Mid-summer is arguably one of the best times of the year, but if your outdoor space isn’t up to scratch then your dreams of wiling away weekends on the perfect patio, or afternoons playing in the garden with the kids won’t look quite as you imagined. If you're thinking it’s too late to give your space the upgrade you imagined back in spring, think again, because the QVC sale is here to help.
One of our favourite secret shopping weapons, QVC is always worth a look, but with an up to 50% off seasonal sale, it’s definitely the place to be, especially when it comes to outdoor living. This year the brand’s been focused on creating spaces you genuinely want to spend time in, no matter how big or small.
We’ve gleefully perused the sale edit and picked out the 6 pieces you should be shopping right now in order to create the perfect outdoor space for the rest of your summer and beyond. But if your wishlist doesn’t quite stop there, there’s plenty more to love at QVC. From low-maintenance greenery to decorative touches that help set the mood, it’s full of clever pieces that can completely change the feel of your garden without the need for a full overhaul.
For instant atmosphere, solar lighting is a low-effort, high-impact update that can make even the smallest garden feel magical. We’ve spotted sets of LED solar stakes that can be dotted along pathways or planters to add a soft glow when the sun goes down, ideal for those long, lazy dinners that stretch into the evening.
If you’re working with a smaller space or want to create little zones within your garden, outdoor rugs are a styling trick we swear by and QVC’s selection includes easy-clean, weather-resistant designs in calming neutrals or subtle patterns that won’t overpower the rest of your setup.
Looking to dial up the zen? Water features have made a comeback this year, and with plug-and-play options that don’t require plumbing, it’s easier than you think.
For now, here’s our round up of what you should be shopping in the mid-season QVC sale to create your perfect garden oasis…
Our top picks
There’s something effortlessly charming about a classic bistro set, and this one (called a ‘Must buy’ in the reviews!) is a steal at 43% off. Perfect for smaller spaces like balconies or tucked-away patio corners, it has super-comfy padded seats, while the foldable design makes it a breeze to tuck away when not in use.
Mirrors aren’t just for interiors, they’re a clever garden styling trick, too. This wave-edged round mirror is ideal for brightening up a shaded corner or making a small courtyard feel that bit bigger and comes in both this pretty lilac and a cool mint green.
With its low profile and relaxed shape, this lounger is perfect for lazy afternoons in the sun. The classic stripe feels fresh and playful, while the weather-resistant finish means it’ll stand up to the elements. We’ve been into this chair since April, but with nearly half off, if you didn’t buy it then, now’s the perfect time.
Add a little life to your garden with this sculptural feeder, designed to attract feathered visitors while doubling as a decorative feature. The contemporary tangle-ball design makes it feel more like an art piece than a standard feeder.
Get yourself a rug that does it all. This design is both reversible and suitable for indoors and out - what more could you want?! Soften your space with either the mint green or pink version of this rug.
For effortless entertaining and lounging alike, this set is serious garden goals. With spacious, sofa-style seating and a coordinating table, it’s perfect for all your al fresco dining needs.
Explore the full range at QVC and give your space the seasonal glow-up it deserves, and remember that new customers can use code FIVE4U to get £5 off the first order, but hurry as the sale won’t last long!
