Houseology launch giveaway!

Have you heard that Occa-Home is changing? Houseology has been born and I am running a wondrous giveaway in celebration of the launch.

As well as creating a site filled with the most beautiful designer furniture, lighting and accessories for you to buy, Houseology wants to provide you with everything you need to make informed, stylish decisions for your home – because, let’s face it, not everyone finds it easy to style their home. They’ll bring you tools and technology to help you on your design journey as well as insightful articles, ‘how to’ guides, inspirational images, practical and informative videos, ideas and advice.

I’ve been perusing the brilliant ‘Buying Guides’ because at this time of year I’m always thinking about additions to our roof terrace. Using the advice in the ‘Outdoor Furniture Guide’ I have chosen five GORGEOUS pieces for your garden that will transform your outdoor space into an additional room that can be used all through the summer.

All you have to do to win your choice of one of my five favourite pieces (I WISH I could enter myself!) is complete the Rafflecopter at the bottom of this post and keep your fingers crossed!

1. Chimenea

The perfect addition to any outdoor space, especially in this country with our cool summer evenings. This wood or charcoal burning steel chimenea will help to turn your garden into an outdoor room. Isn’t it wonderful?

2. Bistro set of table and two chairs

This Garden Trading set of table and two chairs in a lovely clay colour is perfect for evening drinks on a terrace, balcony or patio. The simple French style is the perfect addition to any outdoor space.

3. Cacoon tent

This cacoon tent would be an amazing retreat in your garden for your kids this summer, adding an extra play-space to your home, filled with cushions and toys and easy to hang. The stylish design will look great in any outdoor space.

4. Rustic steel planters

I love this set of three vintage style Garden Trading planters. They will look beautiful planted up and add a rustic vibe to your garden or outside your front door. I would love these for my balcony.

5. Globe light

These are amazing! I want a pool full of them! An LED colour-changing globe light that measures 35cm in diameter, which can be placed indoors, outdoors or even floats on water. Taking the indoors outdoors never looked so good.

    The Cacoon Tent! How have I never seen one of those before?!
    It looks amazing and I’d love one.

    What beautiful garden treasures! I’d love the Chiminea, I’m just about to purchase my first ever home and I’ve always wanted one of these to adorn it with 🙂

    What a wonderful website! Been following you on Instagram but this is the first time I’ve looked at the site and it’s glorious!
    I’d love those planters

  5. Kelly
    8th June 2015 / 7:53 am

    The chimera would be an incredible addition to our garden. I also love the table and chairs though!

  6. 8th June 2015 / 8:10 am

    Love all these beautiful things and would be happy if I won the Chiminea to complete my garden makeover! Thanks for the lovely opportunity 🙂 x

    8th June 2015 / 8:22 am

    That globe light is awesome! Love that it changes colour and would look fab in my garden. Fingers crossed!

  8. Helen
    8th June 2015 / 8:25 am

    Beautiful garden accessories! Would absolutely adore the addition of a chimnea to our garden, we moved into our first home three weeks ago. This would be wonderful for summer evenings spent outdoors, recovering from stripping wallpaper and knocking through walls!

  9. Agnes Woolley
    8th June 2015 / 8:36 am

    That globe light would be perfect in my new garden!

  10. 8th June 2015 / 8:54 am

    My husband and I would love a chimnea in our garden for summer evenings. Such a beautiful elegant design of this one too. The planters are great too and would be handy for growing kale and garlic on our decking as short on bedding space!

  11. 8th June 2015 / 9:17 am

    Fab picks! I actually need that cocoon tent. I think I could pop Orla in and give her a push & she’d be asleep in minutes, leaving me free to laze in the sun. Please send urgently! 😀

  12. Louisa
    8th June 2015 / 9:53 am

    How can I pick just 1? I love the table and chairs set – would be perfect for out little courtyard balcony. Does it come with a pitcher of pimms? 🙂

  13. 8th June 2015 / 10:38 am

    what a fantastic giveaway, and love the site too. i think i’d choose the table and chairs as we don’t have any in the garden, and it would make it feel more homely out there. pretty sure the cat would love it too!

