Hi, Are you still in a dilemma about lighting? If so, by the looks and sounds of things a flush, or even a semi flush light would be the best option for lighting up this room. Here are some options we offer to help you.

Hi June. Are you looking for plant suggestions or something else? Are you keeping the stone walls or changing them? I think a Japanese style planting would look good especially as it seems fairly shaded, so a nice acer or two, some low ornamental grasses, ferns and so on. If it gets plenty of sunshine trailing alpine plants might be another thing to consider. Here’s some inspiration:

Do not despair, there is a lot you can do to make your garden more secluded with new fencing and clever planting. Is this your only garden? Can I ask whether there is any covenant preventing you from having a taller fence? If not, then can I suggest a 5’ solid fence all round, with a gate. Most dogs will easily jump over your current fence and I’m sure you want to keep your dog safe. If a solid fence is not allowed, then a tall picket fence will do the job, or add taller panels to your current fence as in the second pic. I think a pergola in one corner will give you some more privacy, and you can plant climbers on it for even more privacy (first pic). You can buy them as a flat pack or get a carpenter to make and build one for you. You can add comfy seating, and a doggy bed, under it so you can enjoy your garden on warm days. Now for the planting. I think tall shrubs will create a secret garden effect which will drown out traffic noise and visitor noise! Things like evergreens Viburnum tinus, Ceanothus, Photinia and Choisya ternata Sundance. They can be the bones of your garden. Then add shrubs that are deciduous but add colour in the spring and summer, things like Shrub Roses, Hibiscus, dwarf Lilac, Cotinus and Climbers like Clematis, Star Jasmine, Honeysuckle and climbing roses. These need a wall or trellis or an obelisk to climb up. I can see you have some planting already which is great. The final addition to the planting is perennial flowers and bulbs, but the planting above will create a cosy garden, if you don’t want more planting. Here’s a few pics to inspire you and hopefully reduce your despair! 😊

Hmm, it looks good looking towards the house but from the house its a path leading to nowhere really. You could do with something to screen or enliven the sheds at the end. I'd recommend taking the path our and putting two small ones in about a 1/4 way in from the edges to boarder the lawn, the use the other 1/4s for smaller garden rooms with maybe some raised beds in the patio. I have an interest in this sort of thing so if you need some help laying out the structure or visualising it I can help there. Its just a 10 minute scratch model but it show what I'm meaning.

Sar,

The house you referenced was a project from several years ago. We had some fun doing it. As noted by the other commenter it wasn't designed for shutters but many of the homes we design are. Our current backlog is such though that we can not really accept smaller projects at the moment. Good luck on your search.
