How to Create a Beautiful Garden Room at Home

Bright garden room
A garden room in an Edwardian house is updated with summery colours, bold pattern and a mix of modern furniture and antiques. Patterns and stripes in shades of peony pink and zesty lime green, accented with jewel colours, create a fresh, lively mood.
Glazed cabinets and painted armoires provide places to store tableware for both indoor and outdoor entertaining. Line shelves with wallpaper or an oilcloth fabric. Architectural detailing, such as stained-glass windows, can be highlighted by vibrant colour schemes to create a more contemporary look.
Monochrome garden room
Contemporary architecture dictates chic black and white for this open-plan living space, which leads on to a streamlined terrace. Oversized accessories, such as the vase on the coffee table, add impact. Graphic designs make a statement; this coffee table is a perfect example.
Layer texture in a contemporary scheme for interest: a loop-pile rug in a bright colour over sleek rubber flooring, and a mix of gloss and matt accessories will all add depth. Use table and floor lamps around the room to create pools of light, with recessed spots for task lighting
Simple gardenroom
Shades of blue and black teamed with furniture and accessories in natural, tactile materials create a laid-back feel for this retreat. A palette of blue and white is enhanced by light pieces of furniture, such as the wooden desk chair.
Furniture and accessories in a variety of woods and woven natural materials, give the scheme warmth and depth while creating a calming, rustic feel. Keep blankets and throws close at hand for keeping warm on summer evenings, using storm lanterns to create atmospheric lighting.
