AUTUMN is here and the Chelsea Flower Show was (f)all over it last week. Think colourful autumn gardens with browns, reds and even pumpkin-orange accessories.
It’s inspired me to think of creating a more suitable offering in my garden, and if you’re lucky enough to have access to one, create your own seasonal outdoor space with these switch-ups . . .

LET THERE BE LIGHT: Warm lights give off a gorgeous glow during autumn evenings and there are lots to choose from. B&Q’s Solar Firefly warm white string lights are excellent value at just £12 for 11.9m (100 LED) lights. I also love the orange glow of the Filson festoon lights that you can get now at wayfair.co.uk, on sale at £16.98, down from £28.99.
SAVE: £12.01
MAKE IT COSY: Drape throws over balcony and patio furniture to add texture and soften edges. Wilko has slashed its waffle throws from £16 to just £8.

STEP ON IT: An outdoor rug is the kind of look seen at The Chelsea Flower Show. I adore aldi.co.uk’s Kirkton House round jute rugs. They were £29.99 but are now only £11.99.

DRESS IT UP: Make a truly seasonal autumn garden with orange and red ornaments. I am obsessed with the lights4fun.co.uk mirror pumpkins — £19.99 for three — and at night their LED light means they glow. Sign up to their newsletter for 10 per cent off.
