16 garden design ideas to make the best of your outdoor space

These garden design ideas are key to creating a scheme you’ll love for years to come. Whether you’re looking for garden landscaping ideas to overhaul your outdoor space, or more tailored garden design inspiration such as garden furniture, paving, lights, plants, borders, decking and more, we’ve compiled some fabulous garden ideas to help you transform your back garden, whether it’s big or small – and it’ll help to boost your property value, too.

But before you proceed with any redesigns or updates, take a look at your garden as a whole, says Andrew Kyte at The Chelsea Gardener: ‘Find out as much as you can about the garden’s position, direction and outlook. Not only will this affect planting, it can dictate how you use your space.’

You're reading: 16 garden design ideas to make the best of your outdoor space

Whether it’s a small garden, long and narrow garden, cottage garden or courtyard garden, you should observe where and at what times of day different parts of the garden gets light and sun. Think about access and what you want to use your garden for – planting and growing veg, sunbathing, eating alfresco or simply sitting down to enjoy a cup of tea on a sunny morning?

House Beautiful/Mark Scott

Answer these questions and you’ll have a clear idea of exactly how you want your garden to work for you. We hope these garden ideas will give you some inspiration…

1. Get your lawn into shape

Look out of your window at your garden and the biggest shape you’ll probably see is your lawn. If it’s a good, strong shape, it will set the entire garden on the right track. And remember, it doesn’t have to be a rectangle – try an oval, circle, square or oblong shape.

You’ll need the right tools to complete the job. The experts at price comparison service, PriceRunner, has revealed a rise in searches for nifty robotic lawn mowers (126 per cent) and ride-on mowers (182 per cent) since the pandemic, with the Flymo Easi Glide 300 Electric Mower being the best selling lawn mower this year (April 2021).

For ongoing lawn care and maintenance, Stuart Thomas, gardening expert at online garden centre Primrose, advises: ‘If your lawn is looking lacklustre, consider the three tenets of sunshine, showers and soil aeration. Cut branches back to keep excessive shade away. Water once a week early in the morning if the UK’s frequent rain isn’t cutting it. For aeration, take a fork to your lawn and poke heaps of holes. Do all of these and your lawn will be verdant before you know it. And don’t mow it too short!’

2. Plan your planting

The best garden designs start with structural plants infilled with pretty, flowering plants. So use evergreen shrubs at the end of each border and as punctuation along the way. Include small shrubs such as box balls, or large evergreens, for example mahonia, for bigger areas.

Once you have this frame, fill the gaps with pretty flowering plants. Try to stick to just five or six different types and arrange them in repeated patterns for a coordinated and harmonious effect. A metre or more in depth is a perfect size for a border, giving you enough space to put smaller plants at the front with taller ones behind.

In this calm planting scheme, tall grasses combine with a riot of colourful pink and purple blooms. (RHS Hampton 2018: Secured by Design, designed by Lucy Glover and Jacqueline Poll).

Remember, narrow, low-planted beds can define seating or dining areas, as can lines of planted-up troughs – choose evergreen scented plants, such as lavender or Mexican orange blossom. Containers offer the most flexibility though, allowing you to move them around however suits. ‘Creeping rosemary is a great plant for edging in containers, as it trails rather than growing upright, is evergreen and covered in blue flowers in spring,’ says Tony Woods, managing director of garden design company Garden Club London.

If you don’t have room for metre-deep beds, you could place climbers at the back of the border so you can still get height in the planting. In terms of climbing plants, opt for an evergreen like clematis, which provides a beautiful and colourful display.

Tony Woods recommends star jasmine for seating areas: ‘It’s very well-behaved, produces masses of white, waxy, scented flowers throughout the summer and reacts well to being cut back, so is ideal for positioning behind a seating area where you don’t want plants hanging over and can enjoy the scent.’

When you’re choosing flowering plants, try to make some of them ‘out of season’ performers so you have some year-round colour, or put in spring and early summer bulbs to get the garden off to a great start.

Concerned about the environmental impact of your garden? If you’re looking for ways to make it more sustainable, The Samphire Garden by Sue Townsend demonstrates how you can create a garden that benefits the planet and is still bursting with texture and visual interest.

Set amongst paving of locally reclaimed York Stone, the coastal garden in Suffolk uses a rich palette of drought-tolerant planting, including native seaside plants, grasses and Mediterranean shrubs surrounded by a stone mulch in different sizes. Plants include verbena bonariensis, eryngiums, euphorbias, lavender, achillea, ballota, miscanthus nepalensis, pennisetum, verbena and thymus. Ensure you use permeable surfaces to allow water to be released naturally into the ground.

