Making the Most of Your Outdoor Space in Autumn

Autumn is the perfect time to revamp your garden and enjoy the last of the summer sunshine before the winter arrives! Here are our favourite garden looks that help you make the most of your spaces all year round…

Cosy spaces

Cosy outdoor chairs and sofas are perfect for transitioning your outdoor spaces from summer to autumn. Warm blankets and cosy cushions all contribute towards creating an intimate social space that works all year round (just remember to take them in when it rains!)

Warm tones

Warm tones create feelings of joy and playfulness, as the colours remind us of heat and sunshine, making them a great choice for social areas. Our Ledgestone Copper Split Face Tiles are inspired by autumnal hues, with a staggered, textured look that’s great for injecting character and charm into your garden space.

Lights and shelter

Lighting is another huge factor that will help you utilise your outdoor spaces as the evenings draw in. Fires, heat lamps and fairy lights can all transform your garden into an ambient and inviting social space. We love how Mel from @my_grey_place has decked out her pergola with exposed lightbulbs and round paper lanterns, atop our gorgeous Materia Blanco Porcelain Paving Slabs.

Getting toasty

Speaking of light, there are also many heating options for the garden which can help to create a warm and welcoming space. Luckily there are lots of heating options out there; from traditional gas heaters and chimineas to glamorous firepits like this one pictured below with our Clifton Bone 60×60 20mm Porcelain Paving Slabs.

Stylish and weatherproof

Investing in a durable patio space is a smart move to make at this time of year. Porcelain paving slabs are one of the best options for outdoor areas as they provide a hardwearing, long-lasting base that is frost proof and slip-resistant.
