ENGLISH CHARM
The elegant and charming Bayswater Garden captures the essence of English simplicity with a touch of modern design, right in the bustling heart of London. Its multilevel layout invites exploration, revealing serene corners and perfect spots for both relaxation and entertainment.
Starting at the lower ground level, a large bench is seamlessly incorporated into the existing raised beds. Crafted from durable hardwood in a beautiful herringbone pattern, it offers a comfortable spot to sit and unwind, especially during hot weather spells. The use of wall mirrors on both sides gives this space more depth by reflecting the surrounding greenery and creating an illusion of spaciousness.
Moving up to the upper level, the design gracefully transitions into a alfresco dining area. At the centre, a large table is flanked on one side by a outdoor fireplace and on the other by a convenient built-in BBQ station. This thoughtful arrangement seamlessly brings together the elements of warmth, entertainment, and culinary delights, creating an atmosphere that is both stylish and enticing.
The patio leads to a semi-circular lawn, surrounded by simple and lush planting borders. The combination of plants in this garden creates an ambiance that is both serene and elegant.
To ensure privacy and add year-round visual interest to the garden, tall pleached Bay trees are strategically planted at the rear, while Viburnum trees enhance the right side. Complementing this evergreen core, a variety of topiary plants are incorporated into the planting beds and planters, creating a rhythmic structure that harmoniSes beautifully with the organic appeal of the flowering plants.
Bringing everything together is a cohesive planting colour scheme of green, white, and delicate shades of soft pink. This harmonious and simplistic palette, combined with various textures, adds depth, and captivates with a display of blooms throughout the year.
The clear and practical layout of this garden maximises usable space, providing ample areas for leisure activities. Practical solutions and stylish touches give it a tranquil and inviting feel. Within this simplicity lies the garden's true elegance—a gentle tribute to the timeless charm and beauty of a modern English garden.
