So, what is the ‘it’ garden trend for spring 2023, and how can you achieve it in your own space?
Introducing, the ‘Glam Garden’. No, we’re not talking about rhinestones, leopard print, and neon pink. Think more Kardashian-esque - chic, neutral, modern – refined luxury. Harbour Lifestyle, the luxury living brand, is here to unveil how you can achieve an alfresco space that Kris Jenner would be proud of in just three simple steps - without having to outsource your furnishings from Calabasas.
Step One – Refine Your Colour Palette.
The Kardashians may all have slightly differing personal styles, but they do have one thing in common – their garden colour palettes. Neutral, natural, and organic are words that spring to mind, with browns, creams, blacks, and beiges taking centre stage. This also translates into the materials used in these spaces, with wood, rattan, linen, metal, and stone proving popular choices.
To reflect this into your own outdoor area, it’s time to refine. There is no time like the present to take advantage of the mild weather and begin planning your summer investments. So, get ready to donate those chevron sun loungers you have had for years, and that baby blue bistro table that has probably passed its time – you’re going to need some showstopper space.
Step Two - Prioritise social spaces.
If you are anything like Kim and the gang, your home will always be filled with company. Whether you have family constantly visiting, guests to impress, or a full-to-the-brim social calendar, your alfresco space needs to be ready to host at all times.
Take a leaf from Kourtney Kardashian’s book and dedicate secluded spaces in your garden to dining. Whether you transform a smaller corner into a romantic date night dinner spot, or choose to convert your patio space to an outdoor dining room – your choices in furnishings and accessories can make the difference between a lavish L.A. inspired space, and an ordinary garden.
For your summer soirees, you are sure to need a larger table (and lots of seating) to host all of your esteemed guests. Opt for a rectangular teak dining table with rounded edges to create a laidback luxury display.
Most importantly, you should consider how your guests will feel when they are seated at the table. Always ensure the chairs have sufficient padding and structure so your guests can focus on your delicious delicacies, not how much they want to go home.
Step three – Accessorise.
Just as no outfit is complete without jewellery or a watch – no alfresco space is complete without accessories. To ensure your space is fully dressed, you need to consider the finer details within every zone – from dining, to social seating, to casual lounging. A Kardashian garden is fit for every purpose and eventuality.
In your social seating and lounging areas, always consider the weather and how it will affect your soiree. Consider adding sufficient cover, such as a gazebo or pergola, to shelter your space from the elements. Underneath your shelter, create a cosy sanctuary by including additional luxuries for your guests to enjoy.
A Kardashian garden is, above all else, a well put together space that is ready for any calendar event. So, with these top three expert tips on achieving a chicly refined, Kardashian style alfresco space, all that’s left to do is select your furniture pieces, choose your accessories, and get styling!