3. Trees

Mature trees can be a starting point for building a scheme. They block the glare of the sun and can also be used as an anchor for shade sails, a hammock, pendant lights or hanging decorations.

Trees can also screen an unattractive view or help to filter noise and air pollution if you live near a busy road. And they benefit nature significantly, providing pollen for insects and shelter for birds, and converting airborne carbon dioxide into oxygen.

In fact, a growing trend is multi-stem trees – planting these can create an architectural showpiece, with the elegant canopies lending themselves to layered underplanting or, if planted exclusively, creating a striking structural statement. As seen below in this modern Suffolk garden by Caitlin McLauglin, multi-stem trees and soft planting creates a deconstructed woodland environment in a front courtyard garden.

‘Trees are fantastic as a habitat and food source for wildlife and as a source of carbon capture. They also give structure and architecture to a garden,’ says Sarah Squire, Chair of Squire’s Garden Centres. ‘There are trees for every size and shape of garden, from a small acer in a pot on a balcony or a gorgeous flowering cherry in a back garden, to birch, whitebeam and hornbeam (my personal favourite) for larger spaces.’

4. Beautiful paving

The colour and style of your paving and the way it is laid can provide a strong design direction for the entire garden. For instance, grey or white stone laid in a random pattern will set the scene for a French country look; black or silver paving organised in a regular design will form the perfect backdrop to a sleek and modern scheme; while golden stone arranged in a mixed pattern creates an English country feel.

Need some inspiration? Butter Wakefield created an elaborate paving design of 10 interlinking circles in her Ribbon Wheel garden, each one different in design and size and connected to one another by a ‘ribbon’ of York cobblestones. The circles, created from a combination of limestone and York stone are laid in a mix of setts and cobbles creating a stunning effect.

If you want to create the garden of your dreams, attention to detail is everything. Create a beautiful scheme by coordinating your plants with your choice of paving. For example:

Grey or white stone looks great with purple and white blooms

Black and silver paving looks amazing with strong colours such as red, orange and yellow

Golden paving works with flowers that have soft tones – pink, lavender, and chalky yellow.

Michael John McGarr, director and garden designer at Warnes McGarr & Co, suggests: ‘Rather than jet washing the old worn paving, think about something new and exciting like large-format porcelain paving. Porcelain absorbs no water so requires less cleaning than traditional type of paving meaning less pressure washing and much less hard work when multiplied over future years.’

Perfect for patios, terraces and courtyards, this glazed porcelain tile perfectly captures the look, texture and tonal variations seen on real slate, creating a truly authentic look and feel. The richer rusty tones offset beautifully against the darker natural colours, bringing warmth and character to the surfaces of your garden.

Regardless, it’s a good idea to create a flow of movement from your property into the garden. ‘By ensuring your paving is the same level as your indoor flooring, you can blur the lines between the interior and the exterior of the property,’ adds Michael.

5. Distinct levels

Is your garden on different levels? If you don’t like the idea of incorporating stone steps, you can achieve a seamless look with your existing lawn, for example, by enabling the flow from one space to the next. As seen in the below photo, garden designer Helen Elks-Smith used grass treads, integrating them into the existing lawn to connect the lower patio to the small sun terrace above.

Looking for decking ideas? If you have an uneven or sloping garden, decking is an ideal and cost-effective option for levelling it out. Decking can also have split levels and include steps, making it the ideal space for dining furniture, and due to its use, a decked garden area typically needs to withstand heavy foot traffic.

Environmentally friendly, anti-slip and maintenance-free, Millboard’s composite decking boards are an innovative mix of polyurethane and a mineral blend, offering the beauty and versatility of natural wood without the maintenance. This wood-free decking has a non porous outer layer, so it essentially self-cleans so the rain will do the hard work.

6. The furniture

For smaller courtyards and patios, go for folding furniture, or bench seating that can be tucked under a dining table when not in use. L-shaped sofas can be surprisingly compact, while larger spaces can take full-on seating sets, with matching chairs, sofas and tables, sun loungers and day beds, or on-trend hanging egg chairs or swing seats.

Invest in a good garden furniture set that will last for years to come. Consider the space and allow enough room for each person to be able to sit comfortably and pull out their chair without bumping into anything. And remember, you’ll also need room to walk around the table with everyone seated. It takes up much more space than you might think!

