roof garden ideas for your glasgow city centre home

  1. Invest in comfortable seating for your roof terrace

Firstly we would begin proceedings by searching for the best chairs and coffee table options for your seating area. Think comfort and convenience, you don’t want to have too much effort getting out of your lounging position.

Take the above image for example, this sleek rooftop garden uses wooden decking and grey padded seats with extended widths on arm rests to place drinks. All of which is complemented by potted plants and shrubbery to add a little greenery to the area.

This is the ideal inspiration if you’re looking to keep things minimal. Otherwise go wild with L shaped couches, hammocks and more if you’re looking to be a little bold.
