A straightforward but elegant way to design your outdoor spaces is to use ideas inspired by nature.
Doing so is easy. Your garden for example, is already outside. So borrowing ideas from what is already there makes sound design sense.
Some of these natural ideas can include: Glass ornaments and semiprecious stones, wooden and glass furniture, utility items like outdoor heaters and stoves.
But its not just the physical things. Colours and materials can also become part of a theme of design that carries from nature, into how you style the garden.
For example, patterns colours can be taken from the outdoor spaces and used as a theme to help guide your design ideas. Another great idea is to consider the lighting outside.
How you light your outdoor space can be done in a way that makes use of the features those spaces have. Lights in and around foliage, or spot lighting angled from the outside walls make great use of what is already there.
