Staying in is the new going out, and as such, what better way to save money than instead of meeting your friends every Friday night in the local pub or else celebrating birthdays at expensive restaurants with family than hosting it right at home?
To make this possible, you will need to spruce up the back garden and, most importantly, install some form of garden bar. It will require a little bit of work, but once you have done this, you will have the perfect retreat for all events and meetups moving forward! So, here is how to design your dream garden bar.
The Structure
Of overarching importance, the first thing you need to think about when designing your bar is its exact location and how you want it to look when completed. Renowned and established outbuilding suppliers, such as those experts at ukgardenbuildings.co.uk, will be more than happy to help you with every stage of designing and creating your dream garden bar, so do not hesitate to call them.
The Style
The next most logical place to continue planning your ideal and entirely private bar in your garden is to stick to your own likes and preferences regarding aesthetics and personal interior design passions.
For example, if you live a more bohemian lifestyle and have already designed your garden, not to mention your home, in this way, it makes sense to continue this for your garden bar. Choose beautifully natural bunting and floral or geometric patterned decoration, with plenty of plants, bright colours, and rustic-looking stools, like wood or rattan.
No matter the style of your bar, make sure you opt for a design that you identify with, and moreover, that links into the interior styles inside your home.
Faux Plants
Obviously, if you consider yourself somewhat of a horticulturist and gasp in horror at the mere thought of introducing fake plants into your garden bar, then, of course, you should stick to your beautifully cultivated garden for the green element.
Conversely, if gardening is neither one of your passions nor your area of expertise, turn to faux plants. These days, the average person can be hard-pressed, at a distance, to tell the difference, and there are a seemingly endless variety of options to choose from. A fantastic use of faux plants would be to trim the exterior perimeter of the bar, such as a faux greenery garland with white roses scattered through.
Protect Your New Bar
Once you have designed, created, erected, and decorated your ideal garden bar, you will also want to turn your attention to protecting it. The best way to protect it is to build it directly into an outbuilding. You can store all your liquor in there without worry this way too! Not only is it safe from the British weather, but it is also safe from intruders. If you have it outside, additional methods of protecting your bar include ensuring that it is situated in an area of the garden protected against high winds and throughout the winter, covering the entire space. Paint will also prevent the bar from rotting, and as a rule, paints with latex tend to be more effective. Pick a colour you love and paint the entire bar.
