Top Garden Entertainment Features For Remarkable Design
Entertainment is a large part of our lives and it is about time our homes caught up. While the interior of your home may be kitted out with the latest technology, devices, and games it is likely that your garden is lacking – wasting it’s potential by being a dull space.
To encourage the whole family to spend more time outdoors, you need to incorporate garden entertainment features into your landscape design. Designing a space specifically for entertainment, from movies and music to hosting and dining, encourages you to get outdoors.
Being in nature can be extremely beneficial and is a great way to spend quality time with the people you love. By incorporating garden entertainment features into your landscape design, you can craft an environment that is ready for any occasion.
At TM Landscapes, we specialise in garden design and understand what it takes to bring out the best in any landscape. Using our experience and passion for this work, we are sharing the best entertainment garden features you should incorporate into landscape design.
Building A Garden For Entertaining: What Do You Like?
In many cases, the garden is a wasted space. What was once an asset of your property has become overgrown, misused or underdeveloped which hinders you from wanting to spend any time outdoors. However, as we look forward to the warmer months and the longer days, the garden can become a prime spot for any occasion.
Whether catching up with friends, unwinding after work, or reconnecting with your partner, the garden could be a central setting. Implementing some garden entertainment features into your landscape design can transform even the most basic, urban courtyard into a hub for celebration.
We are going to share several of the best ideas for garden entertainment features, but you do not need to implement them all to create a space you’ll love. One or two of these features can be more than enough to transform your outdoor space and create an engaging environment for the whole family, as long as it is in line with your lifestyle.
Ahead of redesigning your garden, think about what you like to do and what you want to use this space for. Are you an avid cook who likes to share meals with friends or a homebody who wants a cosy reading nook to enjoy on cool, summer evenings? Considering your desires and lifestyle can help narrow down your options and ensure you are creating a space you’ll use and enjoy.
Top Garden Entertainment Features To Consider
Entertainment comes in many forms and we have several recommendations for garden entertainment features to suit any landscape, budget or desire. These include:
Another Round On Me: Garden Bars
Bars have been a popular garden entertainment feature for many years now, but they saw a drastic increase during the pandemic. When public spaces were closed and we were forced to spend a lot of time in our homes, more people than ever became interested in outdoor bars or garden pubs.
Although we have moved on from the pandemic, garden bars continue to be a popular addition in landscape design because they offer so many benefits. These are excellent settings for any occasion, from birthday parties and anniversaries to casual after-work drinks. Whether you opt for a closed-in structure, such as a garden room, or an open bar on the lawn, having your own pub can be extremely entertaining.
Even if you are tee-total, creating a space that is for hosting, chatting, and relaxing can be extremely beneficial to your social life while also making great use of your garden. Stock the bar with your favourite drinks, alcoholic or otherwise, invest in comfortable seating, and adorn the space with gentle lighting for a cosy private pub ready for any occasion.
Movie Night Under The Stars: Projectors And Cinema Seating
Transform any surface into a cinema screen with garden projectors, which have seen a huge increase in popularity in recent years. These garden entertainment features are suitable for families or those living alone, as you control what is being shown.
Instead of crowding around the shared TV in the living room or all sitting separately on smaller screens, get the gang together for a shared movie night under the stars. Design a cosy seating area on the patio with outdoor sofas, or blankets and beanbags.
Add lanterns and twinkle lights across the fence or around a pergola to set the warm ambience and make sure to stock up on snacks. From fire-roasted marshmallows to oven popcorn, you can control how much you eat and when – even while the movie is playing.
Whether you choose to watch the latest release, your past favourites or binge-watch a TV show, you have the freedom to choose and can make great use of our free evening in your own garden.
Romantic Date Night On Demand: Outdoor Cooking And Dining
Outdoor kitchens are a luxurious but incredibly functional garden entertainment feature. Whether you love to cook or simply want to have an excuse to be outdoors, garden kitchens can be custom-made to include all the essential tools.
Complement the space with a private dining area, set on elegant porcelain paving. A sleek dining set, tea lights, and a glass of wine can create a beautifully romantic setting that you can enjoy at a moment’s notice.
Make more time for your partner by creating your own date night and spending it in the garden. You can choose the menu and the setting, all without needing a babysitter!
Once date night is over, the garden kitchen continues to be an asset in your landscaping. This becomes the perfect excuse for al fresco dining, family dinner parties and celebrating over a home-cooked meal no matter the occasion.
Conclusion
By incorporating garden entertainment features into your landscape design, you can create an environment that the whole family will love. Thinking outside of the box and considering how you like to spend your time away from home can help you when designing an entertaining garden.
With amazing features like outdoor kitchens, projectors and garden rooms you can create a landscape that complements your lifestyle and allows for more fun in your daily routine. Use decoration and lighting to create an inviting environment that you can’t wait to be in and see the amazing changes to your social life.
