How To Turn Your Garden Or Patio Into A Summer Paradise!

Almost summer! The season when most people prefer to be outdoors is just around the corner. How can you turn your garden or patio into a luxurious outdoor space where you can fully enjoy the long summer days? In this column, I will guide you through setting up  a beautiful outdoor area. Let’s get started!

Below is a sketch where I started from a square garden or patio. This shape offers many possibilities for a varied and inviting set-up.

To help you get started a luxurious outdoor area, I have a few tips here:  

Work with Heights

Creating different heights in your garden or on your patio can give a dynamic and interesting effect. Use raised flower beds, hanging planters, or even a raised patio section to add visual interest. This creates a layered look that suggests depth and space.

Create cozy corners

Dividing your outdoor space into different corners can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Think of a sitting area with comfortable lounge sofas, a dining area under a pergola, and a quiet reading corner with a comfortable sun lounger. By creating different zones, you make the space multifunctional and attractive for different activities.

Asymmetrical Layout for Rest

Although symmetry is often perceived as calming, an asymmetrical layout can actually provide a more natural and relaxed look. Place plants, furniture, and accessories in a way that is not too rigid and orderly. This creates a more fluid, organic space where you immediately feel at ease.

Comfortable seating and modern heating

Invest in high-quality, weather-resistant seating such as lounge sofas and chaise lounges. Modern patio heaters ensure that you can enjoy your outdoor space even on cooler evenings. They are both functional and stylish, adding a touch of luxury to your patio.

Green oasis and colourful accents

Large planters with lots of greenery and colorful flowers are essential for a luxurious garden. Choose neutral base colors and add pops of color with cushions and accessories. This creates a serene base with vibrant accents that brighten up the space.

Luxury extras: jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen

For the ultimate in luxury, consider adding a jacuzzi on your patio or garden. This offers relaxation and a touch of glamour. If you have more space, a swimming pool is a fantastic addition. Also, an outdoor kitchen in a covered area is perfect for year-round outdoor cooking and dining. Add heating elements so you can enjoy your luxurious outdoor space even in cooler weather.

With these tips, you can transform your garden or patio into a luxurious outdoor space where you can enjoy the entire summer. Whether you choose a serene oasis or a lively entertainment spot, the right combination of furniture, accessories, and greenery can make all the difference. Get started and turn your outdoor space into a summer paradise!