According to Claire Belderbos, director of garden landscaping specialists, Belderbos Landscapes, ‘a dining table works best in the area of the garden that has early afternoon full or partial sun. Put a smaller seating area where you can enjoy the evening sun’.

If, for example, you can’t move your three-piece set indoors over winter, buy furniture covers to protect and extend its life. And whatever garden furniture you buy, don’t forget to accessorise with outdoor cushions for extra comfort.

And let’s not forget other garden must-haves, including fire pits and chimineas, patio heaters, barbecues and pizza ovens – planning space for these is key, as is where they will be stored or protected once it’s winter.

7. Pay attention to your boundaries

In a small garden, boundary walls, fences or hedges may be the biggest element in view, so it’s really important for them to look good. They don’t have to all be the same but try to provide visual links between them. You could have the same type of fence, for instance, and grow climbers up them in in coordinating colours. If you aren’t able to change the fences, whitewash them or clad them with battens or trellis. Check with your neighbours first to establish whose fence it is and ask permission before doing any work.

The materials you choose are key, too. For example, timber posts don’t have to be confined to fencing a garden off from the neighbours. Carefully positioned within a garden, they can be used to frame plants or seating areas and add extra interest to borders or paths.

A really inventive use can be seen in the NHS 70 Garden for Addenbrooke’s Hospital by garden landscape company Bowles & Wyer. They used reclaimed oak posts to frame the view along a meandering path at its centre, positioning them at different heights and angles so that new aspects of the space open up to visitors as they make their way through.

8. Screening and zoning

You should also think about screening areas of your garden to create separate ‘rooms’. Introduce hard landscaping in the form of pergolas or fences, or through plants. ‘You can’t go wrong with hardy rose bushes or tall bamboo,’ suggests Jon Holloway, founder of Garden Trading. Alternatively, try a line-up of potted trees.

If space is limited, consider zoning areas of your garden, although this is a good idea for every garden shape and size. ‘The garden is definitely an extension of the kitchen and living space,’ says Vicky Angell, outdoor living buyer for John Lewis & Partners. ‘In part, this is because our homes are, on average, smaller than ever, so we’re looking to the outdoors for space to entertain and relax.’

9. Accessorise the fifth room

Think about how you can turn your outdoor space into a relaxing sanctuary with cosy garden decor and tactile furnishings. Essentially you want to create a living room look, it’s just outdoors rather than inside, so bear this in mind when on the hunt for decor and accessories.

For example, you could invest in an outdoor rug (Cuckooland sell a great selection of Fab Hab rugs made from recycled plastic) along with chunky knit throws, lanterns, and outdoor cushions for an inviting and snug feel. Reflect light around your chosen spot with a garden mirror; invest in a waterproof speaker; choose citronella candles to keep bugs at bay; keep warm in the evenings with a patio heater, and last but certainly not least, dot smaller potted plants around the space, much as you would with houseplants.

10. Integrate your ornaments

The most important rule with garden ornaments is to nestle them in with the planting. Choose wisely as an ornament or water feature (although it’s great for wildlife) that’s plonked in the centre of an empty space is unlikely to look good. If it’s too small it will look lost and something too big will overwhelm the space; the latter has also been known to devalue your home, so it’s something to bear in mind when it’s time to sell.

If you like the idea of hearing the trickle of running water in your garden but don’t want a fountain, try a simple stone trough and water spout like the one incorporated into Butter Wakefield’s Ribbon Wheel garden (below). The antique trough is designed with wall panels hanging above it, incorporating antiqued mirrors to reflect the garden beyond and painted a dark grey to set off the green of the surrounding plants.

11. Install a garden room

A garden room is a great way to maximise and extend your space whether you want a home office or a yoga studio, and planning permission is not usually required. Whether it’s a large shed or summerhouse, it can be the perfect space for entertaining guests over summer, and can even be used as additional accommodation for guests. Think about ways to make your garden more than just an outdoor area to eat, drink and soak up the sunshine.

12. Living walls

Living walls are becoming more popular in garden designs, providing a great way to embrace vertical planting and create maximum drama in your outdoor space. You can position a living wall anywhere, just remember to choose the right plants for that part of the garden, just as you would with a border. There are plenty of green wall kits and living wall planters available too, so shop around to find one that best suits your space.

You can also invest in high impact living wall systems, which varies in cost depending on how complex you want it, to fill large expanses of wall.

