Create a cosy outdoor space this summer with Hemming & Wills

Written by: Tim C

Now that the weather is starting to get hotter and brighter, it is finally time to venture outside and make the most of your outdoor spaces again. The days of being wrapped in a blanket on your sofa may be well and truly over but that doesn't mean you can’t create snug spaces outside. Although you may associate summers spent outdoors with cheap plastic chairs or rigid wooden furniture, there are plenty of ways to make the outside just as homely as your home and enjoy the sun this season. 

In this blog, we break down our favourite pieces of outdoor furniture that will not only level up your outside space but will ensure you can still get comfy and cosy on a sunny afternoon to make the most of the weather. 

Leira Rattan Sunlounger

Swap lounging in your living room with laying back on a lounger and living it up in the summer sun. Our Leira Rattan Sunlounger is not just any piece of garden furniture and it certainly isn’t just your average sunlounger. Forget the cheap white plastic and rickety parts of uncomfortable mass-produced sun loungers and recline in luxury. The Leira features a strong powder-coated aluminium frame meaning it’s built to last. Also, its dark rattan weave body brings all the style and premium feel of a luxury spa or resort. Plus, the thick shower proof cushions coupled with its adjustable backrest will make this the most comfortable part of your garden. 

Double Rattan Nest Chair

If you need any persuading about the comfort that our Rattan Nest Chair can bring to your outside space, well… just look at it! The cocoon-shaped design makes this nest chair an intimate place to escape to, sheltering you from your surroundings and focusing your energy inwards. On top of that, the thickly padded sofa style cushions that line the chair will ensure you are comfortable no matter what position you are sitting in. All that cosiness and we haven’t even touched on the fact that the stylish rattan pattern will stand out in any nook or corner of your garden. Also, the steel frame and showerproof materials mean it is sure to keep you looking stylish and feeling snug for many more summer seasons to come.  

Aruba Outdoor Lounge Corner Sofa Set

Bring the comfort of your sofa outdoors this summer with our Aruba Corner Lounge set. With enough space to fit the whole family around, it's perfect for those sunny days of socialising. This modern statement piece will enable you to carve out a space in your garden that is dedicated to relaxing and enjoying the weather. The corner design is great for keeping group conversations flowing and its soft cushions will make the occasion a comfortable one. The modern finish frame in natural acacia wood will give your garden a contemporary update while also complementing the natural textures and colours of the outside. With its matching coffee table, it will really feel like you have brought your living room outside. 

Honolulu Medium Fire Pit

Whether it's a fireplace, a bonfire or a fire pit, gathering around a fire elevates any social experience. Our Honolulu Medium Fire Pit will add that cosy feeling to summer evenings and leave you not wanting to venture back inside for hours. The way that the Honolulu cleverly combines a fire burner with a coffee table means that you can experience that cosy fireplace feeling and have plenty of space for drinks without having to purchase two separate products. A hidden compartment in the table leaves space to conceal a gas cylinder and a panel to cover the burner means you can have a fully functional coffee table whenever you like. The range comes in multiple colourways and is supplied with lava rocks and ceramic logs that create a realistic, cosy fire feeling. With an easy to use electric ignition, the Honolulu Medium Fire Pit is perfect for keeping the evening alive long after the sun has set.

Natal Wood Outdoor Lounge Chair

Put your feet up and relax in comfort with our Natal Wood Lounge Chair set. The natural colours of the acacia wood frame coupled with the natural wash cane seat will bring an authentic and fresh feel to your outdoor space. The reclined design of the chair and the accompanying footstool mean you can lean back, put your feet up and enjoy the afternoon sun outside in comfort. The set also comes with soft grey cushions for the seat and stool so you can be sure of a snug and cosy time enjoying a coffee or reading a book. Classy, contemporary and cosy the Natal chair and footstool are the perfect addition for your decking or patio, they are also weatherproof and easy to maintain - what’s not to love!
