Well-chosen garden accessories can make your outdoor space a place to enjoy year-round. These days, your garden decor and style choices say as much about you as your interior space. We have long been a nation of keen gardeners, but now your garden ornaments need to be as well chosen as the items that adorn your home.
Tooled up
The practical things have to be done, but they can still be stylish. If you choose a colour or design theme for your garden, why not include your tools and implements? This Recycled Extra Large Gorilla is a handy, multipurpose item that comes in a bright and cheerful yellow!
Large and small gardens alike need to be well watered in the drier seasons. A long garden hose is a good long term buy as you still get use from it if you move to a bigger plot of land. A good garden hose will last for many years so it’s worth picking one that will cater to your needs if you upsize your outdoor space. Our 30m Green Blade hose is a popular choice.
On the fence
We are known as a leading ironmongery specialist in Northern Ireland, and this applies to the garden as well as the home. Refreshing the hardware on your fences and gates is a great and affordable way to add a new lease of life to your outdoor space.
We love the sleek black of the Perry No.1932 Black Medium Auto Gate Catches and the heart-shaped fixings on the Carlisle Brass Black Antique Ludlow Thumb Latch Set are irresistibly charming!
A lick of paint
Good quality wooden tables and seats are a wise investment as they can be sanded and repainted or stained as your tastes change over the years.
It’s wise to protect wooden handled garden tools from the elements with a coat of paint, wax, or a good wood stain or varnish. It also gives you the opportunity to create a pop of colour to your garden by repainting these garden accessories in a cheery hue. This Blue Round Back Yard Brush is vibrant enough as it is, but painting the plain wooden handle would give it even more zing!
If you have a metal watering can, why not give it a new lease of life too with a coat of paint to brighten the garden?
Practically perfect
Those little practical finishing touches can be the most satisfying to tick off your list! Make sure your wheelie bins are never mistaken by the neighbours with our affordable wheelie bin numbers. It also never hurts to have a spare wheel for your wheelie bin handy to save the expense of having to replace this rather expensive garden accessory.
Keep your garden looking neat and tidy by replacing any old, broken, or shabby looking bins, buckets and containers. They may not be the most glamorous garden ornaments, but replacing garden containers, coat scuttles, grit bunkers and cigarette buckets can really give a garden space a much-needed lift. The Platinum Tanks Black Coal Bunker is available in 2 different sizes to suit all sizes of outdoor space.
