With summer just
around the corner, it’s finally time to look forward to some long and warm days
spent in the garden. Your garden might be looking a little neglected due to the
winter we have just had, or you may just feel like something is amiss.
Sometimes, all a garden needs is an established theme so that you can continue
improving on it for many years to come. If you’re feeling like your garden is
in a little need of tlc and a definite theme, here’s a beginners guide to
theming your garden.

The first thing that
you will need to establish
is what kind of look that you’re going for. Some people opt for rustic looks, where
others prefer a clean and modern look in their garden. Take some time to sit
down and plan out a theme for your garden. A good idea is to match it with the
room that leads out to your garden to make it a continuous theme throughout
your whole property.
Once you have decided
what kind of look you want to go for in your garden, it’s time to think about
colours. While different coloured plants won’t make a difference to the theme
of your garden, other features will. If you’re looking for a patio area or even
some paving slabs in your garden, consider Indian Sandstone paving slabs as they come in a wide
range of colours, so you’re bound to find a colour that suits the look you’re
going for!
Another thing to
consider when it comes to colours is your garden furniture. Matching your
furniture to any colours that you’ve already implemented in your garden will
ensure that it doesn’t stick out, not quite looking right.
Once you have
established a general theme in your garden, you can begin to think of different
zones that you want to create throughout. This could be for a vegetable patch,
a water feature, a kid’s play area, or even some decking. You can easily buy
sleepers to fit into your garden which will create the illusion that there’s
more to your garden than there actually is.
Choosing the right
plants for your garden will also make all the difference in how it looks. For
example, if you’re going for a clean and modern look, buying
creeper plants will change the whole look of the garden. For a modern look, it’s
probably best to go for small shrubbery that’s easy to maintain, and small yet
colourful flowers to finish off your look. If you’re heading towards the rustic
look, a plethora of different flowers will complete your look perfectly.
Consider planting bamboo to add even more mystery to your garden!
Use these ideas to
help you theme your garden ready for the many BBQs that you will be hosting for
your friends and family. Show off your garden with pride and don’t forget,
enjoy the summer while it lasts.
