Relocate the feauture gas bottle, donate the mismatched furniiture to the salvation army, and fill the space with lush pot plants and hanging baskets. Consider extending the brick paving into the lawn as it is currently too narrow to furnish with much. Widen the area to feel like an outdoor door rather than a corridor.

Thanks dr retro, yep furniture going. This verandah leads to the backyard where we entertain. Will look for some hanging pots. Cheers kerry

Hi, what about some narrow planter troughs in between the posts - in a dark charcoal colour or corten steel. Planter troughs also look really good in multiples and depending on whats beyond the grass they could double up as a privacy screen too if you needed them to by planting tall plants such as bamboo or grasses.

Yes thanks to the great idea of planter boxes, will check out where to purchase them.

The verandah gets very hot with western sun so succulents are a good idea too thanks.

Growing a a vine in one panels could work tooo
