Is your garden in need of some major TLC? Well, luckily you’ve come to the right place as we’ve put together our top 6 garden renovation ideas for transforming your outdoor space from drab to fab. Let’s take a look at what’s made it onto the list.
Create An Outdoor Lounge Area
Comfort is key when making garden renovations that you know will make your outdoor space a whole lot more hospitable and inviting. Finding the best seating and soft furnishings is vital. Hanging Swing Seats are perfect for creating a relaxed vibe, whilst adding a fun visual dimension to your garden or patio area. Add those all important finishing touches with cushions and throws. IOL’s versatile range of Outdoor Cushions are made using season-proof fabric to ensure they are just as durable as they are stylish. You can choose from a wide range of colours and patterns to suit your individual style.
Create A Fire Pit Area
Who doesn’t enjoy a cosy evening gathered around a roaring fire underneath the stars? Creating a cosy fire pit area is one of our top garden renovation ideas for transforming your outdoor area into the perfect place for entertaining. For smaller patios, a stand alone fire pit such as the Kettler Universal Fire Pit is a great option for creating stylish warmth. If you’ve got a little more space, a Fire Pit Dining Table Set creates the ideal set up for entertaining. Featuring plenty of comfortable seating, the integrated fire pit enables you to enjoy some sophisticated al fresco dining.
Encourage Wildlife
There’s nothing quite like some beautiful wildlife to bring a garden to life. So when making your garden renovation, why not start encouraging birds and other wildlife to enter your outdoor living space? This can be done by adding decorative bird feeders and birdbaths that also look great, adding another visual element to your outdoor space. Growing a healthy mix of wildflowers and shrubs will also help to encourage wildlife, and you can also use this to add a splash of colour to your outdoor area making it a win-win!
Set The Scene With Lighting & Heating
Another one of our top garden renovation ideas is to create ambience with heating and lighting. Fairy lights are a quick fix for creating a magical atmosphere in your garden renovation, and adding heating will create a cosy vibe. For an authentic look, add the Kettler Copper Patio Lantern that features a modern cylindrical cage design and copper tinge. If you’re short on space when carrying out your garden renovation, overhead heating options such as The Kettler Copper Pendant Hanging Heater are perfect.
Create A Mini Vegetable Garden
Got a patch of garden that’s not doing anything? Why not put it to good use by transforming it into a mini vegetable garden? This garden renovation idea will transform the look of the area whilst providing you with some delicious, fresh produce to enjoy. There are loads of simple ways to create your very own veg patch. One of our favourite tricks is to grow vegetables in plant pots – you can choose some gorgeous, decorative pots to complete the look and it’s a great garden renovation hack for saving on space.
Freshen Up Your Garden Furniture
Choosing the best furniture to freshen up a space is a key part of any garden renovation. So, if you’ve got a few pieces of furniture that are looking a bit worse for wear, now’s the time to switch it up. You can recycle many pieces of unwanted furniture or upcycle them to turn them into something new. Investing in a couple of new pieces of stylish rattan or aluminium furniture will completely lift your outdoor space, whilst providing you with some comfortable seating and elegant dining experiences.
