Transform Your Garden Feature

Transform your garden with a few additions to your outdoor areas and extend the homeliness of your plot.

For those fortunate to have outside space, incorporating cosy furniture, a grill, some added privacy, or even a full-on entertainment system, can turn an inhospitable and basic backyard into a welcoming spot for relaxation and leisure.

Here are seven ways you can achieve the look:

Simple Seating

Just as you wouldn’t settle for an uncomfortable couch in your living room, apply the same logic to seating for your patio and decorate the space with simple yet comfortable seating that opens up the garden to mealtimes, social gatherings or just quiet chilling.

Choose resilient outdoor materials like ratan, eco-friendly teak and steel. These will withstand the sun and moisture, not to mention those wild outdoor temperature fluctuations as the year progresses.

P Is For Privacy

Wooden fences have long been a go-to for outdoor privacy, but there are more imaginative solutions to nullify nosy neighbours.

Consider living walls, which turn bland areas into distinctive gardens through the beauty of vegetation.

Alternatively, recycled pallet dividers present themselves as a budget-friendly choice; while, although more costly, boxwood hedges – which thrive in both sun and shade, and adapt to various soil conditions – provide an enduring alternative.

Light Up Your Lift

Festoon and fairy lights have always added a gentle glow to backyard environments.

Whether hung over a dining space, woven through tree limbs or strung across a trellis, these lights immediately improve an area with their twinkling, flowing glow, with their adaptability allowing for endless creative possibilities.

In addition, solar-powered models illuminate outdoor spaces after sunset without soaring electricity costs.

Transform Your Garden

You’re Fired

How about transforming an area of your garden into a versatile, all-season cooking area with the use of a fire pit? Pre-made units can cost as little as £100, either on stands or, better still, sunk into the ground, with the heat provided fostering social gatherings galore, and making them cosy even during cooler weather.

Projecting Promise

Enhance your garden glee by turning it into an open-air cinema. All it takes is a basic or mini-projector and a big screen (or white sheet if you are really looking to preserve budget). A good guideline is to match the screen size with the projector’s maximum image capability for crisp and vivid visuals.

Minimising Midges And More

While Tiki torches provide atmospheric and inexpensive light for your outdoor entertainment area and are commonly used to illuminate garden paths, flowerbeds and patios, they are also powerful insect repellents when filled with citronella oil.

There are a variety of modern styles available that are suited to contemporary spaces, though remember the flame size is dependent on the size of the wick, not the torch itself. You can also use muslin as a replacement wick.

Hot, Or What?

Finally, boosting your backyard doesn’t only mean adding grand, lavish constructions. Whoever knew a tub, a few bubbling jets and 500 gallons of hot water could be so much fun?!

Hot tubs can be integrated into swimming pools, recessed into decks, or simply placed standalone. And as the water in them can be controlled and set to warm temperatures, they remain a great all-year-round option.

Use these suggestions to transform your garden this summer.
