You can brighten up your outdoor world in an instant with five easy additions… take a look at my suggestions below.

Living wall trellis
Update your outdoor living area with the simplest of additions! This living wall trellis is designed for outdoor use, and comes with luscious faux fern foliage to bring some extra interest to your patio, terrace, balcony and more.
It can be used to cover up bare walls, to create a divider between spaces, or create shelter and cosiness in a seating area. You can even opt for a version with lights for a magical twilight sparkle!
Lamp posts
Every garden can benefit from a little bit of light, whether that’s to illuminate pathways for safety, increase security or to highlight areas of interest.
These lamp post are perfect for adding practical lighting while looking very classy. Standing at 1.3m metres tall, they’re great for general illumination, plus the new design allows even more light distribution.
Best of all, they’re eco-friendly! Being solar-powered, there are no fiddly or hazardous wires to install – and they turn on automatically when you need them to.
A water feature
You can’t beat having water in the garden or conservatory, and this elegant Buddha feature is sure to make a wonderful addition. Casting a magical glow with its LED light, it’s so nice to watch and listen as the water calmly flows out. This will create a serene atmosphere!
Bird feeders
Could it be time to update your bird feeders? These mini feeders come in three colours – blue, pink and purple – and are perfect for adding colour to your garden while feeding your local wildlife.
Simply add your chosen bird feed (these can hold seeds, fat balls, mealworms, and more), and watch your feathered friends flock to their next meal.
