Every home needs a great outdoor living space. It’s within these spaces that moments are turned into memories, spending sunny days with the family or long summer nights with friends. Whether big or small, every outdoor area can be transformed into a private oasis, follow these simple tips to bring your backyard to life!
Think outside the pot
Don’t limit yourself to a few random pots and some chairs – get creative and allow your inner designer to come out and play. It doesn’t have to be complicated to be classy. Start simple with greenery, and better yet, natives!
Bring your backyard to life with natives
Australia is home to a range of beautiful flowering plants, trees and scrubs. Here are 3 reasons why you should invest in natives for your outdoor area.
- Natives are easy to grow, resilient and can support themselves in the challenging Australian climate.
- Natives support a healthy environment. Unlike introduced species of plants, Aussie natives require less fertilisers and pesticides. This in turn decreases the amount of chemicals absorbed in the soil, water and surrounding environment.
- They saving you time and money! These low maintenance beauties require less attention than other plants.
So if you want to create a space that is beautiful, low-maintenance and will bring wildlife to your backyard, consider investing in some natives for your outdoor spaces. This simple investment is not only great for the environment but will help bring your backyard to life!
Throw some shade
As we all know, Aussie summers always bring the heat, so don’t forget to throw some shade in your outdoor area. It’s important to remember sun safety so a simple umbrella, like the Timber Freestanding Centrepost, can help beat the heat, provide some well-needed shade, while also adding a neutral tone to complement the lush natives and greenery.
Pop some colour into your backyard!
Let your artistic flair shine by adding a pop of colour to the outdoor space. It could be as simple as bright pot plants or some cosy cushions. A pop of colour can help break up the neutral tones of your outdoor setting while showcasing your personality. You can keep it simple yet classy with throw cushions or soft furnishing decor.
Hostess with the mostest
If your house is the hot spot for family dinners or gatherings with friends, make sure your space can accommodate your loved ones! Beautiful outdoor dining tables and chairs can make or break a space. Whether it be a set or a simple table with mismatched chairs, you’ll be the talk of the table with your stunning layout.
One of the blessings of living in Australia is the many days of wonderful weather that we get. Investing a little effort into your outdoor space means more time to soak up that glorious Aussie weather with friends and family.
