Upgrade your Garden Space for Summer

After our recent post on getting your greenhouse ready for summer, you will likely be making other preparations to your garden space too. Any glimmer of sunshine in Britain is just cause to make the most of your garden, and at TJ Hughes we have got all of the garden accessories and garden furniture you will need to perfectly prep any outdoor setting.

 Whether you plan on throwing outdoor parties, BBQs or fancy indulging in a little alfresco dining, one of the best pieces of garden equipment to keep you warm when the temperatures drop in the evening is a patio heater. At TJ Hughes we offer a fantastic selection of gas patio heaters in a range of stylish designs that will complement your garden space.

 The great thing about patio heaters is that you simply turn them on to receive instant heat. Ideal for keeping your guests warm throughout the summer’s evenings, many of our patio heaters come equipped with wheels for easy movement – so you can move them to wherever heat is required in the garden.

Ideal for setting a relaxing ambience at your outdoor events, gas patio heaters also complement the overall style of your garden through the pleasant modern design.

A TJ Hughes favourite gas patio heater is the Stainless Steel Gas Patio Heater. In a slim tower design, this patio heater offers up to 8KW of heat. It also comes equipped with a flame failure safety device.

As well as gas patio heaters, at TJ Hughes we also offer a selection of wood burning patio heaters. A wood burning heater also offers a great level of heat but along with an open design so that you can sit and relax while watching the flickering flames.

Refresh your Bedroom with a Bed in a Bag

It’s the one room in the home that you require complete relaxation from. Even if you only redecorated your bedroom a couple of years ago, it can quickly start to look dated – preventing you from enjoying that relaxing atmosphere! However, fear not, if you want to give your bedroom a fresh new look to continue that relaxed atmosphere (but don’t want to break the bank in doing so!) then you needn’t look any further than the competitive selection of Bed in a Bag sets from TJ Hughes.

A Bed in a Bag is a complete solution for refreshing the look of your bedroom. In any bedroom, the bed is always the centrepiece, and is the main feature that people notice once they walk into the room – therefore, giving your bed a new look will ultimately change the appearance of the whole bedroom too! Each Bed in a Bag package includes all of the essentials you could possibly need to change the look of your bed. The majority of Bed in a Bag packages include pillowcases, a duvet and a bed runner in a complementing colour or pattern to the rest of the bedding set.

When selecting your Bed in a Bag, at TJ Hughes we recommend choosing a set that matches the current décor of your room, for example if you have colourful wallpaper in your bedroom it would be best selecting a key colour from this and then choosing Bed in a Bag that matches this colour. Alternatively, if your bedroom is quite neutral then you really can have fun in choosing your Bed in a Bag as bedrooms with understated painted walls in grey, beige or cream will really work with any other colour – to add further decoration to your room you can team your Bed in the Bag with matching bedroom accessories such as a lamp or curtains.

Refreshing your bedroom with a Bed in a Bag from TJ Hughes will not only give your bedroom a quick and affordable design tweak but will also leave you with a calm and relaxed environment that is sure to help send you off to a peaceful sleep night after night.

Begin your Summer of Gardening with a New Greenhouse

Now that April has arrived, summer days are firmly within our sights. Summer is the perfect opportunity to start getting all green fingered in the garden through plotting plants, planting vegetables and generally giving the whole lawn a good tidy up. One way to really enjoy everything that your lawn space has to offer is by adding a greenhouse to your garden. At TJ Hughes, we offer cheap greenhouses in a number of sizes so you can easily add a greenhouse to gardens both large and small.

 If you are interested in adding a greenhouse to your garden, here are a few gardening jobs that you can be getting on with during April:

 1) A greenhouse is the perfect place for anyone who wants to plant their own herbs such as basil, chives, fennel and parsley. To ensure your herbs are planted perfectly, April is the best time to sow your herbs. Make sure you sow them into pots or trays and keep them stored on a shelf within the greenhouse – Once they’re ready, they will be ideal for sprinkling flavour onto summer BBQ burgers, steaks and chicken drumsticks!

2) Nothing says summer quite like a garden full of vibrant coloured blooms! Make sure you have enough time to plant those gorgeous summer plants by planting flowers such as agapanthus and nerines – by the time they have fully bloomed they will become beautiful additions to any garden space.

3) April marks the start of summer and also the arrival of those pesky pets! Ants and slugs can feast upon a number of plants that you keep stored away in your greenhouse. To avoid any pests simply carry out regular checks of your greenhouse and treat any plants that have fallen victim to pests separately, cleaning your greenhouse frequently can also help to keep pests at bay.

4) Plan a tidy up of your greenhouse in April. When June comes around it is time to sow seeds such as beetroot, lettuce, cabbage and peas so you will need plenty of space in your greenhouse if you plan on growing your own delicious food.

 Enjoy everything that a summer of gardening has to offer by getting busy in your own garden thanks to a greenhouse! Browse the complete range of high quality and beautifully designed cheap greenhouses available to buy now online at TJ Hughes.
