Garden rooms and indoor–outdoor spaces are becoming very popular in homes today. They blur the line between house and garden, creating flexible spaces for busy lives, be it for relaxing, working or entertaining. Plain White, design by Edward Bulmer at a beautiful Ludlow property. White remains a timeless choice for outdoor woodwork, reflecting light beautifully while offering a crisp, traditional contrast to natural surroundings. At Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, we particularly love spaces that feel connected to nature. Our natural, breathable paints respond to changing light and help create a seamless flow between interiors and outdoors. With over 25 greens to choose from, our natural palette is the perfect choice for garden rooms. This soft, subtle shade sits comfortably alongside plants and greenery, helping walls and woodwork blend into the landscape rather than stand out. It creates a calm, cohesive look that enhances the connection to the garden. Interior designer Sarah Vanrenen of Vanrenen Hanbury has created the ultimate entertaining space in her outdoor Garden Room. She has used Invisible Green in it forming a continuation of the lawns all around it. Garden Room. Sarah Vanrenen Ltd. Photography: David Parmiter. Also seen above. Garden Room. Sarah Vanrenen Ltd. Photography: David Parmiter When designing an indoor–outdoor space, focus on continuity. Use natural materials, soft textures, and colours that reflect the environment outside. Our breathable paint performs well in these transitional areas, allowing surfaces to adapt to temperature and moisture changes. You don’t need a dedicated garden room to achieve this feeling. Painting your kitchen in a beautiful, natural green such as Olympian Green, can instantly create an outside-in atmosphere. Pair it with plenty of plants, natural materials, and open shelving to echo the garden beyond. On warmer days, throw open the doors and let the garden in. Fresh air, greenery, and soft natural colour work together to blur boundaries, making your kitchen feel like an extension of the outdoors. Interior designer Carlos Garcia has produced this effect to perfection in his countryside kitchen. Olympian Green. Credit: Carlos Garcia Interiors Olympian Green.

This beautifully crafted Herefordshire treehouse is tucked away in the woods, surrounded by greenery and dappled light.
