Four easy ways to style your outdoor space
Our outside areas are increasingly mirroring our indoor living spaces. As spring approaches, embrace the opportunity to nurture your garden as a seamless extension of your home – and your personality. Whether you’re looking to fall back in love with your garden or revive the space, Bemz’s Head of Product Filippa Bonde shares some simple tips on how to design your own calmful retreat.
1. Refresh rather than replace
Making small, thoughtful choices can have a big impact on your home and the planet. A fresh set of cushion covers can instantly revive your outdoor furniture in a way that embodies you. And by extending the life of your furniture, you’re also reducing waste. The outdoor fabrics in A Greener Collection are consciously made using sustainable materials and have been expertly designed to stay vibrant under the sun and dry after a summer shower. Whether it’s the elegance of velvet or textured stripes, these durable textiles are ready for a lifetime of lounging.
2. Create an indoor-to-outdoor oasis
Seamlessly transitioning between your inside and outside areas is all about blending comfort with functionality. Design areas that reflect your indoor space. Fashion a cosy lounge space perhaps, with cushioned seating. Trust your exquisite taste to set a tone that feels distinctly you.
If you want to create a natural, zen-like ambience, our new A Greener Collection features calming greens, oceanic tones and soft neutrals that harmonise beautifully with nature’s backdrop. For a bolder statement, experiment with textures like the base of a heavy panama structure combined with soft velvet accents. Love to match? Scatter on stripes in a mixture of fabrics for a maximalistic feel.
3. Be versatile
Work with what you have. A traditional gardenscape can easily become a more contemporary outdoor room. It’s all about finding pieces that complement each other. For example, our versatile bench seat covers are an easy way to add comfort to your seating for an ambient relaxing spot. Or curate a holiday vibe with our sun lounger covers. Choose fabrics and prints that speak to you and refine the space to your taste.
4. Embrace accessories
Minimalistic, rustic, romantic, contemporary – it’s easy to create any mood with the right finishing touches. Cushions are a simple way to bring comfort and style. Our new ruffled cushion covers make a big, joyful statement and bring the luxury of lounging outside. Add curtains or sheer drapes to pergolas and covered patios for a soft, airy transition. And as the nights lengthen, create an inviting warm glow with string lights, lanterns, and LED candles. Why not bring everything together with the textured finishes of an outdoor rug?
Don’t be afraid to bring nature even closer. Perfectly positioned potted plants and hanging planters can effortlessly blur the line between indoors and outdoors. You could even incorporate climbing vines or lush greenery to naturally frame your outdoor space.
