Style and function
March 2008
A home is always enhanced by a beautifully designed garden. It’s ideal for relaxing during the weekend, a blissful getaway from the hustle and bustle, as well as for outdoor entertaining. Many city homes don’t have the luxury of acres of garden or parkland, but it’s still possible to create inviting and attractive garden spaces with minimal space. Garden furniture goes a long way to help create a focal point and give character to a garden space.
When choosing garden furniture, you need to first think of the kind of outdoor space you want to create and what purpose it will serve. A successful garden is all about forward planning as well as having the perfect furniture that fits into the space that you are trying to create.
Deciding on a theme or style for your garden is important, to be able to purchase the relevant garden furniture and accessories, as it will determine the mood and ambience of the outdoor space you want to create. A decked area is great, as it won’t dominate the garden, along with quality wooden furniture, folding metal tables and other sleek outdoor furniture. If it is a small space, neat furniture with clean designs are ideal. Foldable garden tables, chairs, and benches mean that you can stash them away when not in use.
