If the weather is good, we’re going to be living it up in the garden
As the popular saying about Ireland goes, ‘It’d be a great little country if only you could roof it’.
But, while we all know the weather in our beautiful country can be temperamental, we also know that when the sun shines and the temperatures rise, there is nowhere we’d rather be.
It’s not always possible to get away for a sun holiday when we want so why not capture the feeling of being on holidays in your own home?
Whether you’ve got a garden the size of a field or a small patch of concrete out the back that will only fit the egg chair you’ve been dreaming about, here are some furniture options to create your very own summer haven.
