We are nearly halfway through July, but there is still time to spruce up that summer garden!

As extensions of our homes, our outdoor spaces are becoming 'rooms', and so there's a need to bring that cosy feeling into the garden. Being waterproof and durable, a garden rug will help to zone your space, which is ideal if you want to separate dining from lounging, for example. To accessorise, add some garden lanterns and outdoor cushions.

Remember, the bigger the rug, the more money you'll need to spend, but do ensure you measure up and choose the right size for your space and furniture.
