Summer is most people's favorite time of year, and for many good reasons. There's something about the warmer air and the longer evenings that works wonders for our well-being and happiness, and it also promotes spending time outside. The more luxurious a garden looks, the more inviting it is to have a barbecue, invite friends and even just relax in the sun. Have you thought about creating a new, luxurious garden? Maybe you just want to update and upgrade your current garden to look more beautiful and luxurious? Stop procrastinating. There is no better time than the present to invest in your garden and the atmosphere you create for yourself and your family. In this article, together with parasols.be, we give tips to give your garden a luxurious look.
Comfort is the beginning
There's only one place to start when discussing luxury, and that's comfort. After all, when you think of a luxurious environment, you think not only of what you see, but also of what you feel – a place of true luxury is one that appeals to all the senses in a positive way. That's why you need to create a space that is perfect for relaxing. All you need is pretty outdoor furniture, a few cushions, a few decorative pieces and an outdoor area rug to anchor the space, and you'll have a luxurious garden vibe in no time.
Invest in a garden fountain or pond
One of the easiest and most effective ways to give your garden a luxurious look is to invest in a garden fountain or pond. A fountain becomes the focal point of the garden, making a bold yet elegant statement. A pond adds an air of style and tranquility and overall opulence. Adding fish to your pond can provide a relaxing experience when you need some time off from a hectic or stressful day, while adding the right pond plants ensures the right aesthetic.
Make a beautiful lawn
There's no denying that a messy, overgrown, and unkempt lawn will drastically ruin the look of your yard. The key to a perfect lawn is patience, and if you take care of your lawn all year round, it will always look good. Don't have a green thumb? Then install artificial grass so you don't have to spend time removing weeds and moss, giving you a perfect-looking lawn every day.
Add a canopy or pergola
A well-placed canopy or a lovely pergola guarantee practical luxury. Both options are ideal for outdoor activities as they provide both shade and shelter and can also be used to house a hot tub. If you're looking for a canopy or pergola, make sure you find a structure that fits both your budget and your lifestyle. If you want to cover a larger part of the garden without a permanent roof, a catering parasol is also a great solution.
Add lighting
Lighting is essential to creating the right atmosphere in any room, and the garden is no exception. Think outside the box with garden lighting:it's the small details that set your luxury outdoor space apart from the rest. Try adding string lights, path lighting and even candles in glass lanterns to give your garden an elegant look.
Create a focal point
By creating a focal point in your garden, you make the whole look more luxurious. By adding a fireplace or fire pit, you not only create a focal point, but also create a place where you and your family can spend time outside, even when it's cold. Your garden will look much cozier then.
Invest in luxury garden furniture
Inside you have luxury furniture of the best quality. So don't be shy when it comes to luxury garden furniture. This is an extension of your living space. It has to be extremely comfortable and you want the same level of quality and attention to detail. From ultra-modern styles to traditional designs, outdoor dining sets to luxurious poolside furniture, choose pieces you'll love to create an inviting space for yourself and guests.
Invest in statement plants
There is so much choice in terms of plants. But a luxurious garden needs bold, eye-catching plants and trees. Whatever style you go for, don't be frugal with your plants. Think of palm trees and tree ferns that look dramatic. There are so many more large, mature trees and plants available today. Olive trees give a wonderful Mediterranean feeling. You will find that many lush, tropical looking plants can withstand the Dutch climate. So if you can't wait for plants to grow, buy big.
