7. In a Garden
Demarcate a zone for an outdoor lounge by tiling a section of your lawn. Include a fireplace as the focal point to create a space that you can enjoy all year round. To maximise design efficiency, consider installing a double-sided fireplace – one that is also accessible from inside and uses the same chimney.
