As with house designs, garden designs are always changing meaning we are no longer used to the traditional country house design but instead use a mixture of different architectures. When you drive down a street houses are no longer all the same style, they could be designed to fit a number of different era’s from Victorian to Georgian to contemporary. This mean that gardens have to change to fit the architecture, which is where contemporary garden designs fit in.

A contemporary design is one which many try to achieve and there are many ways in which you can create a contemporary look. Not all of the links are expensive, although this depends on the look you are after.
When designing your garden, the first thing you need to consider is the colour scheme, if you have a garden which is largely greenery then it’s likely this will look more traditional so you may need to include vivid colours to make it appear more modern. If you already have bright colours within your garden, then you may want to work with this within your furniture colours.
There are lots of trends you can consider as well to make your garden more contemporary. For example, water features are always ‘on trend’ and different materials for plant pots can also make your garden have a more ‘modern’ feel. Metal is very popular in gardens at the moment, and a simple way in which you could introduce a modern feel to your garden.
Effective lighting is also important within a contemporary garden. Traditional gardens are unlikely to have had much lighting, as electricity for outside the home may not have been invented. However, a contemporary garden can allow outdoor lighting which focuses on certain areas of your home.
Contemporary gardens have become more and more popular over the years, what style garden do you have at home?
