When decorating a room in your house, you want to make sure it gives off the tone and vibe that corresponds with the style of your home, and the same rules should apply when it comes to your garden.

Here are a few of the best garden tips to help you achieve your perfect outdoors this year.

Be environmentally friendly

Stick with a theme
As mentioned above, like any room in the house you want to keep the colours and decorations relatively the same. This is no different to the garden so it is important to pick a theme or colour scheme, and stick with it. You might want a modern and simple design, or you may prefer a grand garden with antique furniture and garden gnomes. Whatever it is, choosing a theme, matching textures and picking a few colours to stick with are some of the most important decisions. The more you match, the cleaner and classier your garden will look. For example, one theme you might choose to follow is the English style garden. This is a simple and cosy style with pastel colours for decorations and flowers such as roses and tulips planted. Another theme as spoken about is the Oriental garden, which is more grandly designed with brighter colours and more accessories.
Light up the warm nights
Choosing the right lighting is important to consider if you’re planning on using the garden into the late hours of the night this summer, so you need to make sure they fit the purpose you want them to serve. This means being smart about the lights you choose and the placement of them. For example, whether it’s by the BBQ, around the pool, on the decking for some late night reading, or whether they will be used for decoration and feature purposes, they will all have a different role so you might need to buy into more than one. Lights are a great way to make your garden look a lot bigger than it is, and you can also consider buying trendy coloured lights to add an extra wow factor.
