Yes, we think it\u2019s finally safe to say that a brand new season is upon us and ready to be embraced. It\u2019s time to fling open the patio doors, step into your back yard and get excited about designing your newest space \u2013 the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Whether you have a sprawling lawn, or you\u2019re hoping to make the most of your apartment balcony, we have the perfect guide to help you get prepared to go alfresco. These essential exterior updates and investment pieces are going to see you through a long, beautiful, sun-filled summer (we hope), so let\u2019s get going on the 5 easy ways you can create your alfresco oasis, using the best new additions here at Meadows &amp; Byrne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>1: Sitting Pretty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">First things first; no outdoor space can begin to tempt you or your guests outside without some inviting furniture. For those in small spaces, look to inject a pop of colour while keeping items streamlined and lightweight, so that you can move and transport them easily. We love the&nbsp;<strong>Louis Accent Table in Teal<\/strong>&nbsp;(one of this summer\u2019s most sought-after hues),&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac24.95<\/strong>, which will serve you as an iced-tea and book table while you soak up those rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"299\" height=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-3.jpg 299w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image-3-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><figcaption> <strong>Louis Accent Table in Teal<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac24.95<\/strong><br><br>&nbsp; <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Starting your garden furniture journey?

When it comes to packing that punch for a garden party, the devil really is in the detail. From choosing your tablemats \u2013 square or round \u2013 to adding a touch of finesse via heavy napkin rings, your outdoor dining experience can feel just as luxe as an indoor one. As for napkins and table runners, leave any throughts of disposable solutions behind and opt for linen pieces, both a stylish and sustainably-minded solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"347\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image002.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image002-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image002-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image002-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><figcaption> <strong>Fiesta placemats, set of 6, \u20ac23.70<\/strong>  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image003-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image003-2.jpg 406w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image003-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image003-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image003-2-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><figcaption> <strong>Primary light blue placemats, set of 6, \u20ac29.70<\/strong>  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"451\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image004-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image004-1.jpg 451w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image004-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image004-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image004-1-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><figcaption>  <strong>Silver service Irish Linen napkins, set of 4, \u20ac79.95<\/strong>  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image005-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image005-1-1.jpg 406w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image005-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image005-1-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image005-1-1-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><figcaption>  <strong>Grey napkins, set of 6, \u20ac18.95<\/strong>  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image006-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5231\" width=\"415\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image006-1.jpg 466w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image006-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image006-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/image006-1-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/><figcaption>  <strong>Brushed metal napkin rings, set of 4, \u20ac18.95<\/strong> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And there you have it.
