It is not just trees and flowers that make holiday cottages warm and inviting… garden furniture plays a big- role in the comfort that can be derived from the great outdoors. Some holiday cottages have gardens which are so welcoming, guests hardly spend anytime indoors… the living room is brought outside…
Imagine a comfy sofa nestled under an all-weather canape in your Irish holiday home, beckoning you to sit back and relax come rain or shine, a warming wooden fence enveloping you, creating a cosy little corner of the world where you can enjoy some ‘alone’ time. If you feel artsy…you could invest in a couple of mirrors to reflect other outstanding areas of the garden…or you could position a mirror towards the sky and just sit back and watch the ever- changing view from the heavens…
If a romantic haven for two is what you are looking for... holidays cottages in Ireland really captivate the senses with their clever use of garden furniture…when the sun goes down, the solar lanterns glow up…adding a gentle, soothing ambiance…blurring outlines…softening colours… allowing a lovely evening to unfold with a magical setting… homely, comforting, soothing and quite romantic. Look for holiday cottages in Ireland which use lighting to coax you into the Garden of Eden. There may be chandeliers hanging from wooden beams or baubles laced around trees…adding a miniature touch of Christmas spirit…those tiny twinkling lights prancing daintily upon trembling branches on a cool evening…making eyes sparkle like tinsel…tiny coloured baubles taking a gentle spin…reflecting their glitter…the perfect setting for a romantic outdoor dinner…candles on the table…wine chilling…comfortable chairs… add some soft music and enjoy…
Ahh…there is nothing so captivating as a living fire…perfect for a large gathering…imagine all your holiday guests sat around this intimate space in your cosy holiday cottage in Ireland…someone swinging lazily from a hammock…the dog cosied up by your feet, the rocking chair gently easing to and fro ...grandpa snoozing on the sun lounger…the sound of a guitar gently plucked…moments of laughter and relaxation…the fire drawing everyone together on a beautiful July evening… fold-up chairs with a comfy cushion for those who want to sit in their own corner of the garden. Picnic rugs and beanbags for teenagers…glasses of wine clinking, lemonade bubbles rising to the surface of long tall glasses and mugs of hot chocolate wafting their rich earthy tones…the embers on the barbecue settling as the King of the grill works his magic with the tongs… everyone just enjoying each other’s presence… good food, good company, good spirits…cottage warmth oozing from the inside out as you bask under the stars in an oasis of light and warmth… Enjoy those lazy, hazy evenings of summer…and take advantage of every piece of garden furniture…there are holiday cottages in Ireland waiting to lull you into a state of sweet, contented bliss.
