5 Ways To Transform Your Outdoor Living Space This Winter

If you’re the kind of person who likes to talk about getting round to sorting out the garden, rather than actually doing it, this year is the time to make a change. There are so many benefits to having a beautiful outdoor space that it shouldn’t really take much convincing for you to dig out your gardening gloves and turn on the mower.  

This is a space where you can let your imagination and creativity run wild. In the garden, you’re not limited by the rules of form and function; you can create a space that is entirely aesthetic or you can combine practicality with visual appeal. This is the approach which most homeowners take and it is the best way to design an outdoor living space that is attractive, enjoyable, and sustainable.

These handy hints and tips for creating a gorgeous garden will help you find the right place to start the transformation.

1. Invest in Robust Outdoor Blinds

Outdoor blinds are a great option for homeowners who want to add a new dimension to their garden. These sturdy all weather coverings can be used in a wide variety of different ways. They are a popular addition to decking and patios, because they can be installed around the area to form a windproof and rainproof shelter. High quality Ziptrak blinds can be used to create a semi-permanent outdoor space, kind of like a rudimentary conservatory or extension.

2. Hire a Landscaping Service

The only way to guarantee that a new garden will add value to your home is to hand the task over to a professional landscaping team. While it is perfectly possible to overhaul an outdoor space alone – and many homeowners do – the work is tough and exhausting. It can become tempting to cut corners, in order to get the job done faster, and this will compromise the quality of the space. If you have the cash to splash, it is worth consulting the experts, even if you do later decide to go it alone.

3. Think About Comfy Seating

If you are keen to actually spend time in the garden, as well as admiring it, you need some comfy seating options. There are lots of viable options, but most homeowners opt for wood. It is tough, durable, and weather resistant, but it also offers a reasonably soft surface for sitting. Plus, you can always keep a stash of comfy cushions indoors, ready to be brought out to the garden when the sun makes an appearance.  

4. Highlight Existing Features

It isn’t always necessary to start from scratch when making improvements to an outdoor space. If you are lucky enough to have some interesting features already, work them into your new design. For instance, do you have a shady nook that could be transformed into a place for reading and cooling down on a hot day? Is there an old water feature that could be brought back to life? You shouldn’t be afraid to keep the bits that you like, because they will add personality and character.

5. Enjoy It As Often As You Can

The single best way to reinvigorate an outdoor space is to give it plenty of love. Of course, the more visually appealing it is, the easier this will be, which is why clever landscaping and design is important. Once you’ve got your garden looking lovely, it’s time to invite the gang round. Get your friends and family members over for a barbecue or an impromptu cocktail party. The possibilities are endless; with a beautiful garden, every day feels like summer.

What our customers say

Highly recommend All Weather Blinds! Very competitive prices, so easy to communicate with from the office staff who follows through with enquiries to installers. My outdoor blinds install was over a year ago and had a power outage. The blind would only stop 3/4 of the way down. They talked me through how to fix it over the phone, were so patient and in a few minutes it was fixed. Thanks for looking after your customers.
