We’re in to the summer holidays now which means nice, long days outdoors in the garden and eating al fresco with a sense of outdoor summer splendour. I like my garden to feel and look like an extension of my home and that means lots of colour and eclectic eye candy so got myself down to Homesense recently.

I’ve found and put together my top 10 favourite unique finds from their homeware store that I hope you like too – they’re perfect for barbecues with friends and family.

These items are by well known top brands, but offering savings of up to 60 % which makes them all the more enticing. Prices start super low.

I found it quite hard to limit myself to just 10 so below are some more things to wet the appetite …

Particularly like this bistro style, patterned table and chair as it would add some character to a smaller urban garden.

Happiness on a plate. An informal dinner party out in the garden – I love evenings like this – reminds me of childhood. Fun and relaxed days.

The drink dispenser is such a good idea. Sit it in the middle of  the table and help yourself. Quite a good idea for kids too  – maybe fill it with a fruit juice punch ?

Absolutely love these chairs. They work indoors and outdoors. They are timeless. HomeSense have a great selection of seating.

Lots of pretty colourful lanterns. They look effective scattered over an outdoor table and give the feeling of being on holiday. Yes please to that !

If you’re looking for an indoor garden, this wood and glass house is perfect for displaying your potted plants, like a mini Kew Gardens. :)

HomeSense stores are part of the TK Maxx Home family and are dotted around the UK. They are constantly updating their stock with new products from around the globe so well worth checking them out. You can find out more on their website here.

Have a nice day …
