If you’re looking for creative ideas to take your lawn to the next level, you’re in the right place! We’ve put together five of our favourite creative lawn design ideas to help inspire you with ideas for your own garden! 

Creative Lawn Design Ideas

1) Grass steps

If you’re looking for bold strokes, what could be more daring than grass steps? Grass steps are a great option for those looking to cultivate a more natural and organic look to their garden. Of course, this concept isn’t limited to just steps; if you so wished, you could also use the same principle to add grassy ramps or banks!

If you don’t have any elevated spaces in your garden to add grass steps to, you could also add a grass stepping stones to create a similar aesthetic.

2) Living Wall

Living walls are a popular option for those with small outdoor spaces and have to make the most of what space they do have. Mounting gardening pots onto walls can free up floor space, allowing you more rooms to grow, all while adding a unique aesthetic!

Living walls are also a great option if you’re looking to achieve a more eclectic or maximalist vibe in your garden. If for whatever reason you can’t affix pots to the walls of your house of garden, you can also achieve the same effect by tying pots to a pallet propped upright, or why not repurpose an old ladder to create a chic and unique shelfing unit for your plants?

If you’re looking to create a more traditional aesthetic in your lawn whilst also saving space, you could also go for the safer and more classic option of window boxes.

3) Raised Beds

Whether you’re interested in planting beautiful flowers or growing your own produce, raised garden beds are perfect for a number of reasons! If your lawn doesn’t have enough grass space for planting, adding a raised bed gives you the option to grow plants without sacrificing precious grass space.

In a practical sense, raised garden beds also give you the opportunity to use a different soil type to your garden, giving you the flexibility to grow a wide range of things!

And of course, we can’t overlook the stunning aesthetic of raised garden beds. They bring that certain je ne sais quoi to your garden, and are ideal of you’re looking for a lived-in and well-loved vibe for your garden.

4) Climbing Plants

Climbing plants have numerous benefits and can be used in many different ways, depending on the end-result you’re looking for in your garden. Climbing plants can be used to add a splash of colour to your garden, and there’s no denying that climbers are one of the most classically beautiful elements you can add to your garden to take its beauty to the next level!

5) Accessories

Whilst this one of the less remarkable and more obvious ways you can elevate your garden, it wouldn’t be a lawn design blog if we didn’t talk about the effects of various garden accessories. Garden accessories can include a wide variety of things, including garden mirrors, fairy lights, hanging planters, water features, stone edging, and statues - to name just a few!

The finishing touches you add to you garden really are the cherry on top of the proverbial cake and play a massive part in tying everything together. They can complete the aesthetic and style you’ve been working towards with your other garden alterations.
