How to Love Spending Time In Your Garden

It’s the house itself that accounts for the bulk of the property’s value, but the outdoor areas aren’t nothing. In fact, in the UK, studies have shown that usable outdoor space can account for up to 20% of the property’s value, and it’s even higher in areas where spacious gardens are hard to come by(we’re looking at you, London).

So yes, if the garden is valuable, the question is: why do so few people spend time in theirs? It might have something to do with the UK’s weather (OK, forget that, the climate is definitely a factor), but still. Done correctly, a good garden will essentially become an additional living area, one that elevates your lifestyle at home.

In this post, we’ll run through a few strategies that can take your garden from ‘forgotten space’ to ‘star of the show’ in a matter of months.

As such, here are a few of the best garden upgrades to get done during the low-use season.

The Small Home Upgrade That Makes Mornings Less Chaotic

Every parent will be well in tune with the morning chaos that comes from having a family. Shoes magically disappear, costs pile up on the floor, and school bags somehow get left behind. The result usually means stress, raised voices, and often being late.
