There is nothing more precious in 21st-century life than the haven of your own garden. Whether it's a blossoming meadow, chic patio or child-friendly wonderland, it turns a house to a home like nothing else. It's also your chance to get creative. From rambling roses to immaculate lawns, organic orchards to nautical decking, it's yours to shape. With that in mind, here are some handpicked garden features – from the classic to the adventurous – to help sow those creative seeds.

Lightly Does It

If there's one thing that'll turn your garden into a midsummer night's dream, it's lights. Twinkly, magical lights. From table-side candles and elegant lamps to these delicate fairy light features, any green space can be instantly transformed with some well-placed illumination. Make a bold, architectural statement by lighting up existing features, wind dainty lights around a leafy arbour or hang lanterns to mark an enticing pathway through the foliage.

Swing Your Cares Away

It's the little things that make all the difference. Imagine sliding into this beautiful hammock after a long day at the office, watching the clouds drift by as the sun slowly sets… It's a piece that will transform even the simplest garden into a calm, relaxing space. And with an elegant wooden base offset by rich red fabric and stylish pillow, this design would be the envy of friends and neighbours alike. It's even big enough for two, if you're feeling romantic…

Child's Play

Remember the golden days of garden play as a child? Those long summer weeks exploring, building, climbing, learning… A garden is an empire to the little people in your life. And, as we know, every emperor needs a castle. The term 'castle' can be interpreted rather broadly of course, but the concept is simple. Give your kids a magical hideaway of their own, and everyone's happy. From treehouse to shed, there are endless possibilities for imaginative young minds. But opt for something more sophisticated, like this modern white design with playful cut-away shapes, and you'll enjoy it too.

Eternal Flame

When the nights start drawing in, it can be tempting to retreat to the house after sundown. But with the help of an elegant chimenea and its steady warm glow, there's really no need. In fact, get it right and the chimenea will become the focal point of your garden all year round. Evoke the magic of endless Mediterranean nights with this rustic stone design, perfect for any occasion with family or friends. After all, there's something truly hypnotic and profoundly comforting about watching flames dance in the company of your nearest and dearest.

Indoor Oasis

Not everyone has the luxury of a garden. But even without an outdoor space of your own, there are ways of bringing some greenery into your life. Cacti and succulents, with their infinite variety and timeless class, are the perfect way to create a little indoor oasis. With so many shapes, sizes and colours to choose from, it's a chance to really showcase your aesthetic flair. Mix and match the prickly wonders until you have the perfect desert dreamland.
