A Joyful Garden Full of Colour and Character

Set within an irregular footprint in Barnes, this garden has been reimagined as a vibrant, expressive outdoor space, one that balances structure with softness and celebrates colour, texture and personality.

​

The design responds directly to the geometry of the plot, using angled lines and layered planting to create rhythm and movement throughout the space. A series of defined yet fluid zones unfold across the garden, including a central seating area positioned against a striking Tobias feature wall,  anchoring the space while providing a warm, textural backdrop.

​

Planting is deliberately generous and immersive. A mix of Salvia, Helenium, Sedum and ornamental grasses creates a naturalistic, evolving scheme that delivers interest across the seasons, softening boundaries and bringing a sense of abundance.

​

Terracotta pots and sculptural elements introduce warmth and form, while a decorative mirror reflects light and planting, subtly expanding the sense of space. As evening falls, discreet lighting brings the garden to life in a more atmospheric way, highlighting key features and extending its usability.

​

Recently featured in House & Garden, this project captures a more playful, characterful approach to garden design - one that feels both considered and deeply personal.
