It’s here! Well, almost. The summer means different things for everyone. You might have holidays coming up, your kids may be finishing school for a couple of months or you might just be looking forward to spending more time outside and staying warm without the heating – that’ll certainly help with heating bills!

At Casa Bella, we’re also excited for summer as it’s a great time to spend with friends and family and we want to help you do that. Whether you are looking for furniture or just some ideas and advice, you’ll find it here over the next few months and as always, if there’s something specific you want us to focus on, let us know.

Caring for the garden

Spending time in the garden is one of the first things you’ll do as the weather gets better. It’s a safe option, you can test out the temperatures and unpredictable British weather patterns without being stranded in the middle of nowhere. The problem is, if your garden is a mess and overgrown, you won’t enjoy as much.

We know that gardening in the winter isn’t much fun if you can’t feel your fingers and your breath freezes but keeping on top of it where you can will help. Come spring, you can spend more time out there tidying up and making sure your garden furniture is ready. While we love our wood furniture, we understand that some people prefer all weather products, such as the Sorrento Light Synthetic Rattan Set. This will survive any winter and weather conditions so when the sun returns, you’re all ready to go.

What should you look for?

That being said, you just can’t be the natural tones and strength of wooden furniture and teak is one of the best options for your garden. With only a small amount of care you’ll have top quality garden furniture for years to come and that’s exactly what you need in Britain!

Tables and chairs are the foundations of all garden activities. Sure, you might want to lie on the grass when it’s warm and dry enough but as the evenings draw in this can be a bit cold and uncomfortable – especially if you want to eat outside! Get a good table and chair set to make sure you make big savings and enjoy great comfort. We have sets for any number, starting with our Avon 2-Seater Teak Bistro Set right up to the Devon 8-Seater Extending Teak Armchairs Set as well as all in between. No matter how big your garden, family or group of friends, you won’t go wrong with these sets.

The great outdoors

As great as your garden is, though, there’s much more to see and explore! Go out to the countryside, climb to new heights and see things you never knew existed! There are plenty of places to try and a quick search will lead you to them. If you’re not ready for a trek, take your friends and family out there, find a lake or view, break out some folding chairs (with cushions for good measure) and enjoy the sun and country air while you can – it might be heavy rain tomorrow.
