Get the Vintage Garden Look
Get the vintage, English country garden look by extending the vintage home aesthetic into your garden this summer.
Transforming your garden into a vintage inspired English country retreat not only enhances the beauty of your home but also creates a seamless aesthetic from indoors to out. Here’s how to bring the charm of yesteryears into your garden this summer:
1. Choose Classic Plants & Flowers at Varying Heights
Start by selecting plants that evoke a sense of the past. Lavender, roses, and peonies are perfect for adding a touch of vintage flair. Plant these in clusters and use varied heights by adding taller flowers such as Foxgloves, Lupins and Delphiniums at the back to create a colourful, country cottage style look. Don’t forget to include some climbing plants like wisteria or ivy to drape over trellises and pergolas.
2. Incorporate Antique Style Furniture
Nothing says vintage country cottage like an antique style metal bench or bistro set and our 'Olvena' bench and our 'Muros' bistro sets give the perfect vintage look. Place a quaint bench under a tree to create a calming summer reading spot.
3. Choose Traditional & Vintage Style Planters
Get creative with containers by choosing vintage styles and finishes such as our Faux lead and terracotta effect planters. Our antique style faux lead planters are lightweight and durable, yet full of vintage charm. With various shapes and sizes available from trough planters and circular planters with period detailing, they are the perfect way to add a vintage look to your outdoor space.
4. Install Period Lighting
Soft, ambient lighting can make your garden magical in the evenings. Install vintage style lanterns or string lights to illuminate paths or sitting areas. Solar-powered options are available that mimic old fashioned oil lamps, offering both sustainability and style.
By blending these elements thoughtfully, your garden can become a continuation of your home’s vintage aesthetic by taking inspiration from the past. This summer, enjoy stepping back in time as you step into your garden to enjoy the Summer months in style.
