sure you use outdoor furniture that matches the style and colour theme of the interior . For example , sleek and modern aluminium furniture would be more suited to a minimalist , contemporary home but chocolate wicker or teak furniture would be better for a more traditional home .
• Add bold , simple planters to add softness to the ‘ hard edges ’. But DON ’ T use a mish-mash of small , unmatched pots – this equals clutter , and will not appeal to your buyers ! Especially if the plants are half-dead or small and withered . ( This is something I am always telling sellers to remove …) On a typical back deck I recommend using 1-3 large planters only ( and I mean large … typically 1 metre pots !), ideally using matching pots AND matching plants . Keep the pots a neutral colour . This will create a stylish , simple effect and add a lush backdrop without the extra clutter .
• Remove all dead or dying plants and replace with fresh new ones
• You can add mirrors to exterior walls to add light , reflect a great view and make the space visually larger
• Add a decorative hammock if you have the perfect spot for it
• Include a BBQ , but only if it is clean and in good , reasonably new condition . If it is ‘ well-loved ’ but not in such great shape any more , it is a better option to store it away .
• Remember , that lots of lighting works well in your outdoor room just as
