Do: choose garden plants for each season

You want to enjoy your garden all year round. So you’ll want to put some energy into designing your garden. Many flowers bloom only in spring and summer, which can make the garden look bare in winter. Therefore, make sure you have the right combination of evergreen garden plants, ornamental grasses and shrubs. Vary with perennials and flowers that have different flowering months. It can also help to make use of long-blooming plants. This ensures that there is something interesting in your garden all year round.

Don't: forget storage space

A tidy garden is a beautiful garden. It is therefore important to create sufficient storage space. If you have enough space, a shed is handy for storing things. Is your garden a bit smaller? That's when creativity comes into play. Garden furniture with storage space is an ideal solution. This space is already there, so you might as well make use of it.

Do: choose comfortable garden furniture over styling

With a veranda, you can enjoy the garden in spring, summer, autumn and winter. In spring and summer, the sunlight can be very bright. With sun shading, you can comfortably sit outside even when the sun is shining bright.

What garden furniture should you choose? There is plenty to choose from. First of all, it is important to choose what looks good to you. However, try not to focus on that alone. Ultimately, you want to relax, and comfortable furniture is very important for this. So make sure you combine beautiful and comfortable furniture.

Also consider the function of the garden room. Want to use the veranda for relaxing? Then a lounge set is the right choice. Do you often organise dinners with your friends? Then make sure there are enough seating areas by setting up a table and chairs. Fortunately, you have more and more comfortable dining chairs these days. Ideal for smaller verandas where there is no room for a lounge set as well as a dining table.
