It may be damp and grey, but before we know it, spring will be here, and many of us will be counting down to summer holidays and long, lazy days in the sunshine. If you’re planning to make the most of your garden this year, you may be thinking about upgrades and updates. There are many ways to transform your space. If you’re looking for inspiration for game-changing additions or modifications, this guide is packed with ideas.
Pools and Tubs
There’s nothing like diving into a cool swimming pool on a hot day or soaking in a tub after a busy week at work. Pools and hot tubs add instant luxury to any garden, no matter where you are in the world or how much space you have. If you’re considering adding an outdoor bath, a hot tub, or a swimming pool, it’s wise to think about size, shape, cost, maintenance and design.
You can find out more about different types of pools, such as fibreglass pools, by contacting reputable local businesses, discussing your options and comparing quotes. You can also visit showrooms, browse online galleries and get ideas from places you’ve visited or seen in magazines or on TV. Hot tubs are easier and cheaper to manage and run than pools, but if you love to swim or you’re a fan of entertaining and you’ve got plenty of room, a swimming pool may be more appealing.
Garden Rooms, Summerhouses and Gazebos
Adding an outdoor structure to the garden has become increasingly popular, especially as many people now work from home. Garden rooms, summerhouses, cabins and gazebos not only add interest and visual appeal to outdoor areas, but they also create extra living space. You can also free up room inside if you’re designing a garden office or using a shed or cabin for storage. The range of structures and styles is expanding all the time, with options to suit all budgets. You can choose from cool contemporary buildings or features, or opt for more classic designs. If you don’t have space for a new garden room or summerhouse, you could consider a covered patio. This is ideal if you’re keen to enjoy a more versatile space or embrace outdoor/indoor living.
Outdoor Kitchens and Bars
Outdoor kitchens and bars add a touch of opulence to al fresco spaces while also enhancing functionality. If you enjoy planning gatherings and hosting friends and family members, or you’re a foodie and you love to try different types of cooking, you can explore additions such as barbeques, pizza ovens, outdoor ranges, fridges and sinks. Alternatively, if you want to party outdoors, you could set up a bar. You can choose from popular themes and trends like retro, modern, Art Deco and tropical, or design bespoke signage and accessories.
