Sometimes having a large garden can leave you not knowing what you want to do with it, but as summer is edging closer, we’ve come up with some top tips to help you get the most out of your garden.
Build a garden room
Do you feel the need for more space in your home but would prefer not to have an extension attached to your house? With how the world has changed in light of COVID, a garden room gives you and your loved ones a separate, luxury space for any reason. If you need an office with substantial natural light and the inspiration to work, try the garden room. If you want to sleep underneath the stars or enjoy the natural beauty of your garden on a more intimate level, try the garden room. If you need somewhere to host friends, family or guests in a way that demonstrates the elegance of your home, try the garden room.
Full length glass roofs for your extension
You don’t necessarily need a conservatory to flood your house with large amounts of natural light. If you have a one-story area of your home or an extension, you could consider converting your roof to a fully glass paned roof that will also give you perfect views of the night sky in a comfortable, warm environment.
Conservatories
Depending on your area and local planning permission rights, you may be able to convert an extension into a conservatory or construct a new one all together to enjoy all the natural light they have to offer with little fuss. See how this gorgeous Edwardian conservatory seamlessly blends into the home with full-length glass walls?
Pergolas
Pergolas are more lightweight garden structures that can have glass on top to protect you from the rain, as well as provide a summer-esque feel to your garden all year round. Just look at this integrated oven unit with outdoor seating that blends into the garden with its contemporary feel.
Glass Verandas
Protect your patio area with a glass veranda so you can enjoy it in any weather. Watch as the raindrops drip down your veranda whilst you enjoy the cool air in summertime.
Firepits
Okay, so this one is less about natural light, but it can definitely help to keep you warm whilst you appreciate the night sky. Enjoy the rustic look of a similar firepit while knowing that it is safely contained for any children or younger guests.
Wood fire Pizza ovens with Glass or wood Verandas
Enjoy traditionally cooked pizzas with protection from the elements and no smoke-filled homes. What better way to maximise the natural light in your garden than to combine it with making food?
