After a year that turned our lives upside down, it’s completely normal not to be ready for long travels to busy touristy areas. It’s also important to remember that the pandemic is not over. I know, you probably don’t need a reminder but it’s important to say – even though sometimes it seems like we’ve crossed the finish line, we’re not there yet.
On a happier note, many parts of the world are starting to open up to travellers. We can’t wait to start travelling again when it’s completely safe to do so. In case you are ready to feed that travel bug, pack your bags and get on a plane to a new destination, don’t forget to check the UK Government’s guidelines on travelling abroad, including how to travel safely during the pandemic and what you need to do before returning to England during COVID-19.
For those who are not ready to hop on a plane yet, we’ve decided to write a little guide on how to turn your outdoor space into a dreamy paradise, so you can still have a lovely holiday from the comfort of your home. Sounds good? Let’s do this.
Make It Weather-ready
There is no point in improving your outdoor space if you have no way of enjoying it when the weather is cold and rainy because as you are well aware that’s 99% of the weather we get here in England. So, it’s time to start thinking of how you are going to make the most out of your garden space.
A great way is to enjoy your outdoor area no matter the weather is to install a modern pergola. If you are looking for a retractable roof pergola in the UK, Designer Shade Solutions will be able to help. Designer Shade Solutions can work with you or with your design team to create the pergola of your dreams.
Have you always wanted to have an outdoor space that you could enjoy all year round? Another reason to go for a modern pergola. These feature a retractable roof that can be easily open, closed or simply tilted. Plus, these can be fully customised to meet your design and function requirements. Whether you want heating, lighting or a completely closed pergola to create the ultimate outdoor room – you can get it all!
Make It More Private
The last thing you want whilst relaxing during your “homecation” is to have your neighbours looking over and seeing what you are doing (or not doing). This article on Martha Stewart advises blocking your nosy neighbours’ view by planting evergreen shrubs for added privacy. To block the view of pedestrians walking near your home, plant shrubs around the borders of your property. For some added privacy around your garden, plant some trees around the areas you need privacy the most.
Make It Peaceful
Twin Mummy and Daddy shared an outdoor living trend that I absolutely love – peaceful gardens. “It’s all about making our gardens the most relaxing and tranquil place of our home.” There are various ways to make your garden space even more relaxing, from adding soothing colours to your outdoors by planting colourful plants to adding comfortable seating and lighting to create a fabulous atmosphere.
