying a meal with friends on the Aruba Casual Corner Dining Bench, these pieces make it easy to enjoy your garden whatever the season.
