Autumn is officially here, and now's the perfect time to spruce up your patio and garden space. It doesn't take a complete renovation to get the most out of your outdoor area – just a few simple, easy-to-do updates can make a big difference. At Bridge Street Stone, we know that with a few slabs of stunning paving like limestone, porcelain, or Yorkstone paired with a bit of creativity, you can transform your garden into a welcoming, autumn-ready space so you can get the most out of your garden whatever the season.
You can also add candle lanterns into the mix; they make great table centrepieces and would be a beautiful addition to a garden party! Solar-powered lights are an excellent no-fuss option, too. Use them to brighten up pathways or showcase your garden features, and they'll turn on and off on their own accord. Different styles of lighting help create that cosy autumnal vibe for spending evenings in the garden, and they help you see since the sun sets quite a bit earlier these days!
When selecting decorations, remember that less is often more. You don't need to go overboard—even a few carefully curated pieces can have a significant impact. For example, a cluster of different-sized pumpkins in various textures can create an eye-catching centrepiece for your outdoor table. Pumpkins are biodegradable, too, so when you're done with them, you can throw them on the compost heap!
Whatever you decide to do, it's all about what's going to make you want to get outside more often this autumn. With the right materials and a bit of inspiration, your garden can be just as enjoyable in autumn as it is in summer!

Layer up for comfort
We all love the warmth of summer, but there's something to say about the cosiness of autumn! Bring the comfort of indoors outside by layering your patio furniture with warm throws and plush cushions. Pick out shades that feel autumnal, like deep burgundies, rich gold, and soft browns. If you're looking to stay on trend this autumn, earthy tones are a beautiful alternative that complement the natural hues of your limestone or Yorkstone paving. These subtle elements make your outdoor area feel more inviting, especially during those crisp autumn evenings, and you're more likely to spend more time outside - it's even better if you've got a gazebo to sit under!Set the scene with lighting
As the days get shorter and evenings get darker, adding some lights to your garden can really change the atmosphere. You can create a charming feel by using fairy lights on your fence or lanterns along the edges of your porcelain paving. For a warm welcoming glow yellow or soft amber lights are perfect. White lights on the other hand are great, but they tend to have a cooler feel, so they're best for summer.You can also add candle lanterns into the mix; they make great table centrepieces and would be a beautiful addition to a garden party!

Use patio heaters
Autumn can be mild and enjoyable, but as soon as the sun goes down, that's another matter. It can get pretty chilly pretty quickly this time of year, so portable heaters can be a real game changer when it comes to staying out in the garden. They offer a stylish and practical way to stay warm while spending time outdoors. You can choose between freestanding models or wall-mounted heaters, depending on your space and style preferences. Many modern designs can easily complement your patio decor, enhancing the overall look while providing the warmth!Bring in seasonal decor
Add the final touches to your autumnal patio with some thoughtfully chosen decor. Incorporating pumpkins, gourds, and seasonal plants and flowers is a beautiful way to bring some colour into your space. Mums, roses, dahlias, purple pansies and even sunflowers are all in season in autumn! The bright oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows of these stunning flowers create a gorgeous visual contrast against your limestone, porcelain, or Yorkstone features, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space.When selecting decorations, remember that less is often more.
