Out with the old, in with the bold

A bold makeover transforms a dream family home into a poster child for indoor-outdoor living. Being bold in the garden doesn’t necessarily mean an oversized landscape or big blocks of colour.

Any garden can be eye-catching; it’s about emphasising bold elements by balancing them with more delicate or intricate ones.

Light works

Consider lighting designs to allow the space’s beauty to shine even after dark. The idea for this naturalistic look is to use decomposed granite as a paving surface, which gives an organic feel. To keep it more maintenance-friendly, stabilise the path with steel. This landscape design takes its cues from the sand trap and bunker curves and includes flowering shrubs, perennials and some annuals, mainly seasonal bulbous plants. The aim is to create bold, clean lines. It is lovely to see pops of colours coming through the growing bulbs during the day and at night. So, one of the best ways to increase your garden’s visual impact is by using light.

Beautiful bunkers

A bench built around any tree is a great place to sit and admire the garden. Any garden can be eye-catching; it’s about emphasising bold elements in the empty spaces of your garden. To create this feeling, use a variety of elements or objects. Bunkers give the garden a curvaceous feel. Place these bunkers strategically to create a beautiful gazebo to enjoy in the garden.
