Creating the Perfect Garden for a Staycation

*This is a collaborative post on creating the perfect garden for a staycation

The summer holidays are upon us. Bbut with the COVID-19 pandemic still ongoing, our dreams of going abroad are not looking promising. A great way to relax, unwind and enjoy the British sun is to plan a staycation. That means, taking the same amount of time off – a week or two weeks – and enjoying your very own back garden. For those of you wanting to make the most of a staycation this year, we’re going to look at some of the best things you can buy to create a garden that’s just as relaxing as the Italian coast… 

Add a beautiful garden room or veranda

Let’s be honest, if you plan a staycation in the UK there’s never a guarantee that the weather will be glorious the whole time. In fact, we’re often hit with unexpected showers and bad weather. However, if you invest in a glass garden room or veranda, you can create a covered space that will provide shade when it’s sunny and shelter when it’s rainy! 

Once you have a garden room or veranda installed, you’ll never look back. By expanding your usable living space, you can create additional space. This could to work, eat, and entertain guests all year round. If you don’t have a garden structure already, we highly recommend you consider getting one installed this summer.

Choose modern, stylish paving for your perfect garden

Tending to a lawn that needs cutting every few weeks doesn’t make for a very relaxing holiday does it? If you choose low-maintenance porcelain paving for your garden renovation, you can create a sleek, modern space that looks like something out of a holiday brochure! Choosing paving instead of lawn or decking as the main garden feature is a great way to elevate your garden design. Bringing it from something bog-standard to something with a bit of glitz and glamour. We’re sure you’ll enjoy your staycation if you have a gorgeous patio to relax on.

Treat yourself to a garden bar

Popping in and out of the house to get drinks can be quite annoying. Especially if you’re sat at the bottom of the garden! A great way to level up your summer staycation is to invest in a garden bar. Here you can store all of your favourite drinks, cocktails, and snacks for easy access. We’re sure that guests will love this feature when they visit for a barbeque too.

Get comfy sun loungers for your perfect garden

There are a lot of garden chairs on the market that aren’t very comfortable. A lot of them are made of wicker or plastic because they need to be able to withstand the challenges of British weather. Unfortunately, hard-wearing chairs aren’t always the most comfortable to sit on. So investing in comfy sun loungers for your staycation is a great idea. They’ll look gorgeous on your new porcelain paving patio. And they’ll make you feel like you’re sitting poolside at a holiday resort abroad.

Buy a Bluetooth speaker

If you want to make the most of a sunny day with a few guests (or even on your own) a Bluetooth speaker can come in really handy. All you need to do is charge it up, then you can bring it outdoors and use it in any area of the garden. Simply connect your phone to it and you’ve got a whole library of your favourite music at your fingertips.

Hopefully, these ideas will help you make the most of your staycation this year. Who knows, if you make your garden a relaxing sanctuary, you might decide to holiday in the UK more often!
