How To Expand Your Home Into Your Garden

Your house and your garden can feel very much like two different spaces. You stay indoors when you can’t use the garden and you go out when it’s nice enough to do so.

But what if you could open up your house into the garden and blend the two spaces together? It can make it feel like you have more space and it can allow you to seamlessly use both spaces on a sunny day. And when you’re not using the garden, you can still enjoy it from indoors when you can look outside.

Here are some of the ways you could expand your home into your garden.

Open The Doors

One option for opening out your home into your garden is to think literally about opening up the wall that backs into your garden. This is often an external kitchen wall, which also makes it easy to add a kitchen extension if you need to. If you want to open up this wall, think about changing the door.

Instead of an ordinary external door, consider French doors, bi-fold doors, or sliding doors. Consider whether you want to have several folding panels or if you prefer sliding doors for a seamless look.

Extend Your Kitchen Outside

As mentioned above, gardens often back onto kitchens and they can be perfect for extending. However, you don’t necessarily have to build an extension to get a bigger kitchen. You might want to consider an outdoor kitchen space, where you can prepare food and cook.

If you use an outdoor kitchen specialist to create some kitchen extension ideas. They can help you to design everything and choose the right equipment and materials. You can pick things that will withstand different types of weather, as well as buy covers to protect everything when you’re not using it. Check the latest Flannels Home Decoration here!

Create A Garden Living Space

A garden living space is another way to make use of your garden and connect it with the space indoors.

When the weather is right, you can go outside and enjoy comfortable seating – such as these Big Bertha Original bean bags, helping you to relax and unwind in nature (and comfort). What’s great about these bean bags is that they’re not only comfortable, the outdoor ones are also water resistant (incase you leave them outside), and some can even be changed from a chair to a sun lounger! Feel like a big kid again when you sink into these comfortable bean bags – plus they’re very cost effective too.

Another option is to have a garden room that blends the indoors and the outdoors. Perhaps one or even two walls can be pulled back to connect the two spaces. OK, so this might not be possible for many people – not a big enough budget, not the right space to do it in…etc.

However, a cheaper way to make your garden feel like more of an extension of your home is by adding things like small pieces of furniture, outdoor rugs, or even some cozy lighting.

A simple string of festoon lights can make an outdoor space feel more like a home. Or, if you wanted something a little more subtle, how about some stake lights to put in pots, or along a path.

Try A Glazed Roof

Again, not a cheap option but perhaps a glazed roof? As well as looking at how to make changes to walls, consider installing a new roof. A glazed roof will help to connect the two areas. It not only opens your house to the garden on sunny days, it can also allow more light in on rainy days.

By opening up your house into your garden, you can make both indoors and outdoors feel bigger and more harmonious. Even the smallest of garden spaces can be made to look like an extension of your home. It just needs some clever, out of the box thinking.