John Davies incorporated hydroponic walls into the roof and basement gardens of this office building in London. A mix of flowering shrubs and perennials, such as buddleia and fuschia, complements the evergreen planting framework and creates a year-round effect with seasonal colour.

Alternatively, using your garden walls for planting – whether it’s with a trellis or containers – is a great way to create an instant living wall. Using climbing plants and wall shrubs such as clematis, roses, honeysuckle or wisteria, will add a vertical element to your outside space.

13. Don’t forget the lights

Speaking of lighting, don’t underestimate how important it is to create atmosphere in your garden. In exactly the same way that you layer up indoor lighting, do the same for garden lighting and choose a variety of sources (Lights4Fun stock a great range), including fairy lights, festoon lights, wall lights, freestanding lamps and ground lights etc. ‘Outdoor lights and a fire pit mean that you can continue to enjoy your space even when the sun sets or if the weather isn’t quite what you hoped,’ says Jon Holloway.

Whether it’s fairy lights or lanterns dotted along a garden path (Lights4Fun stock a great range), the lights you choose will bring character, ambience and atmosphere to your space – and it’s essential for dining alfresco well into the evening.

14. Small space solutions

Vertical planting is key. Make use of fences and walls by planting upwards to maximise space and buy hanging baskets (these are great for front gardens too). In terms of paving, switch to gravel; it’s much more affordable. The most important thing to remember is that just because you have a small garden, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it and make the most of it. There are some great space-saving, foldable or stackable table and chair sets that are perfect for compact spaces – invest in a garden bistro set for style and functionality and deck chairs for easy, instant seating.

15. A family garden

Get smart with landscaping to utilise space in a family garden to make it work for everyone. For example, Adolfo Harrison created a hidden playground in this garden in east London, weaving elements of play throughout the design so that both children and adults can enjoy the space.

Monkey bars form a pergola to which swings and slides can be attached, boulder stepping stones are laid out to enable children to jump from one to the other along the length of the garden, and two moon benches provide a snug place where they can sit, set within a living wall to create a playful face. Mirrors are used to make the space feel bigger and a ‘ceiling’ created by the canopy of long-stemmed bamboos focus attention within the space and create a more intimate atmosphere.

Kids love going out in the garden for some playtime but zoning an area is key, as small family gardens can often be dominated by play equipment, leaving little room for anything else. While you would need to have a large garden to install a slide or playhouse, for more restricted spaces, sand tables or mud kitchen play sets in a corner will work great, and it will entertain kids for hours.

16. Don’t forget wildlife

Always consider the impact your garden design has on wildlife. For example, do your best to help bees by planting bee-friendly plants, speak to your neighbours about creating a hedgehog highway, and buy some bird feeders to hang on fences or from tree branches. Bee hotels, wildlife ponds, log piles, plants for pollinators and compost heaps will continue to increase in popularity.

CHOOSING THE PERFECT PORCELAIN TILES FOR YOUR HOME

Porcelain tiles are a popular choice for homeowners due to their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. Whether you’re renovating your kitchen, bathroom, or living room, selecting the right porcelain tiles can transform the look and feel of your space. At Tiles For Ever, we understand the significance of making informed decisions when it comes to tile selection. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of choosing the perfect porcelain tiles for your home, ensuring that you create a beautiful and functional space that reflects your personal style.

Durability: One of the key advantages of porcelain tiles is their exceptional durability. They are highly resistant to scratches, stains, moisture, and heavy foot traffic, making them suitable for various areas of your home.

Tile Size and Layout: The size and layout of your tiles can significantly impact the overall aesthetic of your space. Larger tiles create a seamless and contemporary look, while smaller tiles offer intricate patterns and designs. Consider the size of your room and the desired effect you want to achieve. Additionally, experiment with different tile layouts, such as herringbone or diagonal patterns, to add visual interest and uniqueness to your space.

Color and Finish: Porcelain tiles come in a wide range of colors and finishes, allowing you to create various design styles. Lighter colors can make a room appear larger and brighter, while darker hues add depth and sophistication. Consider the existing color palette of your space and choose tiles that complement or contrast with it. Additionally, select the desired finish, such as matte, polished, or textured, based on the desired look and practicality. Textured finishes provide better slip resistance, making them suitable for bathrooms and outdoor areas.

Water and Moisture Resistance: Porcelain tiles are an excellent choice for moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms and kitchens due to their water resistance. Look for tiles with low water absorption rates to prevent damage and mold growth. Furthermore, consider slip resistance in areas exposed to water, ensuring the tiles provide a safe and secure surface.

