Having an awesome garden is almost as important as having an awesome home. Whether you’re trying to sell your home and increase its value or simply create somewhere you love to spend time, you’re going to want to work on adding the right things to give your garden the oomph it sorely needs.

The following things can help to give your garden more personality. Don’t neglect it just because it isn’t inside of your house – it’s one of the first things that people see!

A Water Feature

Water features can add a tranquil feel to any garden, so incorporating one into your budget is a great idea if you’re looking to add more personality and a peaceful feel. You’ll need to select the size based on how much room you have, but they can anything from a small fountain to a large pond.

High Quality Garden Furniture

Buying any old garden furniture just won’t cut it. High quality furniture is important, as it’ll last a lifetime and be able to withstand more harsh weather conditions. Not to mention it’s usually better looking and comfier to boot! You can start by checking out the selection from Garden Furniture & Interiors Co. to get an idea of what you’d like. Make sure you take your measurements and figure out how large you want your outdoor seating area to be. Some people like it to look like a real outdoor living area.

A Colour Scheme

Just because you’re looking at the garden, doesn’t mean you can’t come up with a colour scheme like you would inside your home. You can add colour with accessories and flowers. You can choose one colour, or even choose contrasting colours.

A Serene Space To Relax

It’s always nice to have a little spot in the garden you can go to relax, whether you choose to place a single chair there or a bench. This should be a space that’s fairly private, with the help of things like trees and plants to cover the area. Find a place at the bottom of the garden perhaps and transform it into somewhere you’d love to relax with a book.

A Whimsical Path

These types of paths always look magical. A whimsical style path could be perfect if you’re trying to create an almost ‘fairy’ garden. You don’t have to go for something rustic and winding if you don’t want to; adding any kind of path can add more personality and cohesion to the garden.

Unusual Shapes

You can add unusual shapes to your garden in multiple ways. Water features, accessories, furniture, and other things can all be found in shapes that will bring interest to the garden. Essentially, you want to think of the garden just like you would any room in your home.

What will you add to your garden to give it some oomph? Remember; treat your garden just as you would a room in your home to bring more personality and character. It’s one of the first places people will see!
