Transforming your garden into a barbecue haven is a wonderful way to create a space where you can enjoy outdoor cooking, dining, and relaxation. With the right garden design ideas, furniture, and décor, you can craft an inviting and functional BBQ spot. Here at Charles Bentley, we offer a range of items that can help you achieve this transformation.
Garden Design Ideas to Create the Perfect BBQ Spot.
Creating the perfect BBQ spot starts with thoughtful planning and design. Here are some essential garden design ideas to consider:
1. Define Your Space:
Firstly, decide where in your garden you want your barbecue area to be. It’s important to choose a spot that’s away from flammable structures and plants but still accessible to your home for convenience. Use paving stones or decking to create a defined space that separates the BBQ area from the rest of the garden.
2. Plan the Layout:
Consider the layout of your BBQ area to ensure it’s both functional and comfortable. Your layout should include distinct zones for cooking, dining, and lounging. Place your gas or charcoal BBQ grill in a well-ventilated area, ideally sheltered from the wind, to make cooking easier and more enjoyable. Ensure there’s ample space for moving around safely.
3. Lighting:
Good lighting is essential for evening barbecues. String lights and pendant lights can create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. We offer a variety of outdoor lighting options that can add both function and charm to your space.
4. Comfortable Seating:
Ensure there’s plenty of comfortable seating for your guests. Whether you prefer a large outdoor dining set or a combination of dining chairs and lounge furniture, we have a wide range of options to suit your needs and style.

Using Our Garden Furniture to Enhance Your Space
Choosing the right garden furniture can significantly enhance your BBQ haven. We offer an array of stylish and durable outdoor furniture to help you create a functional and beautiful space.
1. Dining Sets:
A good dining set is the centrepiece of any barbecue area. Our outdoor dining sets come in various sizes and styles, from compact bistro sets for smaller gardens to large dining tables that can accommodate bigger gatherings. Look for sets that are weather-resistant and easy to clean, ensuring they stay looking great throughout the barbecue season.
2. Lounge Furniture:
In addition to dining furniture, consider adding some lounge furniture to your BBQ area. Our range of outdoor sofas, armchairs, and daybeds can provide a comfortable space for guests to relax before and after meals. Opt for pieces with thick, weatherproof cushions for maximum comfort and durability.
3. BBQ Accessories and Storage:
Organising your barbecue tools and accessories can make outdoor cooking more efficient. We offer practical storage solutions like outdoor cabinets and storage boxes to keep your BBQ area tidy. Additionally, our range of BBQ tools and accessories, including BBQ covers and scrapers, can help you grill like a pro.
4. Fire-Pits and Heaters:
Extend the usability of your BBQ haven into the cooler months by incorporating a firepit or outdoor heater. Our fire pits not only provide warmth but also serve as a focal point for your outdoor space, creating a cosy ambiance for evening gatherings.
5. Outdoor Rugs:
An outdoor rug can add a touch of indoor comfort to your barbecue area. Our selection of rugs can help define different zones within your space and add a pop of colour and texture to your garden décor.

Incorporating Greenery and Décor for an Inviting Atmosphere
The final touch to creating a BBQ haven is incorporating greenery and décor to make the space feel inviting and homely.
1. Plants and Planters:
Plants can add life and colour to your barbecue area. Use a mix of potted plants, hanging baskets, and garden beds to create a lush, green environment. We offer a variety of stylish planters that can complement your garden’s aesthetic. Choose a mix of flowering plants, herbs, and ornamental grasses to add texture and interest.
2. Outdoor Décor:
Add personality to your BBQ space with outdoor decor. Decorative items like mirrors, outdoor rugs, and outdoor clocks can add unique touches to your garden. Our range of garden décor includes many charming pieces that can enhance the visual appeal of your BBQ haven.
3. Soft Furnishings:
Soft furnishings like cushions and throws can make your outdoor seating areas more comfortable and inviting. Choose weather-resistant fabrics that can withstand the elements while adding colour and pattern to your space.
4. Water Features:
Consider adding a water feature to your garden for a calming effect. The sound of running water can enhance the relaxing atmosphere of your barbecue area. We offer various water features that can suit different garden sizes and styles.
5. Seasonal Décor:
Keep your BBQ haven fresh and exciting by updating your décor with the seasons. Swap out cushions, table settings, and décor items to reflect the changing seasons. Our versatile range of outdoor products makes it easy to refresh your gardens look throughout the year!
