Is your garden ready for a social gathering?

Inside out?

Past trends have been all about bringing the outside in. Teaching us the health benefits of natural  light and plants around our homes.

Moving forward.

The rules of the last year are ever changing, but if these changes have taught us anything it has been that our own homes are the safest places to be. Home renovations have taken a massive up turn, as have making our gardens sociable places to be. We can be together, but more outside than in. There are some amazing solutions to spending sociable time in our gardens in the Scottish weather.

Outside accessories.

I love the look of garden hammocks! There are tonnes on the market, even free standing if you don’t have the picturesque trees some hammocks would need.

I’ve looked at garden rugs and wondered how they would fare in Scottish weather? Having a garden room would be somewhere a rug could live when our weather isn’t the best.

Water features, big or small, can create a beautifully relaxing atmosphere, no matter what’s outside your garden fence. Making your home a haven is the best investment you can ever make.

Outside In.

When we at Ardent decorating were approached by Outside In Garden Rooms, we knew we could provide a finish fit for their products. Taking last years ‘man cave’ to a new level, these installations are the best on the market. With something to suite every space, for every purpose.

Outside In Garden Rooms are another family run business that specialise in bespoke, fully insulated garden rooms that can be used all year round, not just the summer months. Finding another company with the same business morals and expectations doesn’t always come easy, but this collaboration has come naturally to us.

If you are looking for any other exterior work to be carried out in the coming months, contact us and we’ll ensure the best services available are there for you.
