Avoid The Holiday Chaos With a Garden Staycation
Going on holiday can be stressful at the best of times, and it seems especially so in the current age of ‘revenge travel’ (post-pandemic trips that take revenge on COVID for lost time!)
With so much in the news about potential travel disruptions, why not skip the airport queues, transport strikes and lost luggage, and holiday at home this year?
If you’re keen to enjoy a relaxing staycation, read on for our top tips on using outdoor furniture and accessories to recreate the holiday experience – with not a cancelled flight in sight!
1. Maze Rattan Orlando Sun Lounger Set
If your first thought when picturing yourself on holiday is of lounging by the pool, cocktail in hand, then you really should invest in a sun lounger (or two!)
This stylish and comfortable Orlando Set from Maze Rattan features 2 sun loungers and a coffee table, perfect for holding your ice-cold beverages. The loungers have adjustable backs, so you can find the best angle for relaxing.
With 2 loungers included, you’ll be able to put your feet up alongside your travel buddy and enjoy your usual holiday chit-chat. Showerproof cushions and durable rattan frames ensure these sun loungers will withstand all the weathers you encounter on your garden getaway!
2. Maze Rattan Regal 8 Seat Fire Pit Bar Table and Chairs
After a long day at the beach, head back to the ‘hotel’ for a shower, then reunite your family or friendship group for dinner around the Regal Fire Pit Bar Table and Chairs by Maze Rattan.
This stunning set features 8 padded bar stools with footrests, which will ensure everyone stays comfy well into the night. The centre fire pit with a glass surround will keep your all-inclusive buffet warm and make sure no one gets chilly once the sun has set!
This contemporary bar set is the perfect place to discuss the day’s adventures and plan more for tomorrow.
3. Globo Royal Garden Hanging Chair & Stand
Craving a romantic getaway for two? Snuggle up with your beau in the Globo Royal Garden Hanging Chair instead!

So, pour yourselves a drink, snuggle up, and feel thankful not to be snapping at each other after battling through traffic, train strikes and sunstroke!
4. Maze Rattan Oxford Lifestyle Suite
On holiday is the perfect time to put your feet up and delve into a good book.
As a daybed, the Maze Rattan Oxford Lifestyle Suite is great for relaxing afternoons with your favourite thriller or romance novel.
Then, separate the sections to create the ideal spot to get the gang together for a BBQ, drinks and catchup. Holidays with friends are the best!
5. Tiipii Hammock Bed in Natural White
If hammocks are your mark of a good holiday, hang this beautiful Tiipii Hammock Bed in your garden and start swaying!
Large enough to support 2 – 5 people (depending on the size you choose), this unique hanging chair is also a great place to scatter cushions and throws and chill out with friends.
If you don’t have a tree to suspend it from, there’s an optional stand available, so there’s no excuse not to add this incredible structure to your garden. Just don’t blame us when you nod off and find that hours have passed – that’s what holidays are for!
6. Extreme Lounging B Bulb Connect Festoon Outside Lights

This modern outdoor heater radiates heat up to 5 metres and has optional waterproof Bluetooth speakers in the base – ideal for a party on the patio!

Take it to the beach or park, or just lay it out on your lawn. Then, pack your sandwiches, strawberries and Prosecco, and get ready to enjoy a summer feast outside.
It’ll be just as good as picking up your picnic basket at the hotel reception and heading off to a desert island (probably!)
