It’s time to say goodbye to long, dark days because spring has sprung. The change in season offers a glimmer of hope, and the longer, lighter days provide the perfect excuse to spend more time outside.
But this does mean that now is the time to consider how you’re going to prepare your garden for any upcoming summer soirees. And there’s one destination to take note of and it’s Made, particularly its new garden collection.
If you thought you couldn’t bring your same eye for interiors to your garden, think again. When it comes to making the most of your outdoor space, the brand has something for every style preference.

And if you’re interested in what’s trending, natural textiles continue to be popular – think rattan and raffia – as well as earthy tones. Similarly, allowing your patio to be an extension of your living space remains important, for example, investing in sofas, rugs, and cushions to dress your garden in the same way you would your interiors.
So, if you want to bring the comfort and design of your home to your outdoor space, here’s our edit of the contemporary and considered outdoor furnishings at Made that are bound to see you through the sunnier times and beyond.
