If you’re thinking about revamping your garden, you’ve probably already got some dream ideas in mind. However, it’s often the case that our eyes are bigger than our gardens, and working scale into our plans is essential to achieving a successful end product. Whether you’re envisioning a cosy haven to leave the world behind in, or a impressive area for entertaining friends and family, in this blog we’ll dive into finding the balance between the size of your garden and your design choices, discussing various popular features along the way to help you decide what can fit in your space.
Before you can go ahead with designing, you need to get a feel for the actual scale and layout of your garden. While this might seem a bit obvious, you could well be over or underestimating how much space you actually have to work with. After all, most of us don’t typically sit around analysing exactly how much can fit in the rooms and outdoor spaces of our homes.
So, first things first, take a good look at your garden. Is it small or large? For a more accurate picture, you could measure it for exact dimensions. If you find it’s on the smaller side, you can think smart with space-saving features like multi-level decking and vertical planters. On the other hand, if you’ve got a lot of space to work with, you can easily create different zones, such as a dining area or a spot for kicking back and relaxing.
It’s also worth considering how your garden will actually be used. On a daily basis, is it just yourself, you and a partner or a family? Will you have guests over regularly for dinner outside, or is this something you don’t tend to do? Do you need an area for larger gatherings or for parties to spill out into, or is it a space you’d like to keep to yourself? On top of this, think about how you want your garden to be used in the future too: your family might expand, or you might want to start socialising at home more.
Once you understand who will be using your garden and how alongside its size, that will inform you on where to start with the designing process. It’s important to be honest with yourself at this stage: while having an area for hosting is a nice idea, if it’s not something you feel you’ll do regularly, it might not be worth including such an area in your plans.
Now, let’s shed some light on the situation. Lighting is key! Fitrite got all sorts of cool lighting options to set the mood after dark. Think fairy lights for that magical vibe or bold fixtures to show off your garden’s best bits.
Decking is often an outdoor feature associated with larger gardens, but this doesn’t always have to be the case. Decking is actually very versatile, and can easily be used in smaller gardens to expand the amount of usable space without making it look cramped. For larger gardens, it allows you to separate a designated area off for lounging, dining or whatever else you like. Fitrite’s range of premium-quality uPVC and composite decking is an excellent choice for any-sized garden. Not only is it built to last for years to come and look fantastic in all kinds of gardens, it can also be manufactured to match the unique dimensions of your space.
Picture this: your very own outdoor hideaway. That’s what garden rooms are all about, and at Fitrite we know how to make them suit your needs. Depending on your garden size, you could go for a snug nook with cushy seats for relaxing or working from home, or a full-blown extension of your home with dining and lounging areas.
