Indeed, garden inspiration can often lead to bigger home improvement ideas! So, did you know that you can make use of your side return in many ways? But if an extension isn't on your home improvement wish list, then transforming this space into a natural extension of your garden is a must. The added bonus, on top of the brilliant use of fairly dead space, is that it will feel really cosy and intimate. Add a roof, make a small garden coffee table the centrepiece, gather round your favourite chairs and just add foliage for your own piece of paradise.
