The boundary between the living room and the patio is becoming increasingly blurred. From furniture to flooring, many of the things that look good indoors work just as well outdoors. With weatherproof garden furniture and decorations, the sky is literally the limit. All that’s needed is a well-planned patio. GARDENA has collected a few tips and tricks on how to make it work.
An extra spark of inspirationWhen planning a green haven of well-being, it’s worth picking a timeless style of living that will look good for years. This is where Scandinavian minimalism shines. As this design style demonstrates, functionality and aesthetics are a combination with staying power. Elegant simplicity is timeless and will look as good tomorrow as it does today. A good look at nature and your surroundings can help spark original ideas for a project; magazines and travel are also great sources of inspiration.
Nature: the best accessoryUse a mood board to help plan the space and choose furnishings. Gathering a collection of images, colours, photos and illustrations provides inspiration and can help create a coordinated final result. It’s important to ensure that any materials chosen are weatherproof. When choosing colours, it is advisable to coordinate accessories well with the surroundings. For example, decorative pillows can reflect and emphasise the colours or patterns of nearby plants. And remember, less is more: open spaces and fresh air are a large part of the out-door living room’s appeal.
It doesn’t take much…to add more variety to your living spaces. Versatile accessories like bright cushions for summer or a decorative sheepskin and a warm blanket for autumn can lend your out-door living room an appropriately seasonal character with minimal effort. Warm light sources like candles or fairy lights are high-lighting the atmosphere just right. The ClickUp! TorchFireplace, one of the five elements of the
Gardena ClickUp! System, is the perfect accessory for mild summer evenings, casting a warm, cosy light that illuminates the garden with a friendly glow.
