Finally! It’s the time of year when we can extend our homes into our own piece of nature – our gardens – and surround ourselves with the sights, sounds, and smells of spring and summer.
And if you are not sure where to start, we have some points for you to consider when thinking about decorating your garden patio, or garden seating area.
- Colors you love. Think about the colours you like and how you can bring these into your garden with plants, flowers plant pots, furniture and fabrics.
- Shape of your garden. Think about the shape of your own garden and how you can maximise its potential with the sizes and shapes of items you put in it and how you arrange them.
- Mixing old and new. Have a look around at what you already have before buying anything new and thinking how it could be used or maybe improved? a stroke of paint or some upholstering maybe. Then you can add a few new pieces to give the space a real shine.
- What makes you feel relaxed. Really think about what makes you feel present and calm. Is it lighting, the sound of water? what kind of materials and textures make you feel grounded?
You can bring all this together with some inspiration to make your garden patio space perfect for yiou as well as look amazing.
