How to Update Your Garden

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

If you want your garden to stay looking great, it’s always going to be necessary to update it every now and again. And not just adding a few new plants here and there – updating your garden furniture sets and accessories could be all you need, to breathe a new lease of life into your outdoor space.

One of the first things you should do is update your table and chairs. It’s out with the old and in with the new, and if you’ve been used to plastic patio furniture then why not consider upgrading to wood? Wooden garden furniture will give your whole garden a completely new look, and create a much better impression. Not only does it look great but it’s also incredibly durable and hardwearing as well.

But, if you really want to give your garden a makeover, it doesn’t stop there. Consider the other accessories as well, such as loungers, wooden planters, hammocks, cushions, coffee tables and even reclining garden chairs, for the ultimate way to relax. Any one of these can be the perfect way to update your garden, and if you choose wisely you’ll be able to coordinate your pieces to create a stunning overall look.

Here at Chic Teak, we’ve got just what you need to keep your garden looking great all year round. If it needs a bit of a pick me up, then make sure to check out our stunning range of wooden garden furniture sets and accessories, and look forward to some admiring glances from the neighbours.

Teak Garden Furniture For A Modern Style Garden

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Many people know the quality and beauty of teak as a garden furniture material. It is brimming with natural beauty and can become part of any home or garden environment easily. There is often a misconception that teak garden furniture is a little outmoded, or perhaps more suitable for a really traditional environment, but this perspective could not be further from the truth.

The most amazing thing about teak as a material for making garden furniture sets is its ability to adapt to its surroundings. Granted, teak is a natural and strong wood which fits in well within a traditional atmosphere, but it also looks clean and ‘knows’ just how to blend into an environment without being too obvious.

At Chic Teak we offer a vast range of teak garden furniture for our customers to choose from. All our garden furniture is hand-carved, creating a multitude of designs. Some are more complex and intricate than others, so you are free to choose the level of detail depending on the finished result you desire.

With teak being quite a strong wood it can also lend itself well to bolder and brighter colours, which are often a common feature in a modern garden environment. Simple teak garden furniture sets can be dressed up or down with runners, cushions and foliage as and when necessary.

A modern garden often requires a little bit of boasting and a show off element, so choosing indulgent garden furniture items such as teak loungers can add star quality to a garden to complete the modern look. Ultimately, the best garden furniture transcends the dichotomy of the traditional and the modern.

Creating A Private Garden

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

We all love to enjoy our garden, however it can sometimes be difficult when we are living within close proximity to other houses. If your garden is overlooked then you may feel a little self-conscious going out into your garden. Even if you have friendly neighbours who you get on well with, sometimes you just want to relax outside and get some peace and quiet.

Obviously you can put a fence up, however at the same time you do not want to offend your neighbours or restrict your outdoor views by encasing your garden in wood. The trick is to have a selective area which is private and can be used to relax in when you require.

Try to choose an area of your garden which is either close to your house or possibly in a corner slightly away from your garden boundaries. Design this space so that it is specifically aimed at being a relaxation area.

Try to keep the area simple, but fill it with essential items. Having some key garden furniture items such as garden furniture sets will set the scene. Try to choose natural materials like teak which will enhance the relaxing environment. At Chic Teak our superb range of teak garden furniture is perfect for chilling out on and we have many garden furniture varieties to fit a multitude of spaces.

Creating some shading in the area will also make you feel more secluded than you perhaps are. This can be done with garden parasols or gazebos; this is a very effective way of creating privacy.
