Into the Night

Into the Night

By Francesca McGlone on 3rd September, 2010

Garden studios are extremely adaptable in terms of their use. As autumn approaches and the dark nights draw in, a nocturnal existence seems to form more of the day as the Christmas merriment edges into the collective consciousness.

Just as we change pace from day to night, shedding responsible personas as busy professionals or parents, either winding down or preparing to reawaken into party; the studio space can also transform to accommodate different uses. The contrasting light and darkness of day and night reflect the two distinct halves in which we operate. The location of the garden studio means that a private party or gathering can be hosted in the grounds of your home but away from the main building. Any party debris can then be contained within the studio and not disrupt the living area of the main house, while the garden can act as a staging area for guests to mingle.

Smokers can also make use of the garden space that sits on the door step and is very much part of the studio space, so that there is less sense of separation between smokers and non-smokers, as the glass panels in the building provide transparent windows that ensure inclusivity. A garden setting also means that the dazzling display of the moon and stars overhead can become part of the celebrations, while acting as natural illuminators.

Outdoor lighting can make an outdoor space fit for celebration. Led floor lights can be installed into the decking that surrounds a garden studio, creating a studded walkway that welcomes luminary guests and mimicking the bulbs that surround a mirror with an air of showbiz glamour that adds to any party atmosphere. Lanterns can also be hung around the garden space, adding ornate blazes that create pools of soft light and conversational gathering places for guests. If your garden has a pond, underwater lighting can be installed, making the water sparkle in a series of glitzy and relaxing reflections.

A garden studio that has a luxurious interior and sleek finish will go far to impress guests and make a perfect area, in which to showcase and toast to the night time beauty of nature.
