15 of the best garden accessories for summer

20 garden mirrors to buy for your outdoor space

If you want to give your garden a refresh this summer, there’s no easier way to do so than by updating your garden accessories. From larger pieces like hammocks and benches to smaller items like outdoor cushions, trying out new accessories for your garden is a quick way to give your outdoor space a whole new look with minimal fuss involved.

For small gardens and patios, garden mirrors are a brilliant way of adding light and depth, instantly making the area look more spacious and adding a feeling of brightness. We also recommend trying out soft furnishings such as outdoor beanbags for a laidback approach to garden furniture, especially if you’re short on space and need seating that can be easily stored away.

If you’re lucky to have a lot of space to work with, you have the potential to make your garden the location for all your summer entertaining. If that’s the case, fuss-free garden accessories such as solar-powered fairy lights are ideal, as are lanterns and fire pits. Don’t forget, plenty of comfy places to relax are essential – freestanding hammocks can be left in place all summer long, as can hanging chairs.

For those of us who are blessed with green fingers, gardening accessories such as trellises and garden caddies will keep your outdoor area in tip-top condition!
