Garden Accessories

Garden accessories finish an outdoor space beyond the furniture itself, with parasols, outdoor cushions, plant pots, lanterns and tableware that turn a patio from functional to considered. Our collection runs from wood and canvas parasols through terracotta and zinc plant pots, rechargeable garden lanterns, and outdoor-rated textiles designed for British weather.

    The core outdoor dining setup needs a parasol for shade (or an awning), outdoor cushions rated for weather, a tray for carrying food and drinks across uneven paving, and lighting for evenings. A portable speaker and a windbreak round out the occasional extras. The specific accessories needed depend more on how the garden is used than on the size of the space.

    Quality outdoor cushions use UV-stable acrylic covers and quick-dry foam, handling occasional rain and full sun exposure without damage. Seasonal storage under cover is still recommended for winter months, when continuous damp causes even quick-dry foam to eventually break down. Look for cushions clearly marked 'outdoor-rated' rather than general-purpose fabric.

    Match the parasol size to the table it's shading: a 150cm parasol covers a 90cm square table, a 200cm parasol suits a 150cm round table, and a 300cm cantilever parasol can shade a full six-seater dining set. Cantilever designs (with the pole to one side rather than through the table centre) offer more flexibility in positioning.

    Store cushions in a waterproof storage box or bring them indoors from October through March. Terracotta pots benefit from being raised off wet paving on pot feet, which prevents frost damage. Fabric-covered umbrellas should be dried fully before folding for storage. Zinc and powder-coated accessories cope outdoors year-round without issue.

      Our Top Vitra Accessories
      From modern toolboxes to toy elephants, there’s much to be found in the Vitra accessories collection. As a truly iconic hub of modern design, Vitra crafts iconic designs by leading designers such as Charles and Ray Eames. In this article we’ll discuss some of our much-loved Vitra accessories and explore their histories. Above all, each piece in this edit is in stock and ready to be delivered direct to your home. Modern storage Arik Levy designed this modern interpretation of a toolbox for Vitra in 2010. Available in a kaleidoscope of colours, it’s worthy of being on display rather than hidden away in the garden shed. Keep tools or cleaning supplies in it or get creative and use it to store stationary or kitchen gadgets. Plus, thanks to its compact size it can be easily stowed in cabinets or on shelves. Vitra accessories for the kids The iconic Eames Elephant almost didn’t make it to our homes. It was an early creation that stemmed from Charles and Ray Eames’ experiments with plywood. In fact, an original prototype designed for a 14-year-old Lucia Eames remains in the possession of the Eames family today. Unfortunately, due to its tight curves and shape, it was too technically challenging to enter serial production. It wasn’t until 2007 that Vitra was able to bring it to life using modern technology. The smaller, plastic edition is perfect for children to play with. Or you can choose to display it as an iconic decorative accessory. Right on time Over seventy years ago, George Nelson designed a clock collection that remains remarkably current today. His designs stemmed from an analysis of how people read clocks and the conclusion that numbers are unnecessary. As such, each piece in the collection shares one common feature – the absence of numbers. The collection is incredibly varied, with wall clocks, built-in clocks and portable table clocks taking centre stage in the Vitra accessories collection. Their bold shapes and unique approach to colour offer a refreshing alternative to more traditional clocks. Storage statements Husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames designed the Hang It All Coat Hook to encourage children to tidy up. The colourful balls that make the design so distinctive offer a playful alternative to traditional hooks. In 2012, Vitra released three new colourways to coincide with what would have been Ray Eames’ 100th birthday. Vitra collaborated with the Eames Office to select the red, green and white colour palettes. Vitra accessories with a design twist Created by design duo Raw-Edges, these Herringbone Cushions are a newer addition to the Vitra accessories collection. The cushions were originally designed for the VitraHaus in Weil am Rhein. When the Vitra team saw how much everyone loved them, they decided to add them to their collection. A technique called immersion dying inspired the cushion's motif. This involves dipping fabric into a dye bath at various intervals to create a striking ombré effect.

