GLS Adile Outdoor Bench Vanilla

In the first of our short, sweet posts giving you instant tips to improve your garden life, this one’s about how to make a small garden look bigger – and do it simply by choosing a certain type of garden furniture.

First, take a look at these three powder coated metal garden benches, and see if you spot anything.

Did you notice the connection? It’s about the design and materials. All of these metal garden benches are made to an open, airy design that lets the background views show through.

If these garden benches were solid, they’d appear to take up a lot more space. As it is, they allow the views to open up for a more spacious feel. They don’t block any light because they’re so delicate-looking, despite being as tough as old boots, made to last.

What a neat, perfectly natural visual trick.

Buy open-design cast iron wooden or steel garden furniture with this kind of open, airy look and you too can make your small garden feel bigger.

That’s it. Simples. we’ll be back soon with more instant tips for an even better garden life. In the meantime, here are some more choices to inspire you.
