With a little creativity and some smart planning, you can transform your outdoor space into a place that you’ll never want to leave. In this blog, we’ll provide you with some easy and practical tips on how to upgrade your outdoor space this summer, so you can make the most of the beautiful weather and create a space that you’ll love spending time in. 

Build A Greenhouse or Cold Frame

Having a greenhouse can be a great addition to any garden, especially if you are a keen gardener! It allows you to extend your growing season, giving you the opportunity to grow plants and vegetables year-round. A greenhouse provides a controlled environment for your plants, protecting them from harsh weather conditions and pests. This means that you can create the ideal growing conditions for your plants, which can result in healthier crops. If you have a smaller space you can replace a greenhouse with a cold frame to fit into smaller areas. 

Acrylic and Polycarbonate are great materials for greenhouses or cold frame panels. Click here to shop.

Add Some Outdoor Mirrors

Outdoor mirrors have become a popular feature in many homes within the UK. Mirrors can create the illusion of a larger space, making a small garden feel bigger and more open. Mirrors can also reflect natural light into areas of the garden that may not receive direct sunlight, providing additional light for plants and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the space. Mirrors can be used strategically to create interesting reflections and perspectives, adding a unique and artistic touch to your garden. Finally, mirrors can be an effective way to create a sense of privacy by reflecting views of surrounding greenery or other attractive features, while also blocking unwanted views from neighboring properties. 

Premium External Aluminium Composite is the ideal material for outdoor mirrors as they are shatter-resistant with a high-quality mirror finish. Click here to shop.

Create Zones

Having separate zones in your garden can be a highly effective way to maximize the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space. By dividing your garden into different areas, you can create distinct zones for specific activities or functions, such as entertaining, relaxing, or gardening. This not only makes your garden more organized and efficient, but it also allows you to make the most of the available space. For example, you can create a seating area for entertaining guests, have a a quiet corner for reading and relaxation or just a space for growing your fruit and veggies. 

Clear sheet plastic is a great material to use to create separate zones in your outdoor space. You can use coloured PVC or Acrylic as wall panels or clear sheet materials for balustrades in your garden. 

Add A Pergola

Pergolas are a great addition to any garden. They create a focal point in the garden and can help define an outdoor area, creating an inviting and cosy atmosphere. It can also add a touch of elegance and style to your garden, making it a more visually appealing space. A pergola can also provide shade and protection from the sun, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space even on the hottest days of summer. Overall, adding a pergola to your garden can be a practical and stylish addition that can enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space.

Incorporate Some Colour

Having color in the garden can provide numerous benefits beyond just the aesthetic appeal. Firstly, it can improve your mood and reduce stress levels by creating a calming and serene environment. Colours such as blue and purple can have a soothing effect on the mind, while brighter colours like red and yellow can be energizing and uplifting. Secondly, colourful plants can attract beneficial insects like bees and butterflies, which can help pollinate your garden and keep it healthy. Additionally, having a variety of colours in your garden can create a more diverse and interesting landscape, enhancing the overall beauty and charm of your outdoor space.
