3 Tips to Elevate your Rear Garden for Spring

As we are at the beginning of spring already, you may be thinking your rear garden needs a little help after winter. Your patio furniture might need some sprucing up or you have moved into a new home this past season and need some fresh and new ideas. We have put together a few tips to help you elevate your rear garden this spring.

  1. Create zones in the rear garden. An important aspect of any open interior or exterior design is to create defined zones. A great way to do this in a rear garden is to use furniture, long planters, pergolas, and area rugs to distinguish between seating areas, dining areas, etc. These will help create an overall flow to the space and a purpose for each section. 
  1. Include many seating options. The rear garden is the perfect spot to entertain, especially as we head into spring and summer. An important thing to consider is ample seating for all your guests. If you have a smaller rear garden, incorporating benches with storage not only creates extra seating but also allows for practical and discrete organization. There are a variety of seating options to choose from, including lounge chairs, stools, and couches, each serving its purpose.
  1. Implement a focal point. Another way to elevate your rear garden is to focus your design on one specific item. Whether it is a gorgeous plant, outdoor fireplace, or a pool; choosing something that you want to be the centre of attention then allows you to choose colours and decor that compliments this piece. Each item working together creates a cohesive rear garden your guests are sure to rave about.

There are an endless number of options to elevate your rear garden to create the perfect atmosphere to enjoy all season. We hope that these few tips can help guide you in creating your outdoor oasis. Let us know what you end up doing with your rear garden this year!
