Hi Everyone,
As winter wraps us in its chilly embrace, there’s no better time to transfer your outdoor space into a year-round clamping haven.
This is what I was told as I visited the Livingdreams showroom in Meilen this week. Having just come back from a trip to the mountains and feeling somewhat chilled, I looked at Nicole Hoch (founder and owner of Livingdreams) in disbelief. She then lead me outside to the magical garden part of the showroom and said:
“Imagine lounging under the stars, snuggled up in plush furry blankets, surrounded by the soft glow of lanterns. The perfect way to enjoy a nice glass of wine and simply chill with loved ones.”
With the right set up your garden or other outdoor area can become a cosy retreat, no matter the season.

Cosy Glamping at Home All Year Round
The time to invest in outdoor lounges is now:
Don’t wait for Spring to start preparing your outdoor paradise. Now is the perfect time to invest in stylish, timeless, durable lounges custom made to suit your outdoor space.
The lounges at Livingdreams, paired with super cute weatherproof cushions are the perfect answer to being cosy both indoors and outdoors. Especially if you don’t want the hassle of having to bring in outdoor furnishings every time there is rain etc.
“Tis” the season for furry blankets:
A soft furry blanket makes for a great home accessory. Perfect for sitting outside or even inside. They transform any living room into a cosy space. Cosy clamping at its best!
Colourful accessories:
Do think carefully about the colour scheme you want outside. I always love to play with similar colour schemes both indoors and out. This can really give the feeling of an extended living space.
Note that not everything has to be super colourful. Simply sticking to black and white both inside and out will always look stylish and present an element of contemporary space. Add a bit of greenery to calm the senses and provide the feeling of being out in nature.
Cushions available online here.
Outdoor lighting that truly sets the mood:
My heart melted as I saw the lily pod lights above. I can imagine having a row of these in my garden – need to talk to the Hubby about this (smile).
These black and white lanterns are also fabulous for setting a cosy outdoor atmosphere. You can even start with one and then over time add more for effect. Play with lanterns of different sizes grouped together.
Lanterns available online here.
The new green that’s always green:
Can you believe the plant pictured above is actually fake?
I remember dreadful plastic fake plants and flowers as a child. They were so tacky, there was a real stigma about them. Today however, good quality artificial plants are made so well and so realistic that you truly can’t tell the difference until you physically touch them.
The perfect solution for a busy lifestyle or for anyone that doesn’t enjoy gardening.
Statement pots:
No outdoor space is truly complete without a touch of something to make your space unique.
One or two large statement pieces like the pots above will always have a bigger impact than many smaller items. This is one time where the rule of “less is more” truly does apply. However “size does matter” and large is better when choosing outdoor accessories.
Furry Cosy Chair for Cosy Indoor Glamping:
For those of you without an outdoor area, or if you simply prefer the indoors in winter – how about adding a beautiful furry cosy chair, simulating an outdoor clamping escape.
Joelle from Livingdreams loves this one as her escape when she wants to work in comfort. It was hard to get her to move after taking the photo – smile!
