Apartment living is becoming a popular way of life in Australia. If you’re living in an apartment or townhouse and wondering how to bring your courtyard to life, we have some great ideas for you.

Vertical garden

A vertical garden is a great way to add colour and vibrancy to your courtyard without taking up floor space. This inexpensive way will require minimal maintenance and allows you more space to work with rather than taking up room on the ground.

Artificial grass

You’ll find artificial grass in some of the coolest cafes and bars around the big cities, so why not in your home? You can get artificial grass that is not far from the real deal, and the best part? Low maintenance of course.

Built in furniture

How about built in furniture for storage space? If you have a small space to work with then built in furniture could be the way for you. This option allows for you to maximise space for everyday living and then bring out extra chairs for visitors, toys for little ones or you can tuck away your decorative cushions in rainy weather.

Removable furniture

Lightweight furniture is not only budget friendly, but it is also great for everyday living. Keep the furniture for your coffee dates, and then when you’re hosting a party, replace the lightweight removable furniture with a trestle table. You can cover up and decorate a trestle table beautifully, no one will ever have to know!

Bifold doors

This is for the more serious renovators and the best way to expand your space and bring your outside in. Installing French or bifold doors into your home will significantly increase the size between your living room and outdoor area.

Our Concierge specialists can arrange free quotes from licensed and trustworthy tradespeople. If you’re thinking about starting some maintenance or renovation work, click here to get started, or call 1300 729 944.
