Use Shades that Showcase Natural Light

If your garden benefits from a great deal of natural light during the summer months, you have an terrific opportunity to utilize this and create the appearance of space in your garden. This is a common theme used in interior design, but the nature of the outdoors makes it even more effective in new build gardens and patios.

Simply by creating a clutter free space and purchasing naturally shaded wicker furniture, it is possible to illuminate your garden and establish a luxurious environment.Wicker furniture isn’t that easy to find, that’s why I usually go to Shackletons to find the real deal that will last me several years. If you are purchasing wicker furniture, you want to seriously consider resin wicker, which is super weather resistant and practically maintenance free.

Install Decking 

Decking adds to the earthy tones of your garden and helps to optimize the natural light that it receives during the summer. It also reinforces the illusion of space by creating a separated patio area, which provides a simple contrast with lush green grass or the vivid tones of blooming flower beds. Make sure that once you have installed your decking that it is well treated to protect it from the damage of heavy rain or snowfall during the winter months.
