A summerhouse is something that can really add another level of pleasure to the garden. There are so many styles and designs around that you will be able to find one for most garden styles, sizes and layouts. Have a look at gardens that are similar to yours that have summerhouses in them for inspiration.

When it comes to creating the perfect interior of the summerhouse, there are two main things to consider – the size of the structure and what you would most like to use it for. Furnish it with comfy cushions and seating if you want a place for an afternoon siesta, or to enjoy a book. Maybe you want to spend some time doing crafts whilst surrounded by the beautiful garden and protected from the elements. Or perhaps you like to entertain, so you could consider making it in the style of a bar. It really is down to your own personal choice.

For the exterior, you can create a wild and natural look – grow ivy up it which is a great evergreen plant which is hardy too, and in the summer growing climbing plants like honeysuckle up it is also a great way to incorporate it into the garden. You can also add some pretty solar lights which look beautiful once the sun goes down.
