COURTYARD GARDEN IDEAS WITH LIVINGETC HOUSE TOURS

When exploring some beautiful London homes on the Livingetc house tours with ao, we stepped upon this little slice of magic tucked behind the mint stable doors of this side street mews. Nothing quite prepared me for the treasures it held as we wandered through the open of doors of this fab fabric designer's home. With a courtyard garden to die for and every room opening out onto this secluded garden with hints of the Med, it was easy to forget I was standing in the heart of the city.

I'm always creepin' on courtyard garden ideas as my desire for an outside space continues, so when I'm not filling up Pinterest boards I love having a nosey around real life spaces. The best thing about this house is how the courtyard garden is almost the heart of the home, as the L-shape house wraps around it. There are various seating areas and the view from the crittell kitchen windows  are stunning.

Every corner is filled with climbing ivy or tumbling ferns stacked and layered to create depth amongst all the green. I love the potted succulents and the use of terracotta, tin and cement planters to give of earthy tones and keep that Mediterranean feel. There are a few seperate seating areas, perfect for pitdoor dining and I couldn't get enough of the white wire seats, they are so cool and remind me a little of Bri from Designlovefest's L.A home.

I loved these gorgeous antique mirrors mounted on the wall in the corner of the courtyard garden, this fab feature reflects all the light and always goof for a cheeky pic ;) For those of you who wondering how to create more space, hanging an external mirror can really create the illusion of a bigger outdoor area and create a chic look to your home.

The interior was just as cosy and unique as the outside, although you'll have to wait until the new issue of LivingEtc to see it in full. If you're looking for more outdoor spaces and courtyard garden ideas then check out my board for inspiration.

  2. Oh heavenly! I think mirrors in gardens are such a cool idea for making the space look bigger (and a bit magical too) xx
