Summer 2025 has begun! Time to turn your garden, balcony or patio into a cozy, stylish place to enjoy until the wee hours. From clever mood makers to practical styling tips: with these 7 ideas you can effortlessly create a warm, inviting outdoor space.
1. Lights on!
As soon as the sun goes down, string lights, table lamps or wall spotlights create a magical effect. Play with different heights for a dynamic lighting effect: think of hanging lamps above the garden table, lanterns along the path and small lights between the plants.
Warm white light works best for a cozy atmosphere. Do you have a canopy or pergola? Then you can easily attach a light string to it. Or choose solar lighting if you do not have any power outlets nearby.
2. Want a little flame? Of course!
A real mood maker in the garden, a subtle flame. Not everyone wants or is allowed to burn wood, and fortunately that is not necessary. Tenderflame offers a beautiful and environmentally friendly alternative. These stylish mood fireplaces , candles and table fireplaces work on a unique fuel fluid, called Tenderfuel , which is clean and safe with minimal smoke, odor and soot.
Whether you choose a compact table fireplace on the terrace, an elegant candle on the garden table or even a hanging fireplace on the wall of your patio: with Tenderflame you immediately create a warm, intimate atmosphere. The dancing flames provide peace and coziness, and the great thing is: you can also use them indoors when the weather is bad.
3. Outside becomes inside
Why would you only use your most beautiful home accessories indoors? Bring some of your interior outside: decorative cushions, plaids and beautiful side tables give your garden that homely atmosphere. Lay a stylish rug on the terrace, throw a plaid over the lounge set and place a bowl of lemons or a spicy plant on the table.
Use weatherproof materials or store your fabric accessories in a box or basket when you go inside to keep them nice and dry.
4. Small is also cozy
Even a compact outdoor space, such as a balcony, can become an oasis of peace and atmosphere. Think of a bistro set with soft seat cushions, a hanging plant here and there, and a compact table fireplace from Tenderflame as a radiant centerpiece.
The table models are safe, smoke-free and easy to move. Perfect for an evening of drinks or a romantic dinner for two, without compromising on atmosphere or style.
5. Green is good
Plants bring life to your garden and immediately create a calming, cozy atmosphere. Combine flower pots in different sizes and materials, hang containers on the wall or fence, or create a vertical garden.
Choose fragrant herbs such as lavender, mint or thyme: they smell wonderful and you can use them in the kitchen or in your summer drinks.
6. Dining under the stars
There is nothing better than eating outside on a warm summer evening. Dress your outdoor table with a linen tablecloth, beautiful tableware, fresh flowers and, you guessed it, a Tenderflame table fireplace in the middle. This way you create an instant restaurant feeling in your own backyard.
No room for an outdoor kitchen? A well-stocked snack board will do wonders. And don't forget the citronella candles to keep the mosquitoes at bay!
7. Atmospheric sounds
Ambience is not only in what you see, but also in what you hear. Add a subtle background music to your garden experience. Think of a portable speaker with soothing music or a soft jazzy playlist.
Place a Tenderflame next to it and the picture is complete: flame, sound, light, everything for a perfect summer evening.
Enjoy!
Whether you have a garden, balcony or roof terrace: with a few smart adjustments your outdoor space will become the place to enjoy this summer. And with the stylish fireplaces from Tenderflame you not only add warmth, but also a touch of luxury and sustainability. Let those long summer evenings come.
