Luxurious Indoor Courtyard Makeover

I’m ready to transform the indoor courtyard at the heart of my home into a luxurious, modern-minimalist retreat. Think clean architectural lines softened by generous greenery: built-in planters that let my mother swap flowers whenever she feels inspired, layered with statement foliage for year-round colour and texture.

A single, spacious lounge setting will anchor the space—low, sculptural seating and a sleek coffee table that invite long conversations with friends yet can be slid aside quickly to reveal an open area large enough for a buffet spread when we entertain. Subtle, warm-tone lighting woven through planter edges and recessed along pathways should keep the courtyard welcoming well into the evening without breaking the minimalist aesthetic.

What I need from you
• Concept mood board capturing the overall style, colour palette, materials and key plants
• Scaled layout plan showing planter placement, circulation flow, and furniture arrangement with clear allowance for the buffet zone
• 3D visualisations or rendered perspectives so I can feel the ambience before committing
• A concise specification sheet for plants, furniture, finishes and lighting fixtures—everything readily sourced or with clear alternatives

I’ll review each stage for feedback, aiming for a design that feels effortlessly sophisticated, lush yet uncluttered, and perfectly suited to relaxed gatherings.
