It's the height of summer and therefore the time to enjoy your garden the most. I have a typical country cottage garden, high maintenance, lots of roses and climbers that require constant pruning and training.

Top tips to achieve this look:
- Keep to a clean and classic style, with stylish and simple furniture
- Up-lighting is an absolute must
- Choose a simple colour scheme to avoid that 'fussy' look, think simply green and white
- Use an outdoor fire for a focal point. Chimneys or firepits look equally as chic at a fraction of the price
- Use lots of green!
Lighting is so important and I just love candlelgiht on a summers evening. Our fabulous lanterns look so chic. They are £35 each - buy here.
