Patio

7 years ago

Please can you advise what is on the outside and inside floors. We want to put porcelain down in and out and are concerned about slip ratings. I would be interested to know what slip rating the outside tiles are and if they are slippery or not? Many thanks

Hi there. I'm afraid we didn't get involved with the flooring, we made the kitchen. You could try the Architects - search for Fabric Space. All I know is that they are a limestone. Hope that helps!

We stock a range ofco-ordinating indoor and outdoor porcelain tiles, and the outdoor tiles have enhanced slip resistance with a rating of R11 - I hope this helps

Hi there,potentially a great project.You have a superb blank canvas from which to create a landscape. Freshscaped will be able to assist you,I am sure. Meanwhile,if you seek inspiration.....have a look on my website under Portfolio sections; Landscaping and Poolhouses. A recently completed job in Kent where we added woodland,a stream,wild meadow, an eco office,and a superb Marston & Langinger orangery type building. I would be more than happy to put forward some ideas that Freshscaped could develop, or indeed assist with any Interior Renovations you may be doing also. I am based in Surrey,and work in London & the home counties. Best of luck,and do drop me a line if I can be of any inspiration to you. www.bellawhiteleyinteriors.co.uk

I think there is enough room to treat it like a room. I would furnish it with sofas, outdoor rugs and a table and chairs. I would put plants in massive pots so they need infrequent watering. I would likely add some interest to the walls with climbers and trellis and mirror. I would also consider privacy so perhaps a parasol or sails or a pergola?

You need to present it as a stylish outdoor room. Paint the slatted fence/screen black. I know this might seem counter-intuitive in such a small dark space, but it gives and chic look to gardens and doesn't make the space seem smaller as you might think. Then get some planters and fix high on the back wall - you can get some really nice GRP, lightweight ones from Livingreen Design and plant with trailing ivy. This will draw the eye upwards and give the illusion of greater space as well as adding extra texture and interest to the walls. I would also be tempted to paint the back wall a pastel colour, maybe blue? This will give interest and definition to the space as well as making it look fresher. You can also use some floor level planters for shrubs that like shade. Try Aucuba japonica crotonifolia, Prunus lusitanicus, Ilex 'Golden King', Daphne odora aureomarginata, Sarcococca, Viburnum bodnantense. Also, Box topiary (balls, spirals, cones) will tolerate shade and will give a chic outdoor room feeling to the space. Buy or hire some outdoor furniture - a small dining table and some chairs and an outdoor sofa and low table. Use bright cushions and accessories and dress the space as you would the interior of your house. This will give people the idea that the garden is a useable, extra space, not a dank storage area. The garden should add value to the house if presented correctly.

Hi. would you use a shower? It may be very expensive to run plumbing there and I'm guessing (!) you may also need council and leaseholder permission. I can't save pics as I have a poorly iPad but maybe google images of moroccan style courtyard for inspiration. I would have a self-contained water feature perhaps on the end wall if there isn't the floor space. Use mirrors on a ŵall to make it feel larger, I think you can get Moroccan outdoor ones. Moroccan encaustic tiles for the floor. If in budget a U shaped bench seat which you can add colourful cushions to when the weather permits, if not an all weather rattan sofa with a coffee table. If you want to use it all year round I would add a ŵall heater and a canopy of sorts with either fairy lights or moroccan lanterns. I'd also think about practicalities of gardening so I might be tempted to mix in a few faux plants..
