Small Funky Family Garden

A fun yet highly functional garden for relaxation and entertainment for a young family. The funky colour scheme featured the striking colours of the nearby Lawn tennis Club, a s per the client's request.

The garden features an L-shaped raised bed with limestone seating, integrated with distinctive BBQ/gel fire/log fire combo. A limestone terrace, with a lovely seating area, is in keeping with the design of the property. We were careful to have the finish of the garden very highly specified and detailed in accordance with the client's gorgeous contemporary property.

The client also requested low-maintenance features to suit her lifestyle. An artificial lawn supplied by Namgrass was laid. Evergreen planting was combined with beautiful pink and red flowers for seasonal interest. Overhead lighting bathes the whole garden with illumination creating a lively evening environment for the family.

With its lovely community atmosphere, extensive green spaces, local shops, good schools, and easy commuter access to central London and the city, Wimbledon is one of the most desirable areas for raising families and cultivating beautiful gardens. Properties range from grand period homes to four-bedroom family houses, with ample outdoors spaces for children to play and experience the outdoors. Potential residents are attracted to the enviable mix of city and country living, with Wimbledon's excellent transport links (Waterloo is less than 20 minutes away by train), 1,000 acres of greenery at Wimbledon Common, and spacious, suburban character.

Many garden designers in Wimbledon are asked to create vibrant outdoors environments the whole family can enjoy, whether for large, luxurious gardens or small outdoor rooms. Small garden designs in Wimbledon face the challenge of incorporating generous play areas for children while meeting the needs of the other family members, such as for entertainment, and integrating the garden with the design of the house. Many busy homeowners also request for low-maintenance schemes to maximise quality time with their families.

This garden is a striking example of small garden design in Wimbledon, creating a multi-purpose living extension that complements the property. A playhouse and an entertainment area, in contrasting tones and styles, are the two main features of the scheme.

Eye-catching colour and contrast heighten the sense of joy and activity in this lively space. The funky colour scheme featured the striking colours of the nearby All-England Lawn tennis Club (purple and dark green), as the client had requested.

The charming cottage and artificial lawn provide engaging play zones for the young family. The purple, wooden house serves as the main focal point of the scheme, providing the children with endless hours of sensory, stimulating play. The purple colour theme is extended to the perimeter wooden fencing, adding another whimsical element to this playful design.
For the entire family's use and for maximum functionality, the garden also features a sleek limestone terrace, which is enhanced by a lovely seating area. The terrace consists of an L-shaped raised bed with limestone seating, and is integrated with a distinctive BBQ/gel fire/log fire combination at one end. The minimal design of this area creates an attractive contrast to the quaintness of the purple playhouse. The modern outlook of the terrace likewise is in keeping with the design of the property. We were careful to have the finish of the garden very highly specified and detailed in accordance with the client's gorgeous contemporary property.

The client also requested low-maintenance features to suit her lifestyle. An artificial lawn supplied by Namgrass was laid, for easy upkeep and as a safe play ground for children. Evergreen planting was combined with beautiful pink and red flowers for seasonal interest.

At night, strategic overhead lighting bathes the whole garden with illumination, complementing the fire pit, and creating a dramatic evening environment for the family.
