Homes and gardens are enjoyed by millions around the world however they’re often seen as two district places where you leave one to enjoy the other. However, is it possible to decorate your home to have as seamless a transition as possible? The answer is yes, and in today’s blog we’ll be exploring how you can enjoy both spaces flawlessly.

For many of us, we enter the garden via a run-of-the-mill door. Whether it leads from the kitchen or a living room, you can decorate your route to the outdoors with plenty of items. From potted plants to floral wallpaper or window furnishings, you can blend your spaces very easily.

If your spaces are connected with a patio or French door, you have even more design opportunities. Large doors like these are well suited to the aforementioned floral blinds but because they often open wide and are commonly used to let fresh air flood into a space, you have even more options!
