Tips for refurbishing your garden

Beautiful gardens appeal to our senses. The colors and diversity of design combinations, smells, sounds of birds and insects attracted to the plants and the variety of textures, have something to do with you. Simple concepts can make a big difference in your yard, especially if it's a small yard. This allows you to really make the garden stand out and make it visually beautiful. Less can really be more if you know how. Whether you have a large or small yard, here are a few tips for sprucing up your yard.

A beautiful garden has no clutter
This can be a challenge if you have a very small space and want a lot of plants and furniture. But putting too much in your garden will only make it smaller and harder to set up. Use vertical spaces such as walls, railings and hanging baskets to free up floor space in a small yard. And avoid using too many different materials.

Use smart storage
Don't have a shed? Try to use furniture for multiple purposes. Such as tables or benches that have storage space, and crates for toys and garden tools. Thanks to this integrated storage space, the garden remains clutter-free and you have enough space for seating.

Invest in comfortable furniture
Avoid furniture that looks great, but is uncomfortable and instead buy furniture that is comfortable. Outdoor lounge sets are a good option if you want to relax. For more comfort, add some nice outdoor cushions, as well as some lovely blankets for chilly evenings. These immediately lift the garden to a higher level. If you want to make it even more cozy outside, and/or also want to enjoy it in early spring or autumn, invest in a fire table. Fire tables are the new, contemporary form of outdoor heating. You can buy it at Tuinmeubelshop, for example.

Create unity and diversity with plants Create a beautiful garden by using one color more often in a variety of different plants. Color themes are a very effective design trick to beautify the garden. For example, choose different plants in purple, pink or go for yellow and orange.

Use unique decoration
Decoration should not be missing in the garden. Choose to be unique by, for example, painting stones in the shape of ladybugs, mushrooms or fruit. Paint stone plant pots in fresh colors. Or turn an old wheelbarrow into a planter. You can also use empty food cans as a beautiful garden decor. The possibilities are endless.
