How to declutter your garden
When you’ve got a hundred other things to do and countless more inside your head, it’s understandable that your garden’s appearance can sometimes fall to the wayside. Whether it be overgrown plants, gardening equipment without a home, or cluttered with garden furniture, your garden can start to appear messy very quickly.
Picture the vision of your perfect garden when you first moved into your home. Every actionable step in cleaning things up and restructuring your space should work to achieve that dream goal or get as close to it as possible.
Firstly, you need to start pruning! Take your garden clippers and work on those overgrown plants and flowers that are climbing your fences and crowding the perimeter of your space. Weeds must be dug up and dead plants removed. Give your planting a clean slate. As for your equipment and tools that may be lying around the place untidily in no particular order, you should consider storage.
Best garden storage options
Your garden storage needs will be different from your next door neighbour’s, the couple five doors down the road and anyone else in your life. Take your personal needs and requirements into account when choosing what and how much garden storage you’ll need. Despite this being a personal choice, there’s more than enough options to choose from, so you’ll be sure to find something perfect for your space.
Garden storage sheds
When you think about garden storage, a shed will likely first come to mind. With that thought may come images of big, bulking structures that take up plenty of space, which seems counterproductive when looking to make room. However, at Jack Stonehouse, we stock a range of sleek garden storage sheds that can fit various tools, equipment and anything else that doesn’t have a home indoors.
Storage boxes
Maybe the traditional shed, even a stripped-back version, isn’t for you. Your preference may lay in something you can store things your way. Our garden storage boxes give you ample space and free reign to store all kinds of equipment and items, from fold-up bikes to furniture accessories, in a secure and strong box. Choose from a whole host of designs and find the look and feel that matches your garden and, more importantly, saves you the most space.
Wheelie bin storage
Your space and style issues can overlap in various ways. The way your wheelie bins are arranged and how they match your garden’s style may make your space feel more cluttered and crowded than it is. A new coat of paint, or a new way of presenting them in this case, could change your perception of your garden entirely. Our wheelie-bin storage is the perfect way to shield unsightly bins and transform your space. These well-ventilated boxes provide a much-needed visual boost for you and your guests.
How to blend garden storage and furniture
The ultimate way to save space in your garden while simultaneously improving the style and feel of your space is by blending the functions of garden storage and furniture. You can do this perfectly with a garden storage bench from our collection. What looks like a simple, lovely piece of garden furniture that freshens up your space and creates a relaxed area perfect for enjoying a quiet day is also the ideal storage space.
Lift the seat of the bench and neatly store all of your garden equipment, general equipment, tools, and even cushions and throws to accompany your bench. Adding a storage bench to your garden helps cement tranquillity in the space by giving a home to unwanted clutter and adding a cosy charm.
It also gives you a front-row seat to view your newly cleaned garden in all its glory.
How to use light and colour in your garden
What is real is what we choose to believe, right? So why not believe and use colour and lighting to artificially grow your space, giving way to the tight and often cluttered garden you usually see?
Painting your fence light blue is fantastic for creating a sense of depth, but other light shades will also work. These shades contrast wonderfully with your garden’s greenery and can easily match any storage and furniture.
Lighting can have a similar effect while also improving your garden’s ambience in the evenings. If you’re worried about your garden looking too small, lights help to provide focus and a sense of grandeur to the space.
