Even if you don't have any outdoor space, you can bring garden style inside with these nifty ideas
There are many good things about living in a flat, not least the fact they tend to be more affordable. But one downside can be a lack of outdoor space. If you’re craving a garden or terrace now that the days are growing longer and milder, here are a few ways to cheat and introduce some life-affirming greenery into your abode. OK, you may not be able to recreate a full-stretch English lawn, complete with water feature and rose garden, but if you’re clever, you can add a lush, leafy atmosphere to any space, however small.
Line your windows
One of the things those without gardens often miss is simply enjoying a leafy view from the inside. However, curating a line of potted plants near a large window can provide a ‘green fix’.
Pick a variety of different-shaped foliage for a lush, garden-like feel, and don’t forget to include blooms. Put potted flowers high up on shelves and cut flowers on tables to weave in pretty shots of colour.
Double up
If you have access to any downstairs exterior space, however miserly, try this. Position potted plants either side of a window, both indoors and out, to add leafy depth. Even if your window only looks onto a light well, balcony or communal courtyard or alley, it will create the illusion of a secret garden oasis, as your eye is led beyond the glass.
Choose botanical wallpaper
If house plants aren’t for you, a simple wall of botanical wallpaper can still bring welcome greenery into an apartment. It may not beat an actual stroll in the forest, but it’s surprisingly uplifting.
…Or frame a window
Two large leafy plants either side of a window add a conservatory feel and will ‘green up’ the most urban of flats. Choose varieties with a tree-like shape, the taller the better, and put them in matching pots. Leave windows free of dressings to maximize natural light.
Boost your balcony
If your flat doesn’t have a garden, but you’re lucky enough to have a balcony, don’t miss the opportunity to fill it with greenery. Choose plants that will thrive in pots and pack as much in as possible. Give it all some structure with evergreen plants, such as bay trees, and add seasonal flowers for colour.
Love a living wall
Living walls or vertical gardens are growing in popularity, and can be used inside as well as out. They have real wow-factor, providing a ‘sweep’ of foliage that feels modern, arty and fresh.
Get professional advice on which plants to choose, and how best to care for them, so your wall continues to thrive.
