Hello World! Welcome Friends! If your garden is starting to feel neglected and it doesn’t offer what you need it to in terms of livability, now is the time to make some changes. There’s still time to turn things around and make your outdoor space a whole lot more livable in time for the best days of summer. Here are some of the ideas you can implement if you want to create a usable and functional outdoor living space.
Add Some Privacy
In order to create a livable space, it needs to be private. It’s hard to relax and enjoy a space when you’re not able to enjoy privacy when you’re relaxing. Having other people be able to see over into your garden is never ideal. Planting new taller hedges might be the fix you’re looking for if you want to create some privacy.
Improve the Garden Furniture
The furniture that you have at your disposal in the garden is just as important as the furniture in your home, and you shouldn’t forget about that. So think about how you might improve the furniture options. After all, if the furniture isn’t appealing or comfortable to use, you’re going to find it less appealing to actually make use of it. Invest in the kind of furniture you’ll want to make use of during the summer.
Consider a Central Firepit
If you want to also make your garden more functional and livable during the winter months and long evenings, it might be a good idea to build a central firepit. This is something that the rest of the seating in the garden can be structured around. That way, when it’s cold, you can enjoy the fire and maybe toast some marshmallows over the flames.
Build a Pergola for Sun Coverage
If you want to spend a lot of time out in your garden during the summer months, it makes sense to think about sun protection and shade. You won’t want to sit in direct sunlight on the hottest days of the year, so a pergola can offer you some of the protection you’re looking for. You can find wood pergola kits that make it easy to install your own. And they also act as a centerpiece of your garden.
Ensure There’s a Place to Eat Together
Finally, you should ensure you have a good dining space where you can eat together with friends and family and socialize. That’s what having a livable garden is all about. You could create a dining space beneath your pergola or locate it somewhere else. It all depends on your garden and the layout it has. Without a high-quality dining space, your garden will never be truly livable.
So if you’ve been feeling as if your garden space is not nearly as livable as it should be, it’s probably time to change that. Make use of the various ideas above and turn the garden into a space where you enjoy spending time with your friends and family during the summer months.
