If you work from home, you have the advantage of being able to spend more time in your garden during your breaks, even if you’re just taking a long lunch. So, it makes sense to ensure your garden is somewhere you can relax and recharge before getting back to work. Here are some ways to improve your outdoor space.
Use lighting
Outdoor lighting can transform the atmosphere of your garden, making you feel more relaxed. With Ultra LEDs, you can get a string light kit for festoon lights in the length you need between 5 and 50 metres. So, whatever size garden you have, you will find something that makes your outdoor space look amazing.
There’s also a range of indoor LED lighting, in case you feel like transforming the inside of your home and workspace too. Getting the right lighting can help productivity, so it’s worth considering.
Get the family to help with gardening
By getting the whole family to join in with gardening, you can spend quality time together, teach your children gardening skills, and save money on hiring a professional. You’ll also have a nicer garden to spend time in between working and to enjoy leisure time with your friends and family.
Garden decorations
Garden decorations can add the perfect finishing touch to your garden. They work well with outdoor lighting too, because you place the ornaments and other decorations strategically around the garden, so the lighting draws attention to them.
There are so many choices of garden decorations, from traditional gnomes to ornamental flowers and butterflies. Whatever theme or colour scheme you want in your garden, you’ll find something to match.
Have a corner you can work in
Even if you have a small garden, you can create a corner to work in when the weather is nice. This provides a welcome change to working in your home office and might help you be more productive.
If you have a larger garden and find your home distracting at certain times, when your family are around, you could build or convert an existing shed to make a small home office at the bottom of your garden. You can opt for windows to bring in natural daylight, or if this doesn’t provide enough light, you can use LED lighting to make it bright enough to work, without making your new workspace so bright it becomes distracting.
Plant trees
If your garden lacks privacy, or your home office looks out onto busy traffic, this might not be so inspiring when you’re trying to work. By planting trees in your garden, they can help to create some privacy for you, may be more inspirational to look at than some of the busy city life around you, and are great for the environment too.
Working from home doesn’t have to mean locking yourself away in your office. You can make the most of your short breaks throughout the day to enjoy your garden. That’s why creating a space you can sit and sometimes work in is important. Outdoor lighting can be a part of that.
