Outdoor updates
With spring just around the corner, thoughts inevitably turn to the garden. Updating an outdoor space can breathe new life into your home and provide a fresh area for relaxation, entertainment and enjoyment. From painting to paving or adding an outdoor kitchen, there are numerous ways to enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor living area.
Paving or tiling a path
A well-designed paved path is not only functional – providing a route through the garden or making for an easy journey to the front door – but also contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal of your home. A pretty path through a front garden also adds significant kerb appeal. From pretty patterned tiles through to colourful geometric shapes or even porcelain tiles that mimic another material, such as wood, there’s an option that works for every style of property.
Tiling an exterior wall
Adding tiles to an exterior wall can create a stand-out feature in your garden. Whether you opt for a full feature wall or a smaller tiled area, it can be a focal point that adds texture, colour and visual interest. Ensure the wall is properly prepared and use suitable tiles, outdoor adhesives and grout.
Bring the outside in
For a seamless look why not extend into your outside space by using the same tile design both inside and out. We have a range of tile collections that are available in both an indoor and outdoor option allowing you to create an inviting extension of your home.
Paving a patio
Creating a paved patio area is a fantastic way to extend your living space outdoors. It provides a durable and attractive foundation for outdoor furniture, fire pits and more. Consider the layout and size carefully to ensure the space meets your needs for entertaining and relaxation and offers a good balance between the building and natural environment.
Painting a wall or fence
A fresh coat of paint on your garden wall or fence can dramatically change the look of an outdoor space. Rather than going for something expected - such as a wood stain - why not pick a stylish paint colour instead. For a modern look, consider soft neutrals that complement the greenery of the garden. Ensure the surface is clean and apply a primer for a long-lasting finish.
Painting exterior doors and windows
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. That’s why a front door is so important. You can make it stand out by painting it in a vibrant or unexpected shade. We love a pink front door as it’s such an optimistic colour and looks great with any style of home. Make sure you take the time to prepare the surface properly by cleaning, sanding and priming as needed and then paint it in any colour that makes you smile.
