Having a beautiful garden has its downsides too. A nice lawn often becomes a favourite subject of prying eyes, especially neighbours and plain curious passersby. The good news though is that with a few simple ideas, you can turn your courtyard into the outdoor private living room that you have always wanted.
Poolside Oasis – Enclose a portion of it by making use of lattice walls. You can have columns with keystone arches on top. Although panels will screen the back and sides, breezes will still flow through unhampered. And with the help of surrounding trees, you can extend the open-air walls and achieve a more secluded environment.
Fence – This is the easiest way to ensure seclusion outdoors. Since the garden space is actually an extension of the main house, make sure that the architecture of the two complement each other. You can highlight the alfresco living room or dining area by having a post-and-beam pergola over a massive base. To divide the area into separate zones, you can place large olive jars.
Enclosure with Transparent Walls – Logs can turn a brick patio into an airy outbuilding resembling the skeleton of a house. Again, this creates a more concealed environment without blocking great views or breezes.
Pergola Shelter – Unsightly neighbouring structures may be screened by tall stone walls while avoiding a closed-in feel. Trees may also be added to provide some shade.
Patio-House Connection – By tucking a certain corner between the home’s back wall and entrance, you can get a feeling of protected privacy. To give more definition to the outdoor living space, use a decorative wrought-iron fence as a divider.
Of course, having a courtyard requires regular maintenance work, especially when it comes to cleaning and gardening. To ensure that these tasks are done according to your specifications, get in touch with Rubbish Removal London specialists.
