How to add more privacy

10 months ago

last modified: 10 months ago

Hi. I'm struggling with ideas for the garden. I'm planning to change the layout slightly, maybe by moving dining furniture from in front of the shed to the kitchen (sourh on the photo), but I'm not sure how to create privacy on the right (east). I'd love to have some plants, but I'm clueless in terms of designing a flow. Any ideas?

For privacy I would suggest a small tree, although it will lose its leaves in winter but you will still have the branches for some privacy. Something like a Rowan, Crab Apple, Apple tree or a Hawthorn. The design is very square so maybe a circular lawn, incorporating some paving for the furniture and make wider beds for more planting. Edge the lawn with pavers as this stops it growing outwards. More planting alone will make a huge difference.

Simplify is always a good strategy with play rooms. The temptation to cover the walls with artwork and posters can add to the visual clutter. I would suggest a larger area rug to ground the space and create a soft place for playing on the floor. A medium colour with a fleck from other hues in the curtains and upholstery will help hide dirt and lint. I think you could definitely cozy it up with a warm wall colour to unify the space. Lastly, closed storage for the toys goes a long way to creating order from the chaos. You will have a lovely space the children enjoy and you find restful.

the place is due to be painted next month..would it be OK to paint all the walls white then add colour in just with accessories like rugs, plants, cushions, lamps etc or should I be painting in colours and doing feature walls etc...I've always liked a white and blue beachy type theme if this would work with this room ?

What about 6 massive pots? Two one either side of the bay windows and one on either side of the front door. (I too have a massive gray gravel drive way. Trying to plant through the gravel brings on a whole other set of challenges. Pots are just more practical, for me anyway.) I love those trees in the lawn area.:) And the green trim. Also, how would that bright area around the front door look painted a shade a bit closer to the color of the brick and stone areas?

Hi, it's a lovely room and you only need to make a few minor tweaks. The two accent pillows in brown in front of the bed pillows need to be removed. They are too large and shapeless. Remove the brown throw. Your bed linen is lovely next to the grey wallpaper. If you'd like accent cushions, I would go smaller, tailored and something with an a print in grey and white or a colour that pops. The grey objects on the side tables are lights? I would replace these with a silver base and white shade. Remove the objects from the window. You could add a mirror either over each side light or a rectangular version over the bed. Here's my room with a similar colour scheme. Have fun with your decorating!

A nice option is pleached hedges, not cheap, but look great. This will still give the feeling of space if the garden is small.
