Landscaping for the modern home
Landscaping is one of the most powerful tools to use when lifting your home through renovation.
With Sydney weather warm the majority of the year, the outdoor space needs to be a key consideration for your renovation project. By considering how you will landscape within the planning and design phase of your renovation, you will be able to create a cohesive flow that seamlessly blends the indoor/outdoor space.
Our team of experts at INSTYLE will be there to guide you on how to achieve this, but so that you can get some ideas flowing we have listed some key considerations below:
A contemporary garden design that uses clean lines and a minimalist approach is one of the most popular landscaping tactics. Use of neutral tones and a minimalist colour palette creates the aesthetics of modern living combined with low maintenance shrubs and plants to suit the busy lifestyle. This tactic is easy to maintain and creates a landscape for your home that is elevated and tasteful.
Lighting throughout the garden, along pathways and decking adds a beautiful feature to the landscape along with making the space usable during the evenings. By strategically placing your lighting features, the architecture of the home will be complemented and illuminated.
Pergolas or shades are a great way of blending indoor/outdoor living along with providing a versatile way to experience the space through protection from both the sun and rain.
Water features add a calming effect to your garden and can also be a stunning feature within the landscape design. When thinking about the installation of a water feature, consider a sleek and linear design that uses natural materials such as stone.
Outdoor living features such as a firepit, bbq or pizza oven can also enhance the versatility of the landscaped space.
There are so many different ways you can look to create the perfect landscape for your home renovation to compliment your lifestyle.
