Turn your outdoor space into a serene, glowing retreat — with effortless style.

Summer is the perfect time to make the most of your garden, balcony, or patio. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying quiet evening moments, the right lighting and accessories can completely transform the feel of your outdoor area.

Here are five easy styling tips using our favourite lanterns and accessories from the Turquoise Living Summer Garden Collection — now 15% off for a limited time!

1. ✨ Create a Soft Glow with Outdoor Lanterns

Lanterns are a timeless way to add warmth and charm. Cluster two or three metal or bamboo lanterns of different heights in a corner of your garden or by the patio steps. Use LED candles or solar lights to give a soft, flickering glow — without any fuss.

💡 Tip: Our Copper Woven Metal Lanterns are a customer favourite — rustic, weather-resistant, and perfect for alfresco evenings.

2. 🌸 Style a Summer Tablescape

Planning a garden brunch or evening drinks? Add charm with a few glass lanterns or tealight holders as your centrepiece. Mix in seasonal blooms in simple jars or ceramic vases for a laid-back yet styled look.

3. 🪴 Frame Pathways or Steps

Line your garden path or decking steps with solar-powered lanterns. It’s an easy, elegant way to guide guests through your space — and gives your garden a magical feel after dark.

✨ We recommend our Solar Powered Starry Nights Hanging Lanterns for a boho-luxe touch.

4. 🍷 Create a Cosy Corner

Pair your favourite garden chair or rattan bench with a soft throw, a side table, and a lantern for ambient light. You’ll have the perfect nook for reading, sipping rosé, or stargazing.

🔥 Don't forget: our Soft Furnishings are also 15% off during the sale!

5. 🏡 Mix Textures for an Organic Look

Combine lanterns with woven baskets, ceramics, and natural wood to add texture and depth to your garden styling. Keep things relaxed and earthy — it’s all about that effortless, “holiday at home” feel.
