Simple Tips to Enhance Your Outdoor Space

There comes a time when you decide to tackle the task of improving your outdoor space. It can be an intimidating project, especially if you have a large deck and garden, but tackling the jobs in turn will give you an enormous sense of achievement.

Where Do You Start?

As with any project, taking on the first task will get the ball rolling. The gardens are usually the focus point of the outdoor space so we recommend starting there. A tired and drab garden always seems to drag down the mood in other areas, so get rid of unwanted pots and weed out dead shrubs before weeding. Spruce up your garden beds with fresh mulch and replant removed greenery to introduce new life.

Tired Decking

It’s a job nobody enjoys, but cleaning and re-staining tired old decking can make your outdoor space look a million dollars. Take the time to replace missing screws or nails and old, worn boards. There are many different types of stains and PVC coverings to put the shine back on your deck and along with many new applicators that make it a little less of a chore than it used to be.

Blank Spaces

Got too many blank walls or featureless fences? Add a splash of colour with some hardy weather-proof paint or if you are the green fingered type, why not construct some vertical gardens to encourage nature to contribute. Choose your plantings correctly and you can use the produce in the kitchen. Other ways to fill blank walls (and make an excellent foreground to fresh paint) is to position feature plants in modern pots. Yuccas and grass trees make excellent features on their own. For those willing to spend a few dollars, attach some designer screening panels to your fence line to give it a new lease of life.

Outdoor Furniture

Whether your current furniture has suffered too many seasons in the elements or you just want fresh new designer furniture to go with your sparkling outdoor area, you can’t beat the look of new outdoor furniture. Choose complementing settings from the range at Outdoor Furniture Ideas will give your space the ‘Wow!’ factor. From a classy 7 piece dining settings that can accommodate unexpected guests, to the wonderful surrounds of the Linz 6 piece outdoor modular lounge that will you see out the evening in sumptuous style. For smaller areas you may want to furnish the area with individual style like the Bellini chair or Nardi Arla arm chair.
