Creating an indoor/outdoor space

Encourage your home to be at one with the great outdoors by linking up your inner and outer spaces

- 

It’s all too easy to think of home and garden as two separate entities, with a strict boundary in between, but linking indoor and outdoor spaces – even if it’s only a tiny garden or terrace – can help an interior feel larger and more connected. As we’re spending more time than ever in our homes, maximising that connection to our surroundings is crucial for a healthy home with plenty of wow factor.

Light plays a big part in creating an indoor space and incorporating the glazing required to achieve that is often done as part of a bigger project, such as a new-build or extension. But there are other, more decorative, ways that you can blur the boundaries between inside and out that won’t break the bank.

When you get it right, you are much more likely to spend your days with the doors open, enjoying lots of daylight and fresh air. So when designing a new extension or simply remodelling your living area for an open-plan space, consider these key aspects when creating your indoor/outdoor space.