  14. 8th June 2015 / 11:57 am

    As you know, the Cacoon tent has my name all over it…

  15. 8th June 2015 / 12:26 pm

    love that tent! would be perfect for my three year old to play in! x

      Globe light would have to be my first choice. So pretty

  16. Alice Johnson

    Oh the Chimenea is lovely! I need something to spruce up my garden

  17. Anna Maria
    8th June 2015 / 4:31 pm

    I don’t mean to sound greedy, but I would love them all!
    We bought a new build a year ago, and our garden was non-existent – it was just mud. But we worked hard and now it is a proper garden, we have flowers, trees, bushes, even raised beds! But it is still a work in progress, which is why I’d want everything – though if I have to pick one, I’d go for chiminea.

  18. Sue Balston
    8th June 2015 / 5:32 pm

    If only we had warm, balmy summer evenings like in the Mediterranean. But we don’t! So, I could really do with the Chiminea x

  19. Emma Howes
    8th June 2015 / 6:35 pm

    Ooh I’d have the globe light though the chimnea and the tent are gorgeous too!

  20. 8th June 2015 / 8:10 pm

    I can’t decide! The tent…or the light maybe? All pretty good though!

  21. 8th June 2015 / 8:27 pm

    OOh I love the tent and the globe light!!

  22. 8th June 2015 / 8:53 pm

    That cocoon tent looks amazing! But I think out of all of them, I like the bistro table and chairs best.

  23. jane
    8th June 2015 / 9:18 pm

    Wow so hard to pick just one but probably the chimenea
    given the British climate

  24. 8th June 2015 / 10:44 pm

    I quite literally love everything here! Probably the chimenea.

  25. 9th June 2015 / 5:20 am

    The chiminea would be what I’d choose. I haven’t had one for years and they are brilliant when you have kids, as you can just move them out of the way if you don’t want them around.

  26. 9th June 2015 / 9:53 am

    Wow, these are really beautiful products. I especially love the chimenea! It would be a really functional and stylish addition to my garden…and mean we can use the patio til a bit later without freezing! lol

  28. Hannah
    9th June 2015 / 10:04 am

    I would definitely go for the planters. I’m desperate for some to go on our patio. Fingers crossed!

  29. Sara Goodman
    9th June 2015 / 10:29 am

    They are all fabulous, but I think if I had to (now I’m wishing!!) I’d choose the chimenea, as it would be a very attractive & useful addition to the garden. It would certainly encourage me to spend more time outside in the evenings 🙂

    Thanks for a really wonderful giveaway. xxx

  44. Paula Readings
    9th June 2015 / 2:27 pm

  45. 9th June 2015 / 2:49 pm

  53. Claire
    9th June 2015 / 5:05 pm

    Hard choice! Love them all but I really want a beautiful globe in my outside life and I shall have to keep warm so the stylish chimenea is a must!
    All of them are really tempting.

  54. Suzanne Drummond
    9th June 2015 / 5:52 pm

    Love the chiminea and the bistro set roll on the summer

  55. 9th June 2015 / 6:41 pm

    That cocoon tent is amazing, but as we don’t have a tree I’d have to go for the bistro set. It’s a close call between that and the vintage planters though!

    I love the Items you have on display. The globelight looks very interesting. I’ve never seen one of those. It would be perfect for the summer night sin my garden. The cacoon tent is on another level. I can picture myself reading a book, relaxing with a cup of coffee while soaking in the sun ‘weather permitting’.

    The selection of outdoor furniture wouldn’t just change my garden. It would help change my lifestyle. Good luck to the winner. What excellent prizes to give away 🙂

  84. Melanie Pennie

    I love them all, but I think the chimenea would get the most use! I can imagine it fired up as we sit on our patio with a bottle of wine or two as it’s starting to get dark.

    I will probably end up buying most of these anyway but if I could choose right now it would be the globe light closely followed by cocoon tent then the chimnea
