Living in a country where we experience such great weather, it makes sense for us to utilise the outdoor areas of our homes. But choosing the right outdoor pavers and furniture to make your outdoor area a tranquil oasis isn't always easy. Here we've listed our top tips which will make transforming your outdoor area into the favourite part of your home not only easy, but fun too.
* Careful planning - It is important to consider every part of your outdoor area and plan carefully so that no inch is wasted. Take time to think about this and plan out the finished look you want before starting. This is important to ensure you achieve success.
* Dealing with existing features - You may have large trees or walls that seem to draw focus into your backyard or outdoor area. Consider building around these or highlighting them even more rather than trying to cover them up or getting rid of them. A tree can make a great centrepiece around a deck and a feature wall can look great with a classic water feature and some clever outdoor lighting. Remember, you don't necessarily have to get rid of everything and start again.
* Utilising small areas - No matter how small the outdoor area is there are ways of transforming it into a great outdoor room. The main thing to remember with a small space is to keep it simple. Things should be functional as well as look good. Find ways to utilise space as much as possible. For example, buy outdoor furniture that has storage underneath where you can keep your garden tools and other outdoor items.
* Keep a few things in mind - One important thing to consider is your neighbours. If you will be doing extensive work that will require a bit of noise or you are thinking of putting in a large hedge which will be in their view, it's a good idea to give them a heads up as this will avoid the chance of any issues once you've made the changes. You also need to consider where the sunlight hits your outdoor space. You don't want to block it with hedges and screens if you can help it.
* Making sure the outdoor area flows seamlessly inside - When considering the design of your outdoor area you need to think about how the elements from inside your home can be translated outside. This is where you need to think about the flooring that will compliment what you have inside your home. Sandstone pavers are often a good option as they have a timeless look and feel and compliment almost any type of flooring you may have inside your home.
Creating the perfect outdoor room simply requires some careful planning and creative thinking. I hope you've found our top tips helpful in giving you some useful ideas on how to go about transforming your outdoor living space into your own private urban oasis.
