HOME + GARDEN
Outdoor Living , Exterior Design cont ...
‘ Working and entertaining at home has increased exponentially this last year due to lockdown , and people have taken a much greater interest in their properties , gardens and how they spend their leisure time at home . Making effective and stylish use of outdoor space , our shepherd huts and pods provide the perfect opportunity to create a luxury multi-functional space in your own garden , with our bespoke designs making home offices , backyard bars , studios and guest accommodation a real possibility . That is , of course , unless the space has already been taken with one of our bespoke treehouses for children …!”

FUN FOR EVERYONE
Working and entertaining at home continues to be the case for many postlockdown , and with food and drink available in abundance , cheaper drinks and later closing times , it ’ s really no surprise that people are still making the most of their desirable summer venue – at home in the garden .
With warmer weather on the horizon , now is the perfect time to install your garden cinema and host an open-air movie night . Perfect for those of us who lack space inside , create a dedicated sheltered area , pack it with comfy cushions and blankets , and introduce some mood lighting . Invest in a projector and white backdrop / sheet and you ’ ll be set to start your movie marathon .
Children ’ s integrated play areas are another must , and with exciting new ways to engage the little ones , it ’ s a much welcomed antidote to iPads and the TV . Blackboards , sandpits , climbing frames , and mud gardens are being seamlessly incorporated into the garden layout through positioning and the use of different materials .
Garden spaces are becoming increasingly important for families offering a breath of fresh air and a place to escape and reconnect with nature ; all vital for our mental wellbeing . Outdoor entertaining areas will continue to be a key trend in every modern garden and we love it !
‘ With food and drink on tap , no stress over bookings , no last orders , no queuing with strangers for the loo , no need to tussle over taxis , and the opportunity to continue enjoying long into the evening , the garden is the most desirable summer venue to reconnect with those we ’ ve missed this past year .’
