7 Tips for Maximising Your Outdoor Living Space
Create zones: Divide your outdoor space into separate zones for lounging, dining, and entertaining. Each area can serve a specific function, allowing you to use your space more effectively. These zones can be created with changing material textures, colours and styles.
Add lighting: Outdoor lighting can create a warm and inviting atmosphere while also making your space more functional after dark. Installing spot lights highlight features and planting, where as string lights, fairy lights or even a chandelier to create a cozy ambiance.
Choose comfortable furniture: Invest in comfortable outdoor furniture to create a welcoming space for you and your guests to relax in. Avoid built in seating as ergonomically they tend to be uncomfortable.
Lush planting: Plants not only add beauty to your outdoor space but can also help create privacy, shade and attract wildlife. Create deep lush borders full of plants to soften any hard landscaping and create an oasis. Planting doesn’t need to be limited to borders, consider adding potted plants, hanging baskets, or even a vertical garden to your outdoor living area.
Install an outdoor kitchen: If you love to cook and entertain, consider installing an outdoor kitchen. These can be elaborate with a grill, sink, fridge and worktops. We recommend you have worktops so your can prepare and serve meals outdoors, a place to put your salads and drink, leaving your dining table uncluttered. It also creates a social space to keep your guests entertained while you cook.
Add water features: The sound of flowing water can create a calming and serene atmosphere in your outdoor living space. Consider adding a small pond, fountain, or even a waterfall to your oasis.
Don't forget the little things: Accessories like outdoor rugs, throw pillows, and table settings can add the finishing touches to your outdoor living area. Choose items that complement your personal style, the latest trends and create a cohesive look for your space.
