7 Garden Design Ideas for 2022

If you're planning on entertaining family and guests in your garden this year, then you need to make sure it leaves a good impression. Here are 7 simple ideas to help you make the most of your outdoor living space.

Heat Things Up With a Firepit

The Garden Furniture Centre

Stylish, elegant, and striking, a garden table with a firepit will get your friends and neighbors talking.

While many garden dining sets with firepits are made from rattan, this particular beauty is made from teak and a heavy-duty steel frame.

Forming a perfect centerpiece for the garden, this 8-seater combo means you'll want to dine outside more than inside!

Add Curves & Archways

There are many ways to design your garden. The way in which you choose will tell guests a lot about your personality.

While some backyards look energetic, others can be autumnal, and some are created to replicate indoor living spaces - but outdoors.

Adding circular patterns and curved archways draws focus and "centres" people.

Be Creating With Lighting

Introducing different types of lights can dramatically change the feel and atmosphere of your garden.

Low-level lighting can help illuminate plants and flowers, while string lighting and occasional lights can bring warmth and glow.

Be careful not to go overboard otherwise your patio and decking could look cheesy and cheap!

Prioritize Comfort & Relaxation

It's all well and good having a nice looking garden - but is your garden furniture comfortable?

A cozy and relaxing seating option is the classic hanging egg chair swing.

These bad-boys look sleek, and super soft, and can rock you to sleep like a newborn baby!

Bring The Beach Bar Home

Save money for a holiday by not going on holiday!

Set up a small yet reliable bar in your own garden and bring the holiday to you.

You'll save all the hassle of the airport and won't get sand in your shoes!

Use Railway Sleepers For Plants and Tree Beds

With almost infinite ways to pot plants and trees, we've uncovered one you might not have seen.

If you're handy with a hammer and nails, why not get your hands on some railway sleepers and make bedding pots out of them?

These are low-cost, high-impact garden ideas right here.

Remember About Lazy Sunday Afternoons With a Hammock

What better way to laze around on a Sunday afternoon than by chilling out in a hammock?

While the one in this picture is attached to a couple of sweet pine trees (which we don't expect you to have) most hammocks can be bought with a stand to attach it to.

Other alternatives include swing hammocks, but I feel the traditional style is the best way forward here.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
