BALCONY GARDENS

Small garden spaces are getting a lot of attention at the moment with the focus very much on how to max up your living and growing potential. Even if you have next to no outdoor space you can use what you have to transform it into a haven for wildlife, a sanctuary for escaping busy city living, or a work station or exercise spot, as well as a productive planting place for flowers and grow your own fruit and vegetables.

GREEN  WALLS

Try creating a tiny urban forest to green up a small space and help biodiversity by including some vertical garden ideas in your space. They will naturally purify the air as well as attract wildlife.  Living wall systems are often sold as kits, and can be scaled up or down to suit your space and budget. Incredibly easy to construct, you can get them up and running in a weekend.

CURVES ARE EVERYTHING

Garden designers are embracing curves big time this year, especially in small gardens, where they give a softer, organic, more fluid shape to a garden. Curves create a comforting and relaxing vibe, helping to soften harsh lines created by traditional linear boundaries. Creating a curved garden within a small garden with straight boundaries completely disguises the original linear shape and makes a space so much more interesting.

OLD MEETS NEW

The more vintage the design the better if you want to show off your plants in a quirky way. There’s nothing like a paint project for releasing your creativity but remember preparation is everything.  The general rule for most garden wood is to clean it thoroughly with warm soapy water and a stiff brush, then rinse and let the surfaces dry completely.

OUTDOOR SHOWERS

How much do we love outdoor shower ideas? They are our dream garden accessory for cooling off during heatwave summers. From simple portable and wall-mounted styles to more luxurious enclosures, there are lots of different outdoor shower styles to choose from. Adding a wall-mounted shower to the exterior of your home means installation is straightforward too.

Botanical prints and murals are currently big in interiors, inviting the outside in as part of the trend for nature-inspired living. Now it’s time to reverse things and take the trend outside to enhance your garden decor ideas.

HARMONIZED STYLE

If you love a look that works in your living room why not take it outside? Choose a garden color scheme that complements your interior look and make a harmonious link to the garden by choosing fabrics and paint that match for a co-ordinated look. If you love the trend for dried grasses or hanging planters indoors, you can use them to style up your outside space too.

SUPERSIZED PLANTERS

Small urban gardens, terraces, balconies and roof gardens are about creating a relaxing outdoor space where you can linger among jungle-like planting for a real sense of escape. Make your container gardening ideas a defining feature of your space. When choosing pots, the bigger the better. Using big statement pots gives you a real focal point. Stick with simpler designs and use the same materials so they complement each other.
