2. Hire a gardener

Don't neglect your vegetation – even if you don't have time to tend to it. Hire a gardener if you can… even once or twice a month will make a huge difference.

3. Fairytale lights

Turn your patio into a dream land with bright, colourful LED lights. Twirl them around a tree or hang them from a pergola for the full fairytale effect.

4. Small flower pots

Creating a miniature garden is one of the cheapest ways to jazz up your patio. Break the rules a little and mix shrubs, flowers, pots and tiny flower beds to create a tiny patch of colour that is truly unique.

5. Hanging ornaments

Make the most of the trees in your garden by building a patio among them. Then, hang metallic figures, lanterns, recycled bottles and other ornaments from the branches to create a magical atmosphere.

6. Planting and patience

Be patient – a verdant patio takes time and planning. Plan and plant the surrounding flowerbeds with perennials that will row and develop throughout the year – they'll change and mature as your garden does!

7. Add a hammock

Nothing says relaxation like a hammock! It's not just comfortable – it's a functional piece of furniture and also a design piece. Just remember to secure it tight…

8. Garden furniture

Garden furniture can be expensive, so try to seek out stylish second hand pieces that will make your patio look chic and unique on a budget.

9. Miniature flowerpots

Purchase some cute little pots and plant a selection of hardy flowers for year-round patio glamour.
