How to Style Outdoor Bedding for Garden Lounging
When we think of bedding, the bedroom usually comes to mind — but who says comfort should stay indoors? With the warmer months approaching, garden lounging is one of life’s little luxuries. Whether you're reading a book in the sun, hosting a picnic, or stargazing at night, styling your outdoor space with soft bedding-inspired accessories can add a whole new layer of comfort and charm.
At Cotton Haven, our Outdoor & Garden collection brings the same softness and aesthetic of premium bedding to the outdoors. Here’s how to make the most of it.
1. Layer Up with Outdoor Throws and Cushions
Start by laying the foundation — literally. Soft outdoor throws and scatter cushions made with weather-resistant cotton blends are ideal for creating a plush seating area on decking, patios, or even lawn. Choose neutral tones or soft pastels to create a calm, spa-like garden vibe.
2. Turn Benches into Beds
Transform your garden bench or daybed with fitted mattress pads or roll-up bedding. Add a few pillows and lightweight duvets or quilts for a nap-ready outdoor nook. Don’t forget a breathable cotton cover to keep things fresh and easy to maintain.
3. Use Bedding as Picnic Blankets
Who needs a standard picnic blanket when you can bring the luxurious feel of home with you? Our outdoor-friendly bedding doubles perfectly for picnics — soft, durable, and oh-so-inviting. Add a basket, a book, and your favourite tea, and you’re all set.
4. Create a Chill Zone Under a Canopy
Set up a shaded area using a garden parasol or fabric canopy, and style the ground with layered bedding elements — think folded duvets, large pillows, and layered throws. It’s perfect for meditating, catching up on podcasts, or sipping cold lemonade in total bliss.
5. Keep a Basket of Cozy Essentials
UK weather can be unpredictable, so keep a woven basket with spare throws, cushion covers, and even foldable cotton quilts nearby. It’s functional and looks great as part of your garden decor too!
Final Thoughts
Your garden is more than just a backdrop — it’s a space to unwind, host, and recharge. With a little creativity and the right soft furnishings, you can bring the cozy comfort of Cotton Haven bedding outdoors. Explore our handpicked collection made to elevate your open-air lounging moments.
