Ideas to Give Your Garden an Exciting Makeover

Is your garden looking a little dull and tired? Do you wish it looked more like one of those magical gardens that you find at manor houses or in places you least expect? You can have the garden of your dreams – you just need to do a little careful planning! Here are some ideas you can use to get your garden makeover started – you’ll love them:

 

Create a Mini Fairy Garden

 

A mini fairy garden is a gorgeous addition to any garden, especially if you have kids. You can find inspiration online, but all you really have to do is use your imagination. Create a mini door at the base of a big tree, and then go from there. Add small pebbles as stepping stones, add mini mushrooms/toadstool ornaments, and even gnome ornaments. This looks really magical and the kids won’t leave it alone!

 

Paint Your Door

 

Your door may not be in the actual garden, but it can make a big difference to the overall look of the garden. By painting it a nice bright colour rather than a boring colour, you’ll make your garden look a happier place.

 

De-clutter

 

Get your hands dirty and declutter your whole garden. Get rid of weeds, old ornaments and animal toys, and anything else you can find.

 

Plant Gorgeous Flowers

 

Learn about different kinds of flowers and pick a few of your favourites to plant in the garden. Just beware that some flowers will only bloom at particular times of year, and some will need more attention than others. Make sure you choose flowers suited to your lifestyle.

 

Make a Comfortable Space to Enjoy the Garden

 

All gardens need a comfortable space to enjoy it in all of its glory. Adding outdoor blinds to your pergola is one way to make the space more practical. You could even create an outdoor living area with blinds to protect yourself from the sun!

 

Buy an Unusual Water Feature

 

Water features have the power to make a person feel totally relaxed in the garden. Listening to the trickle of a water feature is like meditation. Buy an unusual water feature to make a statement in your garden and ensure you feel relaxed. Allocate a budget to your water feature; would you like to keep it small with a bird bath, or go big with a pond? It totally depends on your budget, space, and time for maintenance.

 

Invest in Quirky Accessories

 

Quirky accessories make the world of difference to a garden. Use an old brass kettle with crystals hanging from the spout to create an accessory nobody has ever seen before. Instead of using a watering can to water your plants, grow some plants inside it. Use quirky little tea cups too. Express your personality in any way you see fit. You have so many options!
