Your Mid-Summer Checklist: What Your Space Needs Right Now
We’re well into summer now. The garden’s in full use, the living room has become an evening escape, and the kids have somehow run out of things to do again.
Consider this your mid-summer reset. A few easy upgrades to make the most of the season, indoors and out, without rethinking the whole space.
1. Claim your outdoor spot
First things first, somewhere properly comfortable to enjoy the sunshine.
The Dolce Indoor/Outdoor Lounger is low, laid-back and made for doing very little, very well. Soft enough for indoor lounging, durable enough for the garden, and light enough to follow the sun when your favourite corner falls into shade.
Take out a book. Bring a cold drink. Forget both are there.
CHECKLIST TIP: Clear the afternoon. The lounger will handle the rest.
Have a look through our full outdoor collection to find your perfect summer spot.
2. Give gaming a better seat
Some summer evenings are made for the garden. Others are made for staying exactly where you are, controller in hand.
The Dalton Indoor/Outdoor Gaming Bean Bag is designed for long sessions and serious slouching. Use it indoors, take it outside while the evenings are still light, then move it back when the weather remembers it’s British.
Black not your thing? There are plenty more colours to play with.
CHECKLIST TIP: Much better than slowly disappearing into the corner of the sofa.

3. Make room for the kids
The school holidays bring long days, big imaginations and a suspicious amount of “I’m bored”.
The Kids XL Football Print Classic Bean Bag gives them a spot for reading, playing, building dens or recovering from all that running around. It’s roomy, playful and easy to move from the bedroom to the playroom, then back again when you’d quite like the floor back.
CHECKLIST TIP: Add books, toys or snacks. Peace and quiet not guaranteed.

4. Add the finishing touches
Sometimes a space doesn’t need a full refresh. It just needs a good cushion.
Our Sea Shell Print Indoor/Outdoor Cushions bring an easy coastal feel to sofas, loungers and garden benches. Available in two sizes, they’re simple to layer, easy to move around and summery.
CHECKLIST TIP: Mix both sizes for a look that feels styled, not staged.
FAQ's
Can outdoor bean bags stay outside?
Our outdoor bean bags are made with water-resistant fabric for garden use. We still recommend storing them somewhere dry and covered when they’re not in use to keep them looking their best for longer.
What happens if an outdoor bean bag gets wet?
A light shower is no drama. Wipe away any excess water and leave the bean bag to dry fully before covering or storing it away.
Can outdoor bean bags be used indoors?
Absolutely. Outdoor bean bags work just as well in living rooms, bedrooms and gaming corners, with the added bonus of durable, easy-to-clean fabric.
How do I keep my bean bag looking its best?
Wipe away spills as they happen, give the filling a shake every so often and reshape the cover to bring back that freshly fluffed feeling.
Do bean bags come with filling included?
Yes. Our bean bags arrive with the bead filling included, so there’s no separate filling hunt required.
Are kids’ bean bags easy to move?
Yes. Their lightweight design makes them easy to move between bedrooms, playrooms and wherever the next activity happens to be.
