Bringing the inside out
Create another room to your property by bringing your interior design style out into your garden.
Garden design has evolved and become extremely popular. Gone are the days where the garden or terrace was an after thought. Houses are designed and renovated to take full advantage of the sun and utilise the section area, as is now the landscaping. People are thinking more creatively about how they use their exterior spaces, recognising the importance of kerb appeal and the value it can add to their property. Whether you own a lifestyle block or an apartment it doesn't matter the lines are being blurred between the interior design and the exterior spaces. People are expanding on the concept of indoor, outdoor flow creating outdoor spaces into extra living spaces, comfortable outdoor rooms with style and personality.
Whether it is scandi-sleek or modern rustic the interior concepts, materials, colours and textures are being translated into exterior designs. It could be as simple as using a mixture of plants to create different visual textures and laying them cleverly to create a relatively low-maintenance but highly dramatic outdoor space. By adding areas of concrete, paving or decking to define an area, which adds contrast and enhancing the design trend you are going for. For example, a modern rustic influenced garden may use recycled unique slabs of timber where as teak and pine may work well in a retro-relaxed style garden. You might introduce pops of colour like teals and mustard yellows into a scandi-sleek design, or contrasting and contemporary colours into a retro-relaxed style which will create a sense of drama. No matter how big your exterior space is you are only limited by your imagination. A vertical or multi-level garden are clever space-saving ideas for smaller spaces.
