Garden inspiration: how to make the most of your outside space
You should think of your garden as an extension of your living space, somewhere to spend quality time with friends and family while surrounded by the beauty of nature. With the right design and outdoor shading, you’ll be able to utilise this versatile space all year round instead of just a few months in the summer.
A louvered roof pergola is the perfect party spot
A stunning pergola with a tilting roof is not only a stunning addition to your home, but it’ll also provide you with a sheltered space in which to enjoy your garden. It’s the perfect spot to place garden furniture, a BBQ or even a hot tub so you can host the ultimate garden party in comfort and style. Add heaters and LED lighting and your parties can continue long after the sun has set.
Garden awnings offer flexible shade
If you don’t think you have the room for a permanent patio structure, an awning is a fantastic alternative to giving you a shady, sheltered area in your garden. Add automation to your Broadview garden awning and marvel at how you can open and close the system at just the touch of a button, ideal for when you’re relaxing in the sun.
Outdoor seating for quiet reflection
Seating in the garden encourages the whole family to venture outside and spend some time in pursuits away from a computer screen. When planning where to set up your seating area, think carefully about where it will make the most of your garden by considering the amount of sunlight that area gets, if you have lovely views you’d like to gaze at and how much shading and shelter you need.
Firepits are fun for all ages
Who doesn’t love wrapping up warm and toasting marshmallows over a real fire? By installing a fire pit in your garden you’ll be able to tuck into this sticky treat each and every night! Firepits really punch out the heat so even if marshmallows aren’t your thing, you’ll still be able to enjoy cosy nights under the stars.
Grow your own veggies
Imagine tucking into the freshest fruits, vegetables and herbs you’ve ever had – and ones you’ve grown yourself. Growing your own produce is a fun and rewarding hobby that the whole family can get involved with (and it encourages fussy eaters to try new foods). What’s more, you’ll be doing your bit for the environment too by cutting out emissions and packaging.
