Do you love the outdoors but sometimes the autumn weather doesn't allow it? Make your garden an extension of the living room, for both hot summer days and cozy winter evenings. Why stay indoors when you can enjoy outdoors? Learn how to transform your garden into a winter paradise with patio heating and atmospheric lighting.
5 tips for an attractive and comfortable garden all autumn:
- Create a (covered) lounge area.
- Provide sufficient heating in the garden.
- A fire bowl or garden fireplace as an attractive addition in the garden.
- Gas lanterns and bioethanol table fireplaces: attractive garden lighting.
- Maintain the lounge area for year-round comfort.
Create a (covered) lounge corner
Now that autumn has started, rainy days will occur more often. Therefore, make sure that the garden bench and garden chairs have a covered area. This way you can sit outside, even on rainy days. Think of a (wooden) roof, a waterproof shadow fabric or a waterproof umbrella. Not only does a covered terrace make the garden an extra seat outside in the autumn, it also brings immediate atmosphere.
Storage place for garden cushions
Not only the benches and chairs deserve a dry place, the garden cushions must also be stored dry in order to always be able to create sufficient comfort. Make or buy a storage place made of, for example, plastic to repel rainwater and dust. If there is no room for an extra storage box, choose waterproof storage covers or garden tarp and store the cushions.
Provide sufficient heating in the garden
A patio heater is a must to get through the cooler autumn and winter days. Direct heating by means of infrared patio heating or a heated veranda with a gas heater, the choice of patio heaters is spacious.
The most direct heating: infrared patio heating
Infrared patio heating is the most direct heating. This technique uses electromagnetic radiation that directly heats the objects and people in the room. This is an efficient and more sustainable way of heating for an open terrace, for example.
Traditional electric patio heating
Electric patio heating such as halogen lamps with long wave heating, heat the environment and space. This is an effective way to heat in a partly dense veranda where the wind has less influence on the ambient heat.
Gas patio heater: attractive and comfortable
Gas heaters are well suited for roofs and porches. A gas patio heater heats the air in the room and thus gives off a long-lasting heat. Due to the high power of a gas heater, it is important to use these types of patio heaters only in open and well-ventilated areas. In addition to the high power, the flexibility of a gas heater with gas bottle is a major advantage of these patio heaters.
A fire bowl or garden fireplace as an attractive addition to the garden
In addition to the direct heating of a patio heater, atmosphere is an important factor for a pleasant autumn outside. A fire bowl or garden fireplace will provide extra warmth and atmosphere in the garden with a wood fire. This way you can turn a heated roof into a cozy setting to also spend the autumn evenings.
Gas lanterns and bioethanol table fireplaces: attractive garden lighting
To complement the dark days outside with garden lighting in an attractive way, gas lanterns from Cosi and bio-ethanol table fireplaces are a playful addition to the garden table. By simply refilling the bioethanol or placing a gas cartridge, the lanterns can be used within a minute.
Unlike solar outdoor lighting or garden lamps on LED, these garden lanterns are fun to look at and provide soft mood light that spreads through the garden.
Maintain the lounge area for year-round comfort
The lounge area is also the center of the garden in autumn and it is therefore important to keep it tidy. Therefore, ensure a clean environment by regularly sweeping and cleaning up everything after use. By doing this regularly you can enjoy the garden and the lounge area time and time again.
Note with wooden garden furniture: apply a protective treatment with oil or lacquer to maintain quality during cold and humid days.
