SUMMER RETREAT

For those who are holidaying at home this season, why not create a summer retreat in your own backyard.

Bright pops of colour using funky outdoor fabrics and flowering plants can help with creating the summer vibe. Creating a comfortable spot to laze in the sun, sip a cold drink and relax is also a must, whether it be a daybed with lots of comfy pillows or a seating area to chill out in.

Here are 3 examples that caught our eye.

We haven’t forgotten about balcony gardens, or courtyards etiher. Clever container planting using low maintenance plants such as succulent species are a great option, requiring minimal TLC.
