Party or Evening Dining – Buy a Log Cabin

Planning a dinner party, or just a get-together with a few drinks and nibbles? When the weather is warm, it seems a shame to take everyone inside, but sometimes sitting out in the garden can be a bit chilly – or even dark!

Log cabins – Evening entertaining or Dinner party

Planning a dinner party, or just a get-together with a few drinks and nibbles? When the weather is warm, it seems a shame to take everyone inside, but sometimes sitting out in the garden can be a bit chilly – or even dark!

The ideal solution is to use your garden log cabin as an extra room. If you've opted for a terrace on your log cabin, you can gather everyone there, so they can relax and enjoy the view of your beautiful garden and the sun setting while they enjoy a few drinks.

Your garden log cabin also comes into its own for entertaining if you are short of room in the house. It may be that your living room is too small for entertaining, or that you have one big room, but it's been taken over by the kids. A garden log cabin allows you to take your guests away from the TV and Xbox 360 into the tranquil setting of your garden.

If you're having dinner, one of the advantages of the garden log cabin is that you can get the table laid and decorated earlier in the day, and for anyone with small children or pets, you know you can shut the door and your efforts won't have been laid to waste by the time the evening comes!

If you're keen on decorating for your special evenings, the garden log cabin is a perfect place as you're not restricted by your existing décor. So, you can go mad with fairy lights if you wish, decorate accordingly if you're holding a themed party, or even create a winter wonderland – whether it's at Christmas or in the middle of June!

Light up your log cabin

When it comes to lighting, solar lights are an easy solution. A solar-powered lighting kit can be up and working within the hour, and does not have to be installed by a qualified electrician. For a more atmospheric effect, you could hang solar-powered or low-voltage strings of lights around the walls – and for extra-special effect, use uplighters below architectural plants and garden features to create a wonderful view of the outside from inside.

As you are entertaining in the garden, bring the garden into your entertaining area. As a centrepiece on the table, half-fill a large glass bowl with water, then float large blooms, such as gerberas or sunflowers, depending on the time of year, along with floating candles.

And if you grow your own veg, do include it in your menu. There's nothing lovelier than eating fresh produce from the garden you're sitting in. You don't have to be the owner of a massive veg plot – you could serve strawberries grown in your hanging baskets, your own tomatoes, or even add nasturtiums to your salad.

Whether you're planning an intimate dinner party, a barbecue or a birhday party, your garden log cabin can provide you with an extra room where you and your guests can enjoy many special evenings.
