5 Simple Ways to Get Your Outdoor Space Summer-Ready

At Browns Estate Agents, we know just how much the right outdoor space can add to a property’s appeal.

Here are five easy tips to make your garden or patio feel like a summer sanctuary:

Start with a good tidy-up. Clean your paving, sweep the decking, and remove any furniture or accessories that have seen better days. This fresh start helps you see the potential in your space—and makes room for elements you truly love.

Outdoor textiles and decor add personality, just like indoors. Try laying down a weatherproof rug, adding colourful cushions, or incorporating unique ornaments. For added impact, consider a pergola or garden arch to create structure and define zones.

Fragrance goes a long way in creating a calming outdoor atmosphere. Planting lavender, rosemary, or mint can help you unwind and makes your space even more inviting. Plus, herbs are handy for summer cooking!

Comfort matters. Look for outdoor seating that’s both stylish and durable—rattan and bamboo remain popular for good reason. Want a focal point? Position your furniture around a fire pit to create an inviting area that works from day to night.

Soft lighting transforms any garden. Fairy lights or festoon bulbs create a relaxed, festive vibe, while lanterns or candles add atmosphere. If you want to take things up a notch, integrated smart lighting is ideal for zoning terraces or poolside spaces.

A well-kept garden can boost kerb appeal and make a lasting impression on potential buyers. If you’re considering a move this summer, let us help you make the most of your property.
