How to Design a Cosy Outdoor Living Space

Spring has well and truly sprung, and summer is lurking not too far around the corner. For many of us, that means the lines between indoor and outdoor living become blurred and we do what we can to enjoy the warmer temperatures and sunny spells.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to cost a fortune or take a lot of hard work or precious time to create a cosy outdoor living space to enjoy the brighter months. Whether you have a sprawling garden, a small balcony or just a bit of outdoor space to work with, we’ll show you how you can create your own summer haven for entertaining family and friends or enjoying quality time alone.

How do I start my Garden Transformation?

A clean slate, or at least a relatively decluttered one, is a useful way to start when thinking about creating your ideal outdoor space. This involves getting rid of any unwanted items and giving the area a deep clean to make sure it is ready for a makeover.

A good start can include steps such as:

• Deciding what exactly you want from the space and plan how to achieve it
• Conducting a spring clean to minimise clutter and make sure whatever is left will serve a useful purpose
• Reorganising existing items such as garden furniture sets and greenery to tie in with your idea of a cosy outdoor space
• Considering how best to combine indoor and outdoor spaces to create a natural cohesion between the two
• Upcycling existing garden features or purchasing new ones to give a fresh look and feel
• Determining where the best spots are for accessing sunshine and plan how to use it best, whether it’s positioning sun-loving plants or creating a space to entertain or relax

How Can I Best Combine Indoor and Outdoor Living?

More and more homeowners are searching for ways to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces to maximise access to natural light and enjoy warmer temperatures in comfort. This brings with it a range of benefits such as stress reduction, boosted energy levels, improved mood and a connection with nature.

Designing a space that combines the home comforts of indoor living with the benefits of the great outdoors can involve:

• Using architectural elements such as folding doors and sliding panels
• Encouraging an aesthetic cohesion between the two using similar colours, textures and materials
• Introducing technological elements such as app-controlled lighting and sound
• Embracing outdoor dining elements such as a barbecue, garden tables and outdoor kitchens
• Choosing garden furniture that combines comfort, style and functionality
