‘ We’re outside DAY AND NIGHT’

Charlotte has linked her interior space to the garden with a combination of raised decking, planting and smart styling

SUN TRAP

‘I’m really pleased with the raised decking. It makes good use of the space and is a lovely spot for relaxing’

IN THE SWING ‘

A great place to chill, the rattan swing seat is comfortable and in a lovely shady spot’

IDEA TO STEAL

‘Choose lightweight garden furniture so it’s easy to move around to switch up your space’

COME ON IN!

ABOUT ME I’m Charlotte Evans and I run Betty’s Barn Interiors (@bettys_barn_interiors). I live here with my partner, Andrew, and my two sons, Alfie, 19, and Ned, 13. We live in a six-bedroom new-build house in Oxfordshire with Harvey, our fox red labrador.

MY CHALLENGE Our garden was an open space without any real structure. We wanted to put our own stamp on it and create different zoned areas for relaxing as a family and socialising with friends.

MY WISH LIST To improve the soil and lawn, and have an attractive, relaxing space with some of our favourite plants becoming focal points around the garden.
