Blog Privacy Screens Ideas

History tells us that the Ancient Egyptians likely oversaw the creation of the first enclosed outdoor spaces created purely for aesthetic value, a precursor to the modern garden as a concept. And yet, while the emphasis has always been on creating something attractive to look at, it has also been important that prying eyes are kept out where necessary with the addition of privacy screening ideas. In modern society, privacy screening may present itself in the form of a simple garden fence or wall, or in the case of indoor dividers, perhaps a single-color fabric screen. But these can prove to be largely uninspiring, bland and repetitive in a ...

When I was a kid, you didn’t say artificial grass, you said Astroturf. It sounded quite exotic but that’s pretty much where the romance ended. It got its name from its first appearance in the Houston Astrodome, an indoor sports stadium where the original real grass surface had given up the ghost when glare-reducing paint had been applied to the enormous glass roof. A season spent playing on dead grass and rock-hard soil had made it clear that artificial was definitely better than nothing. The new "turf” soon spread to other indoor sports venues around the world. It began to replace grass outdoors too. It was practical, functional...

Vertical gardens feel like a very twenty-first century invention. And the reason why you are increasingly likely to come across them in the media, down the high street and in your landscaper’s plans is that they’re a very good solution to twenty-first century problems. As cities, towns and suburbia become increasingly crowded and multiple homes and apartments are shoehorned into plots where previously, perhaps, there was only one residence, the possibility of incorporating anything more than the minimum of grass, trees and planting into such schemes becomes vanishingly small. It is not unusual nowadays to find back gardens of new-build...

Increasingly, the influence of the built environment on human behaviour, health and well-being is being recognised. While our ideal surroundings might arguably be something constructed of completely natural materials—all cob houses, vegetable patches and baked-earth bricks—this obviously isn’t practicable in urban areas, where even a tree might be a rare sight and difficult to, if you’ll excuse the mechanical parlance, retro-fit. So the question is, Is it possible that, in these environments, an faux artificial green wall or faux artificial hedge might play its part in improving health and happiness? Well, let’s see. First...

Do your walls ever feel well…a bit flat? Painted walls will never fall out of favour, but while they are, of course, ideal for a minimalist, pared-back interior, they don’t offer much character. In fact, that’s the point; a painted wall is not really there to create impact, merely to allow other features of the room to stand out. If you have a small living area, without much room for the elegant touches that make a place feel like home, in a bid to put your stamp on a room, you’ve possibly contemplated wallpaper. It has a long and noble history (having first appeared in the sixteenth century in this country) but has never reall...
