This small London-based garden offers a modern retreat designed for both relaxation and entertainment. With a focus on practicality and style, every element has been carefully curated to maximize space and functionality.
Central to the design are the sleek concrete raised beds, serving as both planters and garden shed. These beds not only define different areas within the garden but also provide extra seating for gatherings. They add a contemporary touch while ensuring durability and ease of maintenance.
Flower borders adorn the edges of the garden, featuring low-maintenance plants selected to thrive year-round. From vibrant blooms to evergreen foliage, these borders add colour and interest to the space without demanding constant attention.
To create vertical interest, trees in copper pots are strategically placed throughout the garden. Not only do they add a touch of elegance, but they also provide shade and privacy, making the garden feel like a secluded oasis in the midst of the city.
A dedicated barbecue area is integrated seamlessly into the design. The flooring combines concrete and wooden decking, offering a practical yet stylish surface that ties the design together. This mix of materials adds texture and visual interest while ensuring durability and easy upkeep.
In summary, this modern urban garden retreat is a testament to practical design and stylish living. From its versatile raised beds to its low-maintenance plant selection, every aspect has been thoughtfully considered to create a space that is both functional and inviting.
