How to Design a Garden For Socialising and Entertaining?

Your outdoor space is as integral a part of your home.

Gardens are an essential part of people’s daily lives, often seen as an extension of one’s home space; an area that welcomes visitors. With a desire to reconnect with the outdoors, here are our top tips to get your garden ready for entertaining.

Multi-functional areas – an extension of your home

The garden can form an extension to your home.

Choosing paving that flows both inside and outside your property is a clever way of ensuring harmony throughout your property as you entertain guests. Our Porcelain range is an easy-to-clean, resistant-to-spills option that complements every homestead – while also providing a lovely, cohesive look that works both inside and outside.

Outdoor kitchens – rustic dining

These days, incorporating a dining area into an outdoor space is a practical and stylish design choice for any home and is becoming increasingly popular with the warmer springs and summers we have been experiencing over the last few years. Practical and statement kitchen corners include rustic pizza ovens, built-in barbeques and warm-lit alfresco seating areas, with options to suit the size and style of your garden.

Secret escapes – creating garden zones to suit all the family

You should be proud of the garden you have.

Since the pandemic, many people have used their outdoor space to escape – a sanctuary from the outside world. We’ve had numerous stories of people seeking solace and time of reflection in the garden at the absolute height of lockdown – many of whom refound their love for their garden.

Creating an outside space to socialise with friends doesn’t mean that your garden needs to feel impersonal or industrial instead, cultivating a tranquil area where friends of all ages can socialise is essential. Tranquil areas can be created using light and rustic tones in your garden to create a homely feel for the space – and can be implemented across differentiating levels, effectively adding depth to your garden.

Creating phones in your garden is an opportunity to introduce different textures of paving; for example, our Aura Block Paving is perfect for creating cobbled pathways to secret retreats, while our Vintage Kerb makes rustic walls, setting boundaries to dedicated zones for adults and children to play.
