It’s safe to say that 2020 and 2021 were very unusual years with the pandemic turning daily living on its head. While there are some countries opening their doors to visitors, there are still a lot of regulations in place that make holidaying abroad trickier than usual.
For many of us, staycations are the most appealing option, and while we’re not spending money on our annual holidays, a lot of homeowners are choosing to invest in their homes and gardens. If you’re thinking about making some garden improvements in 2022, we’re here to give you some inspiration.
Add a stylish new patio
One way you can instantly elevate your garden design is to get rid of your tired old patio and replace it with something stylish, modern and durable. The key here is to choose paving slabs that will look good and stand the test of time. There are a lot of different paving options on the market, but one of our absolute favourites is porcelain paving.
Porcelain paving can be made to look like a variety of natural stones including slate, limestone and concrete and can even be made to look like real wood! Not only are the design options endless, porcelain paving boasts a range of qualities that makes it a wonderful addition to any garden space. It’s slip resistant, stain resistant and easy to maintain.
Install a modern garden room
Making the most of your garden can be difficult, especially when you live in the UK! Inclement weather seems to have a way of creeping up on you when you least expect it. An excellent way to improve your garden in 2022 is to create more spaces that can be used whatever the weather.
Old-fashioned conservatories aren’t really in fashion anymore. They’re cold, noisy and tend to cause homeowners a lot of problems. Don’t worry, there’s a perfect modern alternative to a traditional conservatory that we’re sure you’ll love. We’re talking about glass garden rooms. These incredibly stylish structures can be attached to your home to extend your living space, or can be installed at the bottom of the garden as a cosy hideaway.
Fit a brand new deck
While a real wood deck might seem like a good idea at first, failure to maintain it can cause it to warp, splinter and crack. Over time, your old deck not only starts to make your garden look untidy, but it also becomes a health and safety hazard. Damaged wood planks can give you and your family splinters.
A great way to improve your garden is to rip up your old deck and replace it with something that’s infinitely more durable. Rather than using real wood, we’d recommend giving composite decking a try. Unlike real wood, composite decking never needs to be sanded, stained, or sealed. This makes it a great option if you want your garden to be easier to maintain in 2022.
