garden help after renovation

3 years ago

We've recently renovated our end-of-terrace house. This work included a rear extension and a new ugly massive metal shed. This has resulted in losing a lot of the gardens footprint. It also has left the garden totally torn up, like a building site. So it's a total blank canvas. As soon as you walk in the front door, you can see through to the garden, so I would like to get it looking nice. The reason for the massive shed is that it's a drumroom, laundry and bike store as well as a garden shed. There is also an ugly air to water hear pump on the patio. I'd love some suggestions for layout, adding some interest to the small space, and screening off, or drawing the eye away from the ugly elements (the fan and the shed). We are a family of 4, with 2 boys (2 and 4).

Bumping this in the hope that someone might be able to help. The house is on a east-south-east - west-north-west direction, so we get the first patch of light in the bottom right hand corner, and the last of it on the patio in the evening. Id like a little seating area or something in that bottom right hand corner to go for a cuppa on a sunny morning. I was thinking of some sort of a living wall/trellis in front of the shed to screen it off, but not sure how this would look, or how to attach it to the shed

Hi Travis and SoYoung - thanks for mentioning the fireplace.....I was thinking that I would keep it simple with a wood shelf over it and a large piece of Art but I now think it might be a bit lost. Would love some ideas as it needs to work with the built-ins which are slightly domineering. Also, Liam_Boyle - agree re the unbalance. The TV will be staying but I have a lovely coffee table and 2 identical sofas coming so I'm hoping to lay out symmetrically in the room. Will keep 1 of the chairs. Hope this will balance up. Thanks.

No . The wall is white and will remain so. I think your are right. I will consider your advice. Thankyou for your prompt reply. I wish I could send photo but I am not too good with doing so. anyhow once I get the hang of it, I might try a before and after. Kind regards, Victoria
