How to Create an Outdoor Urban Oasis

When you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, there’s nothing quite like an outdoor retreat. This summer, why not turn traditional garden design on its head, and give your garden a modern urban look for summer?

Whether you want to add an industrial edge to your suburban garden or want a peaceful haven in the heart of the city, urban style works perfectly for any outdoor space. It’s versatile, modern and so on-trend.

So, are you ready to bring industrial style outdoors? Take a look at our tips for creating an outdoor urban oasis.

Create a practical seating space

An urban-inspired garden should be a stylish and functional space where the whole family can spend time, whether that's to eat or just to relax. Garden furniture is a great way to separate spaces and add a clear function to each area. For example, an outdoor corner sofa is perfect for creating an informal area to lounge and soak up the sunshine.

If you love to entertain outdoors, consider a garden dining table and chairs where guests can sit and eat al fresco. You can mix and match different styles for an informal, industrial look. Alternatively, if you’ve got a small garden, a couple of lounge chairs and a side table will provide ample seating without taking up too much space.

Add greenery and texture

Of course, no garden is complete without a touch of greenery! Plants are a great way to break up the hard lines and grey colours of an urban-inspired garden. Palms and ferns work well in a contemporary outdoor space, or why not try growing your own herbs and spices?

For a fuss-free and low maintenance garden, keep it simple with pots and planters. Planters are a perfect way to add a touch of green to your patio or decking and are also a great idea if you don’t have much lawn space.
