Your garden’s layout is one of the most important considerations to make when you come to gardening, redesigning, or just having a freshen up. Smaller gardens will need different layouts to larger ones, and shadier gardens will need different layouts to sun-soaked spaces. Here are a few practical ideas for your garden layout.
1. Create zones within your garden
Creating garden zones is a level of organisation that means you can focus on one area at a time. You might want a zone for your rattan garden furniture, keeping your outdoor living area separate from your planting zone, for example.
2. Position a simple bench outside your back door
Dining outside is great fun with family, but also with visitors. Positioning a bench or a small outdoor dining table just outside your back door means it’s easy for you to transition outside, often bringing food or drink to and from your kitchen.
3. Make use of corners
If you have lots of empty space around the corners or borders of your garden, make use of them so you’ve got more space for other bits and pieces in the main area. Corner sofa sets are great for popping in the corner of your garden to relax in, and you can even add benches or plants around the borders just to spruce the space up.
4. Create cosy garden areas
Making your garden feel like an outdoor home will make you more likely to keep it tidy and spend more time in it. Slot some Outback reclining chairs underneath your window for a romantic spot, or face your sofa furniture towards your house to create an outdoor living room you’ll love to spend time in.
