Styling your garden is just as important as styling your house these days. You can make a huge impression by designing something that looks great and complements your interior design perfectly. Think about ways in which you can make changes to your existing garden decor to give it a little revamp or to potentially design your garden from scratch.
Think about the kind of design that you want to create. The best way, to do this, is to simply pick up a pen and paper and draw it. You don’t have to be a brilliant artist to roughly plan the ideas that you have for your garden.
Think about how you want to use your garden. Do you have children? If so, will you create a kid friendly play area? Giving the kids somewhere stylish and fun to play will keep them entertained and ensure that you have the most luxurious looking child-friendly home on the block. Your family can spend lots of outdoors time together and see the benefits from their efforts.
Would you prefer your design to be all about relaxation and luxury? If so, you might want to consider creating a little corner of the garden to use as a meditation area or somewhere to lay the sunbed. Buy some cool gold painted buddhas and pretty fairy lights to create a look that is versatile for both daytime and evening use. Solar powered lights are great to place in areas with plenty of sun.
Plan the type of outdoor garden furniture that you want to include in your designs. Are you aiming for modern chic or rustic and traditional? For a modern and chic design, you could use large, sturdy furniture and opulent glass dining tables to add that ‘wow’ factor to your design. If you are aiming for something a little more rustic, you could think about patio heaters or wood burners and simplistic rattan furniture.
Some people might prefer to focus on a more versatile garden space that allows for more gardening and growing your own produce. You could create a garden with a huge vegetable patch dug out. Set yourself up a mini shed and run a hose pipe out there.You can buy stylish and secure compost bins to ensure that you’re completely green in your plans and design. You could even buy a BBQ or a wood oven and set up your own cooking area outside. This would allow you to pick your own fresh ingredients and cook them straight away with ease. You could create a unique and eye-catching design by using old tree stumps or driftwood as outdoor seating or tables.
Keen conservationists may want to build their own pond area to attract wildlife. You can easily attract frogs, toads, butterflies and dragonflies simply by creating a small pond area with plenty of plants and a rockery. This will not only looks stunning, but is also beneficial to the environment. It is a great way to teach kids about nature as well!