      Copper Décor Ideas And Home Accessories
      Warm and lustrous, coppery tones are the perfect accent to minimal spaces or an opulent addition to classically styled rooms. Providing a modern alternative to traditional chandeliers, groups of copper pendants continue to prove popular as lighting centrepieces. Plus, copper’s metallic finish also lends a fresh perspective to home accessories like mirrors, clocks and lamps. Read on and let our shiny new copper inspiration bring some interior inspiration to your home. Copper accessories If you don’t want to make any major design changes to your home, copper accessories are a great way to get on board with the trend. Not only are accessories made from copper more cost-effective than wallpapering or retiling, but they’re also incredibly versatile. The versatility of copper accessories means you can move them around the room or into different parts of the house to update your space. Some of the best ways to introduces copper to your home is through accessories like mirrors, lamps and vases. You could also consider copper cutlery, handles or sofa feet for small flourishes. Statement-making lighting If you want to make a statement in your room, then copper lighting can be a great way to do it. Beautifully reflective and elegant, copper ceiling lights or lamps are a timeless addition to your space. You can find copper lighting in plenty of styles, so there’s definitely something to suit your tastes. If you’re a mid-century enthusiast, then there are loads of classic copper lights designed by celebrated masters. If you prefer something more modern, then we have plenty to choose from by contemporary designers. We love how the bold copper pendant lights in this dining space stay true to the room’s minimalist aesthetic. Their organic shapes and brushed copper finish mean they enhance the room’s décor, without stealing the show. Plus, they’re perfect for casting a cosy glow and creating a warm ambience. Small accents of copper If you want to lend a touch of copper into your home without going overboard, some small flourishes could be the way to go. There are plenty of reasons why you may just want a small touch of copper in your home. Perhaps you want to match your drawer handles in with the rest of your room, or maybe you’d like to tie your exposed piping in further. For just small copper home accessories, we suggest planters, lamp stems and table legs made using the metal. Copper’s eco friendly Did you know that copper is one of the best materials you can use for architecture projects and interiors? That’s because it’s endlessly recyclable and incredibly durable, making it a clever choice for sustainable building. That’s why you see copper cladding more and more modern buildings. Copper in the kitchen Copper saucepans are a timeless addition to your kitchen. They are a classic design that’s equally at home in modern kitchens. Saucepans made using copper are often serious investments thanks to their unrivalled quality. There’s a reason our ancestors have cooked using copper for the last 11,000 years. Copper heats up quickly and evenly, then slows down fast when removed from the heat. That makes it perfect for cooking fish, sauces and desserts. To really make your copper accessories stand out, we suggest keeping your kitchen’s design neutral. With minimalist surfaces and cabinets, your copper saucepans will be the star of the show. Plus, they’re stylish enough to display on open shelves or hooks, rather than hiding away in a cupboard. Copper on the walls If you like to make a statement with bold interior design, copper is a great choice when it comes to walls. It reflects light beautifully, adding a luxurious and versatile flourish to your space. You could go all out, painting your entire room in a light copper hue. Or you could choose a wallpaper with hints of copper running throughout. Whatever you decide, adding copper to your walls will lend a touch more glamour to your home. We love this example because it’s perfect for building out a complete design scheme. With plenty of different tones running throughout it, you could easily accessorise with shades of blue and copper. If your design scheme is a little brighter, opt for copper wallpaper with lighter shades of cream, white and grey in it. Want to create your own copper statement?

