Norwood No 1

Catnik Design Studio

These new garden areas were part of an extensive shift and change for this 1800’s villa. The architect linked two old semi’s together creating a new family home in this heritage area of Norwood. We designed 4 garden zones on a very small footprint. The first was the front garden which was designed with a soft feel in mind. We chose plants that would complement the style and architecture of the home giving it a softer feel upon entry. We chose large format pavers with a breakout area for departing family and friends. A large shade tree and colours that complemented the bluestone facade and lilac coloured front door. The second garden was a private courtyard adjacent the front garden behind a high picket fence. This is where clients can be brought into the private studio. Natural light in abundance we sought to create a lush green courtyard by using ‘green screens’, soft colours and textural ground covers. The third garden was on the northern side of the home within the entertaining area. We installed a very large Cercis canadensis ‘Merlot’ (Forest Pansy) for shade, green screens and textural planting for visual interest. And finally the back garden was designed for garage access, utility area access and for the clients two large dogs. We combined a selection of plants that were hardy enough to cope with playful pups, and would contribute to the clients love of fresh produce. Espaliered olive, pomegranate and pear were installed as was the clients lemon tree with herbs dotted throughout the garden.

Blue Garden Design Ideas for Spring

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
