Individuals with a garden at home can attest to the challenges of renovating this space, but the rewards make the effort worthwhile. Despite the scorching summers in many parts of India, having an outdoor garden provides a sanctuary, especially when adorned with lush greenery and ample seating for enjoying evening tea and snacks.
According to Vipul Pirgal and Divyansh Sanklecha, founders of Curio Casa, having a garden is a blessing that should be fully utilized to transform it into a heavenly retreat. They emphasize that a well-decorated garden not only serves as a personal escape but also becomes a place for children to enjoy summer holidays and for hosting family and friends, fostering memorable moments and conversations.
To enhance the garden space, the experts recommend the following:
- **Outdoor Furniture:** Opt for chairs and sofas made from natural materials like wicker, bamboo, or wood, complementing the green surroundings. Add neutral-themed cushions for a boho-subtle vibe or vibrant tropical prints for a lively touch. Simply changing the cushions with different patterns and textures can transform the entire look.
- **Coffee Table:** A classic coffee table is a must-have. Choose one that complements other furniture, such as a teakwood table with a marble chess board top—a perfect choice for summer. Engaging in a game of chess while enjoying cold brew can become a delightful routine, combining mental stimulation with a dose of vitamin D.
- **Large Planters/Vases:** Fill them with favorite greens or vibrant flowers to infuse charm into the space. Flowers, in various colors like pink, white, red, orange, and yellow, or even simple green plants, add a touch of beauty. Caring for the plants can also become a rewarding summer hobby.
By incorporating these elements, your garden can be transformed into a versatile space for personal relaxation, family activities, and entertaining guests, creating a backdrop for countless unforgettable memories.
