Front GARDEN IDEAS..

These design tips and tricks are guaranteed to instantly improve your home's kerb appeal

- 

Sprucing up your home to boost its kerb appeal? Our front garden ideas will give you all the inspiration you need to transform your outside space. As the first thing we see when we come home, our front garden sets the tone for our house, as well as creating that all-important first impression for family and friends when they come to visit.

What's more, if you're thinking of selling your home, you'll want to make sure the exterior of your property is looking its best. After all, there's no point the interior of your home looking amazing if potential buyers are already put off by the time they've reached the front door.

When it comes to the size of your space, even the smallest of front gardens can be transformed with some clever design tricks, turning a bland and uninspiring garden into somewhere that looks stylish and well-cared-for.

Set up a spot for dining

If your front garden gets all the sun, then make the most of it with a bistro set out there so you still enjoy sunny meals alfresco. If privacy is an issue, put up some willow screening or trellis to create a little dining nook. A wellpositioned potted tree would also work to make your spot feel a little more secluded.

Trail a climber around the door

Give your front door a lush frame with a climber such as wisteria, which will overflow with those much-adored fragrant lilac blooms in spring.
