Front Doors And Lavender Paths = YUMMY!
If there’s one Modern Country look that never seems to date, never seems tired, never gets old, it’s this: banks of lavender leading up to a gorgeously muted front door.

| Try Little Greene Juniper Ash, Zoffany Sung Mauve, Fired Earth Sea Lavender, Fired Earth Gentian Violet; a beautiful Modern Country planting scheme with four clipped box hedges enclosing swathes of lavender with box balls nestled within; you can never go wrong with lavender leading up to a front door; two standard topiary trees standing as sentinels either side of a door looks da bomb |
Lavender-lined paths are seen the world over but especially here in the rolling Cotswolds; stopping to sweep my hand past swathes of lavender is one of life’s great pleasures.
The scene is set to perfection when combined with other greenery, whether that’s a climber such as hydrangea petiolaris scaling the stone walls…
…or simply a front door flanked by two lollipop sentinels…
…or even, if you have the space, lavender plants interspersed with other topiary…
Yes, whether you have an old country pile…
…a lovely new-build…
…a gorgeous Georgian home like me….
…this is one look that most definitely isn’t going anywhere.
BUT, ever the realist, what if you don’t have oodles of front garden space to trace out yards of lavender loveliness?? What’s a girl to do if she really, really, reeeeaaalllly wants this look?
Come back next time, my sweets, and I’ll let you into a few of my secrets…
Until then, take extra care of yourselves,
