Outdoor living rooms a top garden trend for 2023
Although it can still feel decidedly wintry at this time of year, there are signs of spring and the warmer weather to come all around us. Daffodils are starting to brighten up our parks and gardens, crocuses and snowdrops have been out for a while and there are signs of new growth on the trees.
In Britain we can certainly be optimistic about the weather, but when we have a great summer it’s well worth spending as much time as possible outdoors.
Garden living rooms have grown in popularity in recent years and the Yorkshire Post recently identified this as one of the top garden trends for this year.
When they are well-designed, garden living rooms can act as the ideal extension for your home, whether you are using it to relax and unwind in the evening after work, or as additional space to allow you to entertain guests.
According to the news provider, one of the keys to getting this aesthetic right is to make sure you use outdoor furniture and accessories that compliments the interior design of your home. That way, you will create a space that blends seamlessly with the rest of your property.
Of course, there is no escaping the fact that the weather in the UK can be unpredictable, so we always recommend that garden rooms in Bournemouth are designed as spaces that can be opened up fully in the summer, but weatherproof and safely closed up in the winter.
If you opt for an enclosed summer house, perhaps with sliding or bifold doors along one side, you have the perfect balance of an enclosed space that you can cosy up in during the winter months and a room that you can blend with the rest of your home in the summer.
Other gardening trends for the year that you may want to incorporate into your garden room design project in Christchurch include sustainability and even vertical gardens – could one wall of your garden room be dedicated to a trellis or even a location for a hanging herb garden?
