This ANYDAY Leaf Deckchair Sling, is just £10 and features an eye-catching white and blue pattern. It'll give a new lease of life to old deckchair frames, and the blue and white pattern is a great place to start for a colour frame if you're starting from scratch?

Looking for a more complete set? The ANDAY Camden 2 Seater Bistro Table and Chairs Set is £119 and comes in yellow, flame and blue.
But if you're thinking for a more relaxed vibe? A lounging table and chairs is the best place to start. These will set you back a bit more, but John Lewis has plenty of options for every garden and budget.

Garden essentials and finishing touches
Once you've got the basics, it's time to move on the extra essentials to really make it feel uniquely yours.
We're talking sofas, cushions, rugs, pouffes, lighting, plants and even mirrors.
Setting the scene and decorating your outdoor space will make it instantly feel more you.
Whether you're looking for a rustic, countryside feel or want to replicate a slice of the Mediterrean it's all down to your finishing touches.
We all know the British Summertime is notoriously unpredictable and sometimes even quite cold, and with this in mind the first things we'd invest in is some form of heat, and some form of shelter.
This Garden Parasol is just £29, and is available in a bright blue colour and grey, it's perfect for keeping you out of the direct sun, or the occasional shower.
As the nights draw in, the LG Outdoor Casa Mia Alto Chiminea Firepit, Matt Black is a great choice. It's £329, and is the perfect chiminea for large and small spaces and will help you make the most of the longer, colder nights.
When the sun does finally show it's face, then a sunlounger is a great investment.
Looking for all wood? The RHS Chelsea Garden Steamer Chair is £399 and gives a fabulous rustic feel with Eucalyptus Wood but if you're on a budget the Suntime Havana Sun Lounger is £149 and this Quick Sun Lounger, is just £65.
Let's not forget this Extreme Lounging B Bed Garden Beanbag, £249 which is sure to be a hit with the kids.
Make things cozy with this Aztec Indoor and Outdoor rug, priced from £40 dependent on size, and then finish things off with these Harmony LED Colour Changing Outdoor Lantern, priced at £65 – they've been a huge hit with John Lewis shoppers and have over 50 positive reviews.
In the mood to relax? You need this Benito Outdoor Pouffe, £96 that doubles as a foot rest, and much needed extra seating.
Then finally, for some glamourous extras we'd recommend investing in an outdoor mirror; it'll make smaller spaces look bigger and is a great statement piece.
This Rectangular Metal Frame Glass Pane Outdoor Mirror is priced from £132 and is available in two sizes.
And of course, you need candle holders, such as this uber cute Mini Square Lantern Candle Holder, at £12, or snap up this Pimlico Lantern Set of 3, £55.
The big event
Now you've got your garden summer ready, it's time to host.
And the best thing about hosting is usually the food right? These are the decorations and seasonal items you need to really carve out your own piece of paradise in your own back yard.
Starting with food? Whether you're looking for a big BBQ or an on-trend pizza oven there are plenty of options to choose from.
The popular Ooni's are on sale at John Lewis, alongside a number of their must have accessories.
Ooni's are great for celebrating, and are perfect for pizzas but also great at grilling. The Ooni Fyra, £249 is powered by wood chips, but you can also get gas powered machines.
Why not serve it up on this Ooni 12 inch Pizza Oven Launcher, £34.99 your guests will love it.
Want something with a bit more oompf? Go for a traditional BBQ.
John Lewis has no shortage of these too, and whether your preference is charcoal or gas, John Lewis has it all.
A great place to start is, Weber Compact 57cm Kettle Charcoal BBQ, £175.99; a trusted, family favourite the brand has been around for years. If you're looking for a gas option then we'd recommend the Outback Omega 250, which at £169 also won't make a massive dent in your finances.
But if you're looking for the Rolls Royce of BBQ's, you can't go wrong with the Big Green Egg Large BBQ & Acacia Wood Shelves Nest Bundle. Of course, it's £1852, so not cheap but it's loved by pretty much everyone.
Finally, let's not forget the pieces that add a bit of personality.