Maintenance and Cleaning: Ease of maintenance is an important factor when selecting porcelain tiles. Choose tiles that are easy to clean and require minimal upkeep. Porcelain tiles are generally low maintenance, requiring regular sweeping and occasional mopping. Ensure that the tiles are stain-resistant, especially in high-traffic areas or spaces where spills are more likely to occur.

Choosing the perfect porcelain tiles for your home involves considering several crucial factors such as durability, size, color, water resistance, and maintenance requirements. At Tiles For Ever, we offer a wide selection of high-quality porcelain tiles that cater to various design preferences and practical needs. Our expert team is dedicated to helping you find the ideal tiles that align with your vision and transform your home into a stylish and functional space. Trust us to be your partner in creating a space that you’ll love for years to come.

EXPLORING THE BEAUTY OF PORCELAIN KITCHEN TILES FOR YOUR HOME

A kitchen floor is one of a home’s busiest and most demanding surfaces. When it comes to high-pressure areas like the kitchen, how does porcelain tile compare to other flooring options? Not only does it need to withstand constant foot traffic, but it also requires easy cleaning and the ability to maintain a germ-free environment.

If you’re considering porcelain tiles for your kitchen floor, allow us to present you with seven compelling reasons to choose this versatile tile option.

Elegant Durability And Longevity :- When it comes to longevity, porcelain tiles surpass ordinary ceramic tiles. Their superior toughness is a result of being fired at a higher temperature, making them more resilient. The exceptional density of porcelain tiles enhances their water-resistant properties. This combination of strength, durability, and moisture-tight surface makes porcelain tiles an excellent choice for high-traffic and hard-wearing areas like the kitchen. With a good rating, porcelain tiles can last 15 to 20 years, and high-rated tiles can maintain their appearance for up to 50 years.

Effortless Maintenance And Hygiene :- Keeping porcelain tiles immaculate is a breeze. A light sweep or a quick mop is all it takes to maintain their pristine condition. Thanks to their natural stain resistance, porcelain tiles don’t require sealing. This is a significant advantage over carpeting. Additionally, porcelain tiles are resistant to household chemicals, allowing for proper cleaning and sanitization without any damage. Harsh chemicals won’t be absorbed or affect the tiles in any way, ensuring a hygienic kitchen environment.

Reduced Fire Hazard :- The kitchen carries the highest fire risk among all the rooms in a home. However, porcelain tiles are fire-resistant, providing a safer alternative to laminates. Unlike laminates, porcelain tiles won’t catch fire, emit toxic fumes, or produce smoke. If you desire the look of a wooden floor in your kitchen but prioritize safety, porcelain wood tile can give you the exact aesthetic without the associated risks.

Ideal For High-Traffic Areas :- Surfaces in high-traffic areas tend to show signs of wear and tear quickly. But fear not, as porcelain tiles are built to withstand the test of time and maintain a fresh appearance. In long hallways or entryways where foot traffic takes its toll, porcelain tiles remain resilient and retain their elegance. The warm gleam of wood grain porcelain tile adds a touch of sophistication and creates a seamless flow between the kitchen and dining areas. The space is effortlessly brightened by overhead lighting, preserving the beauty of this narrow area with minimal effort.

Fade-Free Design :- Porcelain tile patterns are resistant to fading, even under direct sunlight. This makes them suitable for outdoor use without worrying about the design losing its vibrancy due to exposure to the elements. Even sunlight filtered through glass windows can cause regular floor surfaces to fade.

Moisture Resistance :- Porcelain tiles possess excellent water resistance, with a moisture absorption rate of only 0.5%. This makes them perfect for wet environments and areas requiring frequent cleaning, such as kitchen floors. By using porcelain tiles for the flooring, you can ensure that the moisture-prone zones in this small kitchen remain unaffected.

Beyond Imitation To Innovation :- Porcelain tiles offer an extensive range of designs, from wood grain to brick surfaces complete with grout lines, as well as matte stone effects and exquisitely patterned marble. This versatility in design, combined with easy maintenance and the durable nature of tiles, makes porcelain tiles an ideal choice for your kitchen.

When it comes to finding the perfect flooring solution for your kitchen, look no further than Tiles For Ever. As a leading company specializing in porcelain tiles and other tile varieties, we are committed to providing the best products and services for your needs. Our extensive range of porcelain tiles offers elegance, durability, and easy maintenance, making them an ideal choice for your kitchen flooring.