      How To Style A Garden Bar
      While home garden bars may have become popular during the pandemic when traditional pubs, bars and restaurants were shut to the public, they have shown no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Searches for garden bars are still soaring as people look for inspiring new ways to inform theirs, whether tiki-style arrangements with tropical cocktails or pub-esque set-ups with craft beer. But why are homeowners still looking for dedicated spaces to serve up professional-style drinks in their back gardens when the world of hospitality is open again? There are a couple of reasons. Increasingly, outdoor spaces have become an extension of our homes – often referred to as ‘the fifth room’ – so we’re investing more time and money than ever into making them places we want to spend time. Not only that, but with the rising costs of going out, entertaining at home with friends and family is a more economical alternative. And all without stepping foot outside of the front door. To celebrate the end of summer, we show you how to style a garden bar with a raft of ideas, proving that staying in really is the new going out. Pick a position First thing’s first: the position of your garden bar. Consider a spot that’s both practical and sociable: perhaps it’s somewhere close to the kitchen for quickly and easily topping-up supplies in the shade of the house; or maybe it’s as far as possible from the house to avoid keeping the kids up if parties are likely to carry on until late. Some form of shelter is crucial, too, weatherproofing your home garden bar from unpredictable British summers. You may want to consider a covered pergola or similar. In short, find somewhere that suits your functional needs, while offering a scenic outlook. Choose a theme Next: what style of home garden bar would you like? Choose a theme that reflects your outdoor space and interior décor. Contemporary or classic? Smart or casual? Minimalist or maximalist? British or Mediterranean? This will inform the concept. Secondly: what kind of establishments do you enjoy visiting when you go out? Gastro pub VS wine bar? Cocktail den VS Champagne lounge? This will direct the décor. And lastly: what type of experience are you looking to recreate? Chilled-out and conversational or conducive to parties? This will inspire the ambience. Failing all that, you could throw caution to the wind and create a high-concept home garden bar, inspired by something fun and irreverent: think Studio 54 or South Pacific to get you started. It’s time to think outside of the box and give yourself licence to be playful. If you’re going high-concept, there’s just one rule of thumb: carry it through into everything, from the décor to the drinks, to really make it sing. Select the ‘bar’ part of the bar Our garden bar ideas don’t stop there. With your location and concept sorted, it’s time to source the bar itself, whether it’s an existing surface you style up, a mobile drinks trolley you wheel out, or something you build from scratch. Even a table in a forgotten corner or against the fence can become a dedicated home garden bar with a little imagination and know-how. Free-standing or built-in, the choice is yours, just ensure it’s a focal point of your entertaining space. Editor’s picks Turn the lightweight Eos outdoor café table into a temporary serving station by styling up its square surface and getting everyone to gather around. Take your tipples into the garden using the Flip trolley by Kartell laden with bottles, glasses and accoutrement – simply tell guests to help themselves. The EOS picnic house by Case is perfect for displaying and serving drinks with built-in seating and roof. A ready-made bar, no effort required. Sort your seating You’ll need somewhere for you and your guests to sit outside, whether stools, chairs or sofas. No space and after small garden bar ideas? Don’t worry: even a couple of outdoor cushions provide somewhere casual and convivial to curl up with a cocktail or two under the stars. Editor’s picks Pull up a pew with an elegant Eos outdoor bar stool or two. Be swept off your feet with a series of stackable EOS outdoor side chairs for easy storage when not in use. The Tanso outdoor sofa or Kodo outdoor lounge sofa both provide a comfortable seat for al fresco socials. Decide on décor Take the indoors out with décor that blurs the boundaries between home and garden. Think colourful, patterned and textured cushions, throws and outdoor rugs. Stylish and eclectic objets d’art. Even mirrors or artworks framed and hung on outside walls or fences. Remember: not everything needs to be designed for outdoors. You can always bring décor in after the day is done. Editor’s picks Roll out an outdoor carpet for guests with the Garden Layers rug by GAN and provide added comfort, texture and interest. Lean the Lucka outdoor mirror by Deknudt against an outdoor wall to reflect the space and catch the light. Add soft furnishings with the Cabana stripe cushion and Pop wool throw to cosy up your home garden bar. Switch up lighting. The right outdoor light can create just the right ambience for your home garden bar, whether it’s flickering candles to set the mood or string lighting to frame the space. Editor’s picks Create a beautiful backdrop for your garden bar by winding a set of Tobias LED outdoor string lights around a tree or draping them over a fence. Add the polish of a professional bar with an Orion portable LED outdoor table lamp. Cluster groups of Aston LED outdoor portable solar jar lights by Sirius together around the garden.
