GARDEN ROOMS<br />

Those blessed with larger gardens have probably<br />

made the most of a lockdown in the sunshine...<br />

but larger gardens can also house garden rooms.<br />

These purpose-built structures can be fully<br />

plumbed in and have electricity installed, making<br />

them a viable space if your new work from home<br />

regime looks likely to stay in place - anyone who<br />

has been working balanced on the edge of the<br />

dining table with the family running riot around<br />

them will know it is not conducive to a happy<br />

working environment, so utilising space outside<br />

of the house is an excellent solution which<br />

causes no major interior upheaval. Unless you<br />

live in a conservation area or your home is listed,<br />

you will generally not need planning permission<br />

for these structures.<br />

Even with a smaller garden, utilising the space<br />

and making it feel like one homogeneous zone<br />

will make your living space feel amplified.<br />

Consider using matching or tonally similar<br />

flooring from the kitchen out to the patio, and if<br />

budget allows, opt for large panes of glazing or<br />

bi-fold doors to really allow the spaces to flow<br />

between each other.<br />

When setting up your outside space, the key is<br />

layering soft furnishings and lighting to make the<br />

seating area feel inviting. Use similar tones and<br />

textures in the adjoining room to make the spaces<br />

flow between each other. Al fresco entertaining<br />

will never have been so stylish!<br />

STYLE TIP<br />

Light and dress your outside space with the same care and<br />

attention you would your dining table when hosting. Will<br />

there be enough light after sunset, from the side, the table<br />

and maybe overhead like these fabulous string lights form<br />

lights4fun.co.uk. Dress the table too with lovely linens and<br />

have provisions like small throws over the backs of chairs<br />

just in case the temperature drops.<br />
