Competition | Win a £1,000 shopping spree at Garden Trading

Lottie Storey September 17, 2020

Treat your home or garden to a new look for autumn courtesy of Garden Trading

Autumn is here, and with the new season the possibility of new adventures. Particularly welcome after such a challenging and unpredictable year. But there have been silver linings to be found – not least an appreciation of the simple things and a quieter pace of life.

Many have realised that genuine contentment stems from spending time with family and those who matter, and to a certain extent from products made with as much function as style – which is at the core of Garden Trading’s ever-evolving collection. Most of us have spent much more time at home than usual these past few months, and the urge to feather our nests has been strong. With this in mind, we’re giving away a £1,000 voucher to spend online, on Garden Trading’s beautiful range of homewares, all carefully designed to create a space you’ll long to spend more time in. But which would you choose?

The new-season kitchen collection includes enamel and ceramic cookware, baking essentials and heatproof glass storage to help you make the most of home cooking and reduce waste. In the living room, autumnal toned cushions and vases complement rattan-framed mirrors designed to reflect natural light and warmth. Garden Trading has also expanded its collection of pots and planters, with styles to suit all spaces, from low-slung bowls to high-hanging potholders. Meanwhile, the new Linear furniture range majors in modernity and versatility, with sleek consoles and side tables in a range of sizes.

Win | a hanging nest chair

Iona Bower February 21, 2019

Enter for a chance to win this prize to bring spring to your home or garden

Days are starting to get a little longer and brighter, and our thoughts are naturally turning to spending time outside in the fresh air again. As eager as we may be to fling open doors and windows, fully fledged picnic and barbecue season is still a way off. However, Garden Trading has just the answer for bridging that seasonal gap.

The new Garden Room collection for spring encourages blending indoor and outdoor living, introducing a sense of flow from home to garden. Style wise, there’s more than a nod to the past, with macramé accessories and cane furniture bringing a retro 1970s feel to the collection, along with leafy greens, natural materials and woven textures. An update to Garden Trading’s popular all-weather nest chair is a shining example.

YOUR CHANCE TO WIN

A great blend of modern and nostalgic, the new hanging nest chair looks as at home in a living room or conservatory as it would in an orangery. And with its PE bamboo base, it’s safe to find it a home in the garden, too. Wherever you choose to keep it, this prize is set to become your favourite perch for a little time out all spring and summer long. Discover the full spring collection at gardentrading.co.uk.

HOW TO ENTER For your chance to win a hanging nest chair worth £350 from Garden Trading, click the button below to answer the folliowing question:

Q: Garden Trading’s macramé accessories and cane furniture bring a retro feel to the collection. But from what decade in particular?

Closing date: 10 April 2019.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
