Pimp your back yard

Is your backyard lifeless, full of dying plants and a struggling garden?
Get inspired by these gorgeous patios to breath life into your own space and make it a haven for you, your children and guests.

This owner decided to focus on lots of grass and plants (they probably have lots of kids and dogs :-))

I love the size of this backyard, and its simplicity. It is the kind of place to throw a sun downer, or have a Sunday barbecue.

 Who said the space outside can't have colour?

The owner of this house clearly knows hot to balance between space for riding the trike, for mommy and guests to have a cuppa and for the dog to roll on the grass.

And who needs a hotel dinner reservation when you got this. Friends will be begging to crash at your house.

 More use of accents, and a bit of modern architecture.

The outdoor version of lazy boy.

With all our papyrus, all you need is cosy pillows and an extension of your veranda and bum! Oh, and a fire place and plants.

Proof that your backyard does not have to be huge to be gorgeous.

A totally doable Nairobi version.
