What could be nicer on a lovely summer’s evening than relaxing in the garden? Unless, of course, your garden isn’t well maintained. If you have outdoor space that needs a bit of an overhaul, there are lots of things you can do to make it presentable, welcoming, and appealing. Here are 4 ways to give your garden a modern makeover.
Boundary Fences
It doesn’t matter how nice the rest of your garden is, if the perimeter fencing is falling apart, in a state of disrepair, or looks dull and lifeless, it can make the whole garden look unsightly. To make your fence look more modern, get rid of any rotten or broken fence slats and replace them with new ones.
If your fence hasn’t been treated or painted for years, give it a good clean with a power washer or garden hose then paint with a good quality fence paint. You can get paint nowadays in a host of modern colors including grey, light green, and cream. If you prefer a natural look, stains that will protect your fence from weather damage can also be applied.
Contemporary Decking
Decking is a great way to add a functional seating and dining space to any garden. When coupled with integrating lighting, it not only looks inviting but also provides a modern and relaxing feel. Decking boards come in a variety of different widths, so if ordering online, be sure to check the size first.
If you prefer something easier to maintain, composite decking, a decking product made with wood fibers and plastics, comes in a range of colors and will help to add a contemporary touch to any garden.
Modern Planters
Specialist companies like OutdoorArtPros.com specialize in providing outdoor living products and have a huge range of planters for sale. These are sure to add a modern and eyecatching statement to any garden. From contemporary steel cubes to gallery-worthy Faccia planters, the choice is vast.
Planters give you the freedom to add pops of color wherever you choose around your garden, seating areas, and property entrances. It’s a great way to incorporate a unique and stylish addition to your home exterior.
Stylish Furniture
A modern garden needs modern furniture, and there are many options to choose from. An egg chair or modern recliner not only looks great but is extremely relaxing to sit on too. If you are an avid reader, then you will more than likely spend hours chilling out with a good book in an egg chair.
There are lots of sofa options that look very modern but be aware that some of them are not remotely enjoyable to sit on. Although you might find some competitive deals online, it’s wise to buy from somewhere that you can try them out first. A sofa needs to be comfortable first and foremost, so don’t be tempted to base your decision solely on price.
Oversized bean bags are on-trend at the moment and come in a variety of colors, so they are another option to consider.
