How to set up a dream garden with the best Ikea accessories

When temperatures rise we want to enjoy the outdoors and, therefore, we make efforts to make our balcony, terrace or garden comfortable and welcoming.

At this point in June, surely almost all of us already have a table and chairs set up to be able to have a drink or eat outside, but it is also possible that we find this space a bit empty or without charm. In order to give it a more personal and unique air, we must equip it with decorative accessories.

At El Comprador de La Vanguardia we want to help you achieve a dream space and, for this reason, we propose the best lighting accessories, decoration and outdoor furniture that you can buy at Ikea. Products that will make you fall in love and allow you to fully enjoy your outdoor area.

Whether we have a sofa, a hammock or a rocking chair, we must also have a coffee table like this on our terrace to be able to leave our drinks on it.

We propose this model that is made of powder-coated steel and plastic. A combination of materials that makes it a very durable and easy-to-maintain table.

This outdoor coffee table has a removable tray and interior space to store crockery, cushions or covers. In addition, we can also fill it with ice to use it as an improvised fridge to keep drinks cold if we organize a party.

String lights, like this Sommarlanke model, do not offer much light, but they do manage to create an intimate and cozy atmosphere to spend comfortable evenings sharing conversations and laughter outside with our friends or family.

This model has 12 LED lights that lasts approximately 25,000 hours, is suitable for outdoor use (IP 44), and works with batteries to be able to place it anywhere without the need for a nearby plug.

Having a dim and indirect light will give us a romantic and intimate atmosphere to enjoy cozy evenings on our terrace. For this reason, we propose you these beautiful floor lamps suitable for outdoors.

A model that has LED light and that works with batteries. It is made of resistant plastic, it is easy to move thanks to its handle and low weight, and it is approved for outdoor lighting (IP 44).

This set of three LED candles is ideal to place in a corner of the terrace to have a point of ambient light, or to place in the center of the table and create a romantic atmosphere that will accompany our summer dinners.

They have a timer so that every day they open at the same time and we can choose how long they should remain illuminated. They work with AA batteries that offer up to 25,000 hours of light, and are suitable for indoors or outdoors (IP 44).

With colorful decorative cushions we can personalize and make the sofa or outdoor armchair, chairs or hammocks even more comfortable. For this reason, we propose these covers in a striking green color that will bring joy to the terrace. Also, if we have plants, they will blend with the vegetation to achieve a more natural space.

These covers measure 50x50 cm, the inner cushion is sold separately, they are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and the color stays as new for a long time because the fabric is colorfast.

If you like outdoor plants, but you have a small balcony or terrace, you can make a small vertical garden with this beautiful metal shelf from Ikea.

Measuring 61x160 cm, it remains stable even on uneven floors, thanks to the adjustable feet. The materials of this outdoor furniture do not require maintenance, and it is easy to clean with a damp cloth.

If we only have a small balcony or a not very large terrace, but we want a bit of vegetation, we can put this metal greenhouse suitable for outdoors. In addition to serving as a small planter, it is also a very beautiful decorative element that will add a touch of originality to your outdoor space.

It is perfect for putting herbs and climbing plants, suitable for use both indoors and outdoors, and made of galvanized steel.

If we have children and we want to offer them an exclusive space for them outside, we can buy this plastic table where they can play or eat outdoors.

A robust and light table that is prepared to withstand the cold, water and sun.

In addition to the table for the little ones, we can also buy these fun chairs that are available in many colors.

MAMMUT chairs are made of plastic, are resistant, durable and will perfectly withstand inclement weather.

Summer invites joy and color, so this tablecloth will be ideal for our meals on the terrace.

A model with an orange print, measuring 145x240 cm, and made of 100% polyester.

When we organize meals outside, especially if they are dinners, we usually opt for snacks. We prepare several elaborations and place them in the center of the table so that everyone can take what they want.

This two-tier tray made of bamboo and steel will be ideal for this type of dinner. In addition, to facilitate the service and add style to your table, it will save you useful space on the table thanks to its two levels.

We finish with an element that will totally change the image of our terrace or balcony and will offer a very beautiful Mediterranean style.

We are talking about this outdoor floor that has a traditional mosaic drawing that reminds us of houses from the 19th century.

The Mällsten porcelain floor resistant to the elements allows you to easily personalize your balcony or terrace. Since the parts fit together, you don't need any tools to assemble it.
