FULHAM GREEN NOOK

A small pocket garden in Fulham has been reimagined into a tranquil green retreat. Every material has been thoughtfully selected, with paving in soft neutral tones of cream and light grey laid in a distinctive pattern. The step leading down from the kitchen is built from pale stone stackers that harmonize beautifully with the paving. At the back, evergreen espaliers provide structure, height, and screening, while a striking multi-stem Japanese maple in the left-hand corner brings sculptural presence and creates a cosy nook beneath its canopy—perfect for perching on a footstool. Modern slatted fencing frames the space, softened by climbers such as evergreen jasmine weaving their way upwards. At the right, the dining area features a deep, bespoke floating bench paired with a concrete dining table and elegant chairs. A pergola overhead is draped with rambling roses and wisteria, with a statement pendant light suspended above the center of the table to set the mood. In the far-right corner, an evergreen multi-stem tree adds depth and softens the view of the house wall. On the left, a sleek outdoor kitchen with a gas barbecue and integrated storage is topped with a mirror flanked by lanterns, creating the feel of an outdoor room. The planting is lush and textural, with layers of evergreen structure—Pittosporum nanum spheres, espaliers, and jasmine—providing year-round interest. White hydrangeas rise elegantly through the greenery, adding height, seasonal drama, and a touch of romance to this refined city sanctuary.
