While we never know what the British weather is going to throw at us, there's no reason why you can't reap the mood-boosting benefits of spending time outdoors... as we do in Norway. The NORSK lifestyle store is brimming with chic Scandi garden accessories to pep up your garden – from sculptural planters to flickering lanterns and cosy throws – that can be enjoyed whatever the weather.
Magical Lighting
Light is the key to creating atmosphere and intimacy in your garden and no outdoor evening get-together is complete without flickering candlelight. Our chic lanterns and candle holders are as useful indoors as out; they’re ideal for everything from Spring gatherings in the garden to Winter dinner parties by the fire.
Our bamboo Grome Lantern, our stunning curved bamboo Balu Lantern and our rattan Ova Lantern all have glass inserts which house the flame to protect them from the wind. For a touch of elegance, go for glass and antique brass. Our minimalist box-style Pillar Lanterns (in small, medium and large sizes) look lovely clustered together, while our Fhia Lanterns (in small and medium sizes) can be placed on a table or patio, or hung on a fence or tree. For a more rustic look, our glazed stoneware Artist Candle Holder and clay Chau tealight holder look right at home in the garden.
Al Fresco Eats
Eating outdoors is hugely popular in Norway; from picnics in the mountains, to barbecues by the water and long lunches in the garden. Our resin garden tableware in beautiful golden hues from House Doctor – including dinner plates, side plates, and dessert bowls – are ideal for al fresco feasts. What's more, they are all currently listed at very special prices in our Outlet. Pair with these golden design paper napkins from House Doctor for a special garden gathering.
Our preference for a paired-back, rustic Scandi style extends from the home to the garden and we think there's nothing better than serving outdoor feasts on our beautifully organic NORSK own brand wooden serving boards.
Cosy and Comfortable
There's nothing worse than trying to enjoy lunch perched on uncomfortable garden chairs. Add comfort with cushions in our 100% cotton monochrome Box Cushion Covers which add a sophisticated, bohemian look.
When the temperature drops, don't be tempted to retreat indoors. Our pure lambswool blankets from Swedish heritage brand Klippan will keep you toasty after sun down.... And we have some vibrant new colourways to enjoy this Spring, too. Store them in this decorative bamboo storage basket beside the garden table and your guests can take one as they're needed.
Planting Perfection
Beautiful garden planters are the gift that keeps on giving, adding structure, colour and interest to your outside space throughout the year. Our speckled glazed Pho Planter will add personality to your patio, while our frost-proof rustic concrete Hook Planters withstand all weathers. Plant now with Summer-flowering bulbs or shrubs that will add colour and structure to your garden all year round.
Rainy Days
When the weather truly is dreadful enough to keep you indoors, you can still soak up inspiration for your garden from this gorgeous hardback coffee table book by Kinfolk. It explores outdoor spaces and the many ways they enhance our lives and help us foster community, looking at gardens as places for work, play, entertaining and inspiration. Why not light this beautiful Scandinavian garden-scented candle or breathe in the scent from the diffuser by Meraki while you're reading, to bring the outside in.
