The garden is increasingly becoming an extension of the living room. With a nice barbecue and the right garden lamps, you ensure an attractive setting in your garden during the colder evenings. Firepit-online.com is happy to inspire you to involve the garden more in the living room in various ways and to dress it up with the right accessories
Living room style in the outdoor area
To make the garden a part of the home, you can match various features with the living spaces. Look at the colours, materials and furniture used in the living room (or room adjacent to the garden). Reflect these features in the garden decoration. For example, choose the same kind of garden chairs as the chairs at the dining table. You can also match the garden table with the dining room table to make these dining areas match.

Colours
Apart from furniture, colour is also an important factor in styling the house and garden. For example, you can extend the colours of the exterior walls of the (living) room to the colour of the fence. Give the fence a lick of paint in the same colour or colour palette as the walls inside. This way, it will look like the space outside still continues and will create a sense of unity.

MateriaL
A final tip for matching the garden with the spaces inside is to use the same material. For example, if you have a wooden dining table, choose a wooden garden table. Just make sure the garden table is resistant to moisture and sun to enjoy it for a long time. Woods like Acacia, Teak and Oak are strong woods that would be suitable for this.
Choose garden lighting
If you have continued the style of your living room in your garden, it is time to decorate it with garden lighting. Examples of various garden lights include:
- Traditional lighting: fire bowls and fire pits
- Solar garden lighting
- Garden lighting with sensor
- Garden candles and garden torches
Fire bowl or fire pit
To start with the most traditional way of making light: a fire bowl or fire pit. A fire bowl and fire pit have an open character through which the light of the fire spreads completely through the garden. In addition, a fire bowl or fire pit is very nice to sit around and you can use multifunctional as a barbecue with an accessory such as a plancha or tripod.
Garden lightning solar
Do you like it when the lighting turns on automatically when it gets dark? Very understandable! Solar lights outdoor consists of a (small) solar panel that charges the rechargeable battery in the lamp. By charging the battery with solar energy, the solar lamp can switch on. This is especially useful if your garden has a lot of sun and the lamps can charge sufficiently. Even if the sun does not shine visibly, the solar panel captures this light and converts it into electrical energy. In addition to lighting with sensor, solar lighting can also be good.
Garden lighting, arranged from the bank
Just like living room lighting, the outdoor lights can now also be fully controlled via your phone. This garden lighting can be switched on from the inside, shown to the desired color and brightness. In this way you can match the lighting from the inside and outside and make the outdoor space part of your living space inside.
Cooking outside is the trend
Not only among the fans of the barbecue, outdoor cooking is generally an upward trend. More and more holiday homes, campsites and B&Bs offer the opportunity to cook outside. The BonFeu BonVes fire pit is a nice combination of atmosphere and outdoor cooking.
In winter months it is more difficult to use the barbecue, but when it is dry the barbecue can be lit. Grill a piece of meat instead of in the pan over the heat. This gives a nice barbecue flavor and is a good addition to a simple dish. Cooking outside makes the garden part of the evening and after cooking you can still light the fire to sit comfortably around the fire pit.
