Family friendly
‘Home grown’ and ‘natural’ are both very much buzz words of the moment, so why not incorporate the trend of healthy living into your very own backyard? Try establishing a veggie garden, not only do they make wonderful displays, they create a sense of purpose, belonging and responsibility within a family. Even the kids can get involved in a project like this.
The outside moves in
This trend is growing faster than a weed with fertiliser. Real plants are becoming more and more common within a home as the outside world begins to take over. Now with the trend taking off, pots and planters are everywhere, providing even the fussiest of people with options to suit their style.
Rooftops and balconies take over
Homes and properties are changing, and so are our outdoor spaces. People are becoming more creative and adventurous with spaces of balconies and rooftops. Creating their own little oasis where they can. Need some inspo? The Block 2019 provided us with ample ideas.
Black is the new black
Black is everywhere, so why not outside? Darker tones have crept their way out into our gardens. Utilise the style on paneling, décor, furniture and garden elements like stones and steps. The dark tones contrasted against beautiful greens will create a really spectacular view.
Functional spaces
Thank you for the rise of the outdoor kitchen! We have upgraded the trusted barbeque set up to full blown, built-in kitchens outside. Customised to suit the space, these typically include your hot plate, benchtop, sink and mini bar fridge. By creating a functional outdoor space, matched with appropriate furniture, you have just designed a whole new room.
Feature lighting
Feature lighting is on the rise, and not just the wall mounted lights to make your front elevation pop at night. Under-step and under-seat lights are creating new levels of depth in backyards, while also providing a beautiful glow. Consider installing lighting against trees and in garden beds to create shapes, light and gorgeous features in your backyard.
Excited? We are! Begin your backyard transformation today and spend the rest of summer in a million-dollar feeling outdoor area.
