Evelyn's Outdoor ideas
Simon Orchard suggests doubling up when creating new garden features, so they can incorporate additional seating. “If you’re creating a raised pond, why not make the top about 40cm to 45cm off the ground, so the edge can double up as a seat?” he says. “Add a coping stone about 30cm wide to make it comfortable. “Similarly, if installing a hot tub, semi-sink it into the ground to create an edge at seating height that you can just swing your legs over to get into the tub,” he says. The same thinking can also be applied to raised beds, as seen in this hardwood floating bench, one of Simon’s projects. “It has simple lines, and the warm tones of the wood contrast nicely with the dark grey of the rendered walls,” he says. “Also, because it’s floating, there’s the opportunity to create a planting bed underneath it with shade-tolerant plants.”
What’s on your garden seating wish list? Are you thinking it would be nice to have a cosy corner where you can lounge after dark or get comfy with a book? What about a fabulous dining area, some spots where you can perch for a think or somewhere for a relaxing morning coffee or sun-downer? Even in the teeniest of gardens, a good designer will help you to carve out a place outdoors where you can sit, sprawl, chat or eat. Read on to get the experts’ advice on where to start when planning your garden seating. Professional advice from: Simon Orchard of Simon Orchard Garden Design; Claudia de Yong of Claudia de Yong Garden Design; Julia Shipton of BALMA Building Services
How should I arrange the plants? Whether you use colour or texture to create a pleasing design, it’s worth planning it out first. If you’re keen on a decorative pattern, start by creating a grid on paper, with each square denoting a planting pocket, as in this scheme by Simon. “Designing the planting plan is important,” he says. “Consider colour, form and growth rate. Some plants will grow upwards, while some will trail, so bear this in mind. “Think about creating a pleasing shape with the plants,” he continues. “Just randomising them might look a bit messy, whereas grouping plants together will have more impact and show off the different species.”

Timber battens and screens Timber battens pack a powerful punch when it comes to noise reduction, as well as making a strong statement. Battens can be used to create privacy screens or space dividers, to clad raised beds, or to add texture to balcony ceilings and exterior walls. If you have an undercover alfresco area that could benefit from some timber battens, it may even be possible to use a noise-absorbing material backing, such as gauze or scrim, which will further soak up the sound. This entertaining deck in by Goodmanors Pool + Garden uses a dark contrasting backing, the colour of which can be customised to your taste.
Decking tiles Renting (or simply reluctant to build a deck)? Try using timber decking tiles instead. They’re removable, so you can take them with you to your next home. Also sometimes called wood paving or decking boards, they come in a variety of woods and finishes. Decking tiles sit on top of your existing outdoor flooring, so they’re great for concealing old stained pavers and unattractive areas. They can usually be used to cover a small balcony in a single afternoon.
Extend your fence material In a small garden, you’ll want your bins to visually ‘disappear’ as much as possible. Creating a screening structure from the same material as your garden fence can be a good way to make them recede. A neat wooden box like this will discreetly store your bins whether in the front or back garden.

Note the florring for the table is only a small patch, but staggered. And also surrounded by plants, which makes the seating feel like it is part of the planting. How do you pick a good position for outdoor seating? Take note of where the light falls. “To enjoy the best of the sun, choose an east-facing spot for your morning coffee and, for sun-downers, a west-facing spot with no large trees or buildings in the way, as these will block the sun as it gets lower in the sky,” Simon says. “When looking to position a table and chairs for eating outside, ensure the area is easy to walk on and level for table and chair legs,” Claudia says. “Hard paving is best rather than gravel – and it’s always nice to be able to move a table and chairs onto a grassed area during the summer months.” Simon and Claudia both add that it’s helpful to keep any dining seating close to the house where possible to save time going backwards and forwards with everything you need for dinner – and then everything you’ve forgotten.
