GARDEN DESIGNER KIRSTY MCLEAN OFFERS SOME IDEAS FOR SHELTERED SEATING…
Our outdoor space has become one of the most desirable attributes for homes in recent years and 2022 is warming up to be no different. One of the best ways to really enjoy the summer months and extend the season beyond, is to create a covered space in the garden. A sitooterie - if you will – can work in any size and shape of garden. These structures can be used to zone the garden, create an outdoor room, or act as an extension to the house, to create a focal point or as a stand-alone building. They’re great for daytime use or for lazy evenings. With the addition of heat and light, these can make for a wonderful and welcoming space, even in the winter months. Here are a few of my favourites: LOUVRE POD: This is an aluminium, powder-coated frame with optional roof louvres that can be set to open or shut, making it weatherproof. It comes with side screens in weatherproof material or a mixture of glass and weatherproof material, so can be configured to suit your requirements.
