Styling Tips for your Garden Room

As we look ahead to the Summer, you may be considering extending your living space to make the most of the light or to become a place where you can admire your garden. A garden room could be the ideal solution, providing a wonderful link between your house and the outside world.

Whilst getting the design and layout of these extensions requires some expert advice, how do you go about adding the finishing touches to your new garden room? And what can help make the most of your space and give different areas their own feel?

We have teamed up with our friends at ufurnish.com once again and asked their experts to hand-pick some of their favourite products, to provide you with the very latest style tips, complementary furniture and accessories.

A garden room from David Salisbury will provide flexible living space, whilst ufurnish.com will help you find the furniture and accessories you need by allowing you to search over one million products from 100+ retailers. To make the most of the indoor/outdoor connection embrace the trend for indoor plants and keep the furniture natural too by choosing linen, wood or rattan pieces.

Luckily a garden room provides plenty of natural light for plants. Group small plants together in planters that complement each other. A mixture of texture and colours, reflecting the materials used in the rest of the garden room, will look fantastic. For statement plants, like orchids, plant stands work well by lifting up the plant so that you can see it in its full glory.
