Outside, potted plants give life to the patio. “My idea of gardening is having someone else do it”, jokes Shapiro. He hired Pittsburgh event planner/botanical decorator Thommy Conroy to create a seasonal potted garden that stretches around the brick perimeter. As Daniel describes, “He transformed it into an urban oasis.” Built over the concrete slab, the flooring of the terrace was Shapiro’s DIY project. The parquet pattern is made up of acacia tiles from IKEA. The introduction of wooden materials makes for a much more tactile experience, and enhances the comfort of the outdoor space.

Industrial Garden and Outdoor Space Ideas and Designs

Our gardens and outside spaces deserve as much attention as our interiors – they can provide the first impression of our homes to visitors, a sanctuary to escape to in warm weather and an additional living and entertaining space. While not all of us are blessed with large industrial gardens and bags of outside space, there are plenty of ways of improving what you do have and making it work for you. Perhaps you only have a roof terrace or balcony? You can still get green-fingered with plant pots and raised flower beds, and you can create an outdoor haven with decking, seating, outdoor lighting and various accessories to entice everyone outside. If you do have a bit of space to play with outside, then aside from a lawn in your industrial garden, you could add some extra elements to help you enjoy the space even more. Adding a patio will give you the perfect area for dining, lounging or even a bit of outdoor cooking, and if you choose to go for a veranda you’ll have a bit of shelter from the hot sun or the rain while still enjoying being outdoors. If space and budget aren’t too much of a problem then a swimming pool or hot tub could be next on your list. Take a look at the various industrial garden photos, as well as veranda, terrace and balcony, patio, lawn and swimming pool ideas that are available on Houzz to help you decide what you’d like in your garden or slice of outdoor oasis.
