The concept of creating an “outdoor room” has become one of
the most popular trends in garden design in recent times. Bradstone
has developed materials such as
Old Town paving and
Tile paving which are
suitable for both laying inside and out, helping to link the
conservatory or kitchen with the garden to create an illusion of
space.
The principles of interior design can work equally well in the
garden; highlighting existing features (an old tree or a favourite
garden bench), adding interest (steps, a raised planter or a
circular patio) and incorporating practical features (a play area,
barbecue or pathways). Continuing the colour theme of interior
décor to the planting outside and adding ambience with scent
(fragrant plants and herbs), gentle sounds (a water feature or wind
chimes) and even soft lighting will help to create a real sense of
an extended living room.
The “outdoor room” of the Bradstone Garden for Living is
literally brought inside with a Bradstone
Old Town circle which
extends into the sunroom via patio doors. The first floor veranda
is perfect for a relaxing weekend breakfast and, close to the house
for easy summer entertaining, a sheltered terrace of Bradstone Tile
paving is enclosed by Bradstone
Madoc walling. The colour and form of the
planting throughout the garden complements the décor of the sunroom
which contains pots of the same plant genera.
