1. Creating a summer sanctuary
Elevating your Outdoor Space (for garden brands)
Once the summer season gets into full swing in June and the weather trends warmer and drier (hopefully, if you’re in the UK!), the garden becomes a main attraction for homeowners. Key aims for people’s gardens are enjoying the lush, dense summer foliage and being able to relax and get away from work or rushing around.
In your blog content, make sure to provide tips for your garden brand audience on maximising outdoor spaces with lush greenery, cosy seating areas, and vibrant blooms to evoke a sense of tranquility and escape. Don’t forget to be multi-sensory, so include suggestions of summer scents to add to help you unwind; lavender, camomile jasmine, sounds like water and swishing grasses.
Sound and scent are incredible evocative so worth building into garden brand blogs to appeal to readers.

Use your blog posts to show that you understand the world of your ideal interior design clients or brands in the interior space.
