Everyone dreams of having a Beautiful home - their dream home! It usually comprises of a big house, a swimming pool and an amazing Garden. Well, its not possible if you dont plan it all before you begin. So, lets just take a look at a few of the Best Landscape design practices that you could employ when planning out the Landscape of your Garden: Do the right things at the right places One of the most important facts that you should know about when designing your Garden be it the front yard or the back yard is that of striking a balance. Your Garden is going to look good only if everything is done in a sort of proportion. You can plant beds of flowers and surround them by rocky borders on either side as these look really good and are quite popular. However, this looks good only when done along the pathway and not in the centre of your Garden. Symmetrical and Asymmetrical balance Most homes have Gardens wherein they have symmetrical balance. However, if you want your Garden to be unique you should try and plan it in such a way that your Garden isnt symmetrical; but at the same time looks great and strikes a balance. All that you need to strike a balance is the right plants, rocks and water bodies. In some cases you should even consider planting small trees as a combination of these elements adds beauty to your Garden. Colour combinations When it comes to Gardens flowering plants are always a part of the Landscape. However, apart from flowering plants you should also try and plant some fancy plants that have colourful leaves. One of the Best things to do is choose around two or three colours and repeat them all around the Garden as this offers a sense of continuity and your Garden looks great and at the same time not cluttered. Therefore, sticking to a few colours is one of the most important points to note when it comes to successful landscaping. Water bodies There are plenty of different kinds of water bodies that you could install in your Gardens. Take a look at the various options that would suit your Garden considering your budget and the space available. Once you decide what you need you could go ahead and buy yourself a kit and install it on your Garden within a few hours.

As glamorous Bathrooms become more and more desirable, their inclusion in a home inevitably adds to the value of the property. It was not long ago that the idea of an en-suite Bathroom to a master bedroom was exceptional and decadent. Nowadays it is a requirement for many. Conversely when viewing a prospective property to purchase, the sight of a dirty Bathroom with stains under the taps and mould in the grout lines is a real turn-off. One nice trick that can be learned from the boutique hotel is the giant headboard. Where a bedroom is large enough to move the bed away from the wall, it is possible to build a freestanding wall that can act as a headboard (often containing bespoke bedside units with reading lights and recesses for books or a glass of water). In the space behind, fit a small en-suite Bathroom, possibly with a walk-in shower entered from one side and a WC and basin from the other. Many older houses have very large bedrooms, often with great high ceiling, but most will not have an en-suite Bathroom as this was not a common feature of the day. By building a wall that can act as a headboard, a cool shower-room/ Bathroom can be accommodated elegantly within the room space. Sliding frosted glass doors add privacy if required. The first and most fundamental thing to get right once you have found your space is the arrangement of elements within, Bathrooms do not have to be large (although more space can certainly add to the sense of luxury), but even if space is restricted it is vital to keep the lines simple and to maximise the sense of unity. A common mistake is to try to cram too much into a small Bathroom. If you cannot choose between a bath and shower, dont try to squash in both, but find an elegant way (there are many) of using the bath as the shower tray. Resist the temptation to squeeze in a bidet between the basin and WC unless there is genuinely plenty of room. Twin basins are great, unless they have to be small and close together - much better to include one large basin with bespoke floating cabinet and everything will feel larger. Builders will often say that you cant put a Bathroom here or there because of the plumbing. There is always a way to solve the plumbing: work out where the Bathroom will work best and stick to your guns. Lovely Bathroom sparkle, so the lighting has to be right. Simple recessed low-voltage halogen down-lighters are yet to be matched for their light quality in the Bathrooms. Select the enclosed type suitable for Bathroom use.
