Summer is right around the corner so time to get your garden or patio ready in time for when the hot weather arrives. We’ve got plenty of inspiration on how to get your outdoor area perfect for relaxing or entertaining in the sunshine.
There is nothing more enjoyable than having dinner outside with friends or family as the sun goes down after a hot day in London. Transform your outdoor space with a modern patio using large paving slabs as well as a decking area, which is slightly risen to create contrast between the two areas. This is the perfect way to create an outdoor haven for entertaining guests and having an al fresco dinner party this summer.
Although summer is due to arrive, we can never fully trust the great British weather. Having an outdoor space which is partially covered is a great option for when it's warm outside, but the chance of rain is high. We love this idea of a glass gazebo, which allows sun to shine through and open sides to feel the breeze, all while still having cover overhead. Even better, this outdoor kitchen is perfect for cooking and entertaining all year round – come rain or shine!
If you are someone who lacks space but is looking to transform their outdoor space, focusing on a corner in your garden is a great idea. Create a feature of your corner space by adding a pergola here, this will give you your own slice of serenity. The warmth of the sun can still be felt but you’ll get a little more protection from overhead coverage. Instead of usual wooden pergolas, this modern twist using a black steel frame and glass help to create a chic and contemporary feel to your London townhouse.
If you are struggling to add more rooms or space into your home, then building a summerhouse in the garden is a brilliant option for you. Forget the usual timber shed, instead switch for a state-of-the-art garden house. Modern aluminium panelling, subtle glass windows and colouring which matches the garden furniture, allows this ‘summerhouse’ to blend in perfectly. Use this as a home office to break away from the house, a gym for a little ‘you’ time or even a snug for friends, family, and kids to chill in during the summer months.
