Rugs
Outdoor rugs can offer a unique and cosey look to the garden and they’re very popular. It might seem baffling to have a rug outdoors, but there are plenty of outdoor materials, like jute, to keep them from getting ruined by the weather.
Outdoor rugs can also offer extra seating space for when you’re hosting parties.
Potted plants
If you’re looking to add more greenery to your outdoors space, raised vegetable beds and hanging baskets can be a great idea, although time consuming.
