At the back of this family garden, designer Henry Scott of Pehrsson Scott turned a redundant area into an additional outdoor lounging space, complete with an expansive deck and striking pergola.

3. Create a seamless transition from inside to out
Challenged with a multi-level garden, the team at Iguana Architects & Interior Design cleverly created an elevated deck, providing a seamless transition between the kitchen-diner and outdoor seating area, effectively doubling the home’s entertaining space.
The choice of pale natural tones for the decking offers a striking contrast against the black timber cladding of the extension, resulting in a modern aesthetic. To soften the contemporary angular lines of the extension, the owner has incorporated inviting white outdoor sofas, creating an ideal spot for enjoying balmy summer evenings.

2. Combine materials for interest
Part coastal, part country, this enticing garden shouts summer. By cleverly combining materials – timber decking, shingle, and stone pavers – garden designer Kate Eyre has packed this small outdoor space with buckets of character.
By locating the decked patio at the back of the garden, the eye is drawn through the pretty planted beds, increasing the sense of space and creating a journey through to the rear of the space. Meanwhile, a fire pit ensures the cosy outdoor seating area can be used all year round.

1. Transform your deck into a practical and hospitable bar
Take inspiration from this home designed by Cherry Architects, who turned a blank wall into a fun and functional serving area with a bifold window that concertinas to open the kitchen to the deck.
By extending the worktop outside and adding weather-proof stools, the area has become the perfect lunch spot or a leisurely perch for conversations, food and drink.
For spaces where full-height bifold or sliding doors to the outdoors aren’t feasible, a serving window offers an excellent alternative, allowing you to create that desirable indoor-outdoor flow without sacrificing valuable wall space.

Proving pergolas aren’t just for rambling country gardens, this contemporary structure built over a modern deck, designed by
Honeybee Interiors and Joinery, has helped transform the back of this garden into a practical and welcoming outdoor retreat.
The beautifully designed timber structure provides lovely dappled shade and a sense of privacy from neighbouring properties, resulting in a comfortable and enclosed outdoor space.
A stylish pendant light is hung from the overhead struts to bring focus to the seating area, while the black timber creates a contrasting backdrop for the plants to grow over once established.
