3 ideas to make your garden design!

Who doesn't dream of a modern, designer garden that will make neighbors, friends and family green with envy? It is quite possible without necessarily having to ruin yourself or call in the professionals. Explore these three ideas.

Set up a barbecue area

As you are not planning to go on vacation this summer, you decide to take full advantage of your garden. And for you, the summer season is, above all, synonymous with convivial lunches to share with your friends and loved ones, with of course a beautiful gas griddle for the designer outdoor kitchen. Only problem, insofar as you do not have an outdoor kitchen, you have no choice but to prepare your meals inside.

That's why not only are you going back and forth between your kitchen and your terrace, but you're also not enjoying your guests. Why not simply set up a barbecue area in your garden? You have the choice between a landline or a mobile. However, portable models are less restrictive and do not take up much space. Choose a place near a water source. An extra sink will be very useful for washing your barbecue accessories and utensils.

Invest in designer garden furniture

However, there is no point in setting up a well-equipped barbecue area if you do not have the necessary logistics to receive your friends. And this summer season is undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to finally equip yourself with garden furniture. Who knows, this furniture may bring the little touch of design that your terrace is so lacking. It's even better if you make them yourself using pallets collected from the shopping center next door.

If you prefer to buy them instead, start by defining your needs and the use you intend for your outdoor furniture. Is it only for Sunday family meals? In this case, a dining table in treated steel, aluminum or polyvinyl chloride will do the job perfectly. However, for people who want a space to relax, a full resin wicker lounge with its sofa, armchairs, ottomans and coffee table would be better.

Working on the lighting

Finally, unfortunately often left in the background, lighting is an important element that you should not neglect when designing your outdoor space. In addition, by putting it in scene, the lighting will create the atmosphere you want, while participating in the decoration of the place. There's nothing like enjoying the cooler summer evenings after blisteringly hot days.

On the other hand, with the help of bollards or a street lamp, places of passage such as steps and aisles must also be perfectly lit to limit accidents and falls. Otherwise, the soft and cozy atmospheres are obtained using table lamps thanks to their diffused light. To avoid the hassle of wires, order solar models. As for the suspensions, reserve them rather for your balconies and your terraces.
