WANDSWORTH LEISURE GARDEN

Situated in Wandsworth, this once blank canvas garden has been transformed into a captivating oasis designed with the client's love for entertaining in mind. The initial light sandstone paving called for a softening touch, achieved by replacing the dark fencing with delicately slatted fence panels painted in a lighter hue, creating an expansive and airy atmosphere. Carefully positioned large off-white planters define distinct areas, planted with evergreen Ilex crenata balls and mature olive trees brimming with character, beautifully underplanted with evergreen Hebe. This choice of evergreen planting ensures a strong foundation and year-round visual appeal. Adjacent to the garden doors, a stunning feature green wall softens the neighboring house wall, adding a touch of tranquility. To the right-hand side of this picturesque space, the dining area awaits, with a magnificent polished concrete table and matching benches, accompanied by armchairs at either end, comfortably accommodating eight people. Completing the scene, an antique garden mirror and exquisite lanterns infuse this area with timeless charm. At the far end of the garden, a striking feature wall captures attention, with yet another antique garden mirror, creating an illusion of expanded space. Beneath the mirror, three planters filled with Ilex balls add a touch of softness to the wall's appearance. Along the outer edges, fragrant evergreen jasmine climbers gracefully intertwine with the trellis, offering delicate and fragrant white flowers during the summer months. Within this space, two L-shaped polished concrete sofas beckon for relaxation and social gatherings, providing ample room for sunbathing and leisurely conversations. Framing the entrance, two sets of three planters showcase the magnificence of olive trees, adding height and depth to the garden's design. The careful selection of furniture, colors, and materials harmoniously intertwines, resulting in a garden exuding a light and lush ambiance. Lighting plays a crucial role, seamlessly extending the comforts of indoor living to the outdoors, illuminating long summer evenings and casting a warm glow during dark winter nights.
