1. Start with Statement Pieces

A summer oasis begins with standout furniture and accessories. We recommend combining designer garden pots with a stylish Basil Bangs umbrella, sling chair, and cushions. Whether you’re looking for a sleek, modern look or a touch of the Mediterranean, these products are perfect for any outdoor setting. The key is to balance style and functionality, allowing the space to feel both inviting and chic.

2. Lush Greenery for a Relaxing Vibe

Plants are essential for transforming an outdoor area into a true retreat. Choose a variety of plants that thrive in the summer sun, and pair them with our lightweight, weather-resistant pots. The mix of greenery with your Basil Bangs umbrella creates the ultimate laid-back yet luxurious atmosphere. Don’t have a pool? No problem. Whether by the pool or in your garden, the right plants and pots can make any space feel like a summer vacay!

3. Create Zones for Entertaining and Relaxation

Whether you have a large backyard or a small patio, creating zones is key to making the most of your space. Think about setting up a lounge area for relaxing with a good book, and another space with seating for hosting friends and family. Use our garden pots to anchor the areas and add texture to the layout, and let Basil Bangs' stunning umbrellas provide the perfect shady spot. There are so many stunning designs to choose from.

4. Add Personal Touches for Comfort

Make your space uniquely yours by adding personal touches, like outdoor cushions, lighting, and decorative accents. Mixing these elements with contemporary pots and the stunning designs from Basil Bangs can give your outdoor oasis a personal, comfortable feel.

5. Don’t Forget the Shade

Australia’s sun can be harsh in summer, and if you want to enjoy your outdoor space all day long, you’ll need shade. A Basil Bangs umbrella is a stylish and practical addition, offering sun protection while adding colour and pattern to your outdoor area.
