Garden Bars
With most of us having spent the last year or so under restrictions or lockdown at home, garden bars have become the latest must-have trend. Many have built their own, but garden centres and online retailers have ready made gazebos and bars available for purchase.
If you have limited space or budget, then installing a bench or cabinet with a mini fridge can do the job just as well, and you are not limited to bookings or closing time!
Water Features
One of the all-time classic ways of improving your garden with a little bit of luxury, water features are a fabulous way to bring some serenity and peace to your outdoor space.
Widely available, you can purchase water features to suit all budgets and styles. From contemporary copper features to more traditional stone centrepieces and fountains, they are relatively easy to install and perfect for those looking to create a more tranquil, relaxing outdoor environment.
Pizza Ovens
We all know that barbecues have been the long reigning standard luxury item for British gardens. So, if you are looking to upgrade then why not consider adding a pizza oven?
Not only does it provide a focal point for entertaining and social events, but you have the added advantage of being able to enjoy the delights of stone-baked pizza. It can also double up as a heater during the cooler evenings.
Living Space
Turning your outdoor space into an extended living area is a key trend. By adding luxury garden furniture, many people are embracing “outdoor living” and blending both the indoor and the outdoor spaces.
Sofas and chairs are hugely popular way of creating a living area outside, with rattan and wood/wood effect furniture being high on everyone’s list. It is however important to choose the correct type of seating – especially in regard to the British weather! Adding throws and cushions can make it cosy and tables and soft lights can finish the transformation into the perfect luxury space to relax.
Fire Pits
Although Summers in Britain can be glorious, they very rarely keep the heat after the sun goes down. This makes fire pits and chimeneas a stylish way to keep warm after sunset, especially if you are entertaining. Combined with some comfortable outdoor furniture, the added luxury of warmth can make your outdoor space pleasurable and cosy, even during the colder summer evenings.
Landscaping
Having a luxury garden doesn’t necessarily mean adding expensive accessories, spending your budget on some decent landscaping can make a dramatic difference to the look and style of your garden. This doesn’t mean you have to hire a landscape gardener, planting some climbing plants can cover bleak or damaged walls and fences, and digging out borders and creating paths can give structure and definition. If you are wanting beautiful borders but don’t know the first thing about plants, then you can purchase wildflower seeds. Sprinkled liberally over raked and watered soil they can give a beautiful display with minimum effort.
Similarly, grasses are low maintenance hardy options, yet can look fabulous when arranged in pots or borders. Pick up some large rocks whilst out walking and you can even create a mini rockery with your grasses!
If you don’t have the space or the budget for any of the ideas mentioned above, there are still numerous ways to turn your garden into a luxurious space without spending a fortune.
Adding fairy lights or solar lights to your outdoor space can immediately transform your garden into a more welcoming, magical place. Edge hedgerows, borders and patios with free standing lamps or string fairy lights across doorways and fences for an immediate effect.
If you haven’t got much of a garden, or if you have a patio or decking, adding some greenery can make an enormous difference to the outdoor aesthetic. Evergreen shrubs such as cordylines are an excellent choice to keep your garden space looking beautiful all year round, and if your budget doesn’t stretch to ceramic or stone plant pots, plastic imitations are readily available online.
Upcycling any old furniture to put outside in the Summer is a cost-effective solution to expensive garden chairs. Before you throw it out, think about whether you could turn it into outdoor furniture or as an unusual planter. Not only will it give your outdoor space an unusual talking point, but you will also be helping the environment!
No matter how you decided to improve your garden, remember to make it a space tailored to your desires and requirements. It should be a place you want to spend time in.
