Growing Greener with Charles & Ivy

Growing Greener with Charles & Ivy

At Charles & Ivy, we believe style and sustainability can grow side by side. As we design and deliver elegant decorative screens, planters, fencing and more; we’re constantly finding new ways to reduce our environmental impact.  Here are four key ways we’re striving to make our brand more environmentally conscious. Wildlife Consideration Hedgehog Highway One issue that many species face is limited access to natural habitats. Our fencing can be installed with wildlife in mind, including dedicated hedgehog holes to help these endangered creatures roam freely between gardens. Small gestures like these can make a big difference in supporting local biodiversity. As well as providing passageways for wildlife, purchasing our composite fences can do wonders for the environment. You don’t need to paint, stain, or varnish composite wood, all of which leak damaging chemicals into the ground, thus causing harm to animals’ habitats.  We’re determined to carry on taking wildlife into consideration by creating wild-life friendly garden solutions, join us in supporting the habitat of our little friends.  Sustainable Delivery Practices  With our own fleet of delivery vans, we can carefully plan routes to reduce fuel use. We aim to optimise route planning, ensuring we can plan delivery routes efficiently, reducing miles driven and fuel used. This results in fewer emissions and less congestion.  Our packaging is purposefully chosen to minimise waste and environmental impact. Our in-house delivery allows better control over how products are packed and our packaging is recyclable, minimal, reusable and transported efficiently.  Every step of the journey - from our warehouse to your garden - is designed with the planet in mind. At Charles and Ivy we don’t just aim to deliver products, but sustainability too.  Recycled Materials  Our composite screening and decorative panels are made using recycled plastics and sustainably sourced wood fibres. We aim to repurpose waste materials, giving them a second life in a durable product.  The result? Beautiful, durable materials that help prevent plastic waste from ending up in landfills or oceans. The longevity means our products don’t need to be replaced often, reducing consumption and waste over time.  Bespoke made to measure to reduce waste  Mass production often means excess. That’s why Charles & Ivy products are made to measure whenever possible - so you get exactly what you need and nothing more. We offer bespoke sizing across all products encouraging mindful production.  Custom sizing reduces offcuts and landfill waste, while ensuring a perfect fit for your space. Smart design, less waste, and a cleaner conscience. Built to last and environmentally considerate, our products' longevity minimises the need for replacements, reducing waste.  Caring for the environment is rooted in everything we do. From creating safe spaces for wildlife to reducing emissions with smarter delivery, we’re committed to making greener choices that grow with your garden.

Give Your Home the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Look with Charles & Ivy

Give Your Home the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Look with Charles & Ivy

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is the pinnacle of garden design - a showcase of creativity, planting mastery, and stylish outdoor living. At Charles & Ivy, we believe that kind of beauty and function shouldn’t just be for show gardens. With the right products and a little inspiration, you can bring that same refined look into your own home and garden. 1. Create Structure with Statement Planters One of the standout features of Chelsea gardens is their clear structure and balance. Planters aren't just practical, they're a key part of the exterior design. Use tall, decorative planters from Charles & Ivy to define areas, frame doorways, or add height variation to borders. Choose from a variety of planters in stylish finishes that complement both modern and classic homes. Filled with seasonal favourites or lush evergreens, they bring instant elegance and a curated feel. 2. Blend Privacy with Greenery Using Modular Screens At Chelsea Flower Show privacy isn’t created with blank walls, it’s done with thoughtful screening and clever planting. Our decorative screened fencing offers a modern solution that combines function with design. Whether you're zoning off a seating area or shielding a space from view, our screens give you that clean, garden-designer aesthetic. Add climbing plants or position behind potted greenery to soften and naturalise the look. 3. Go Vertical: Add Height and Interest with Decorative Panels A signature of Chelsea gardens is their use of vertical space — not just for function, but for beauty. Charles & Ivy decorative panels make it easy to train climbers like clematis or jasmine, while also giving your outdoor space a sense of elevation and style. Installed against walls or fencing, they invite nature to grow upwards and give a layered, immersive effect that feels lush and luxurious. 4. Keep It Cohesive with Coordinated Finishes Chelsea gardens are never cluttered as they're unified by consistent materials and colour palettes. Charles & Ivy products are designed with coordination in mind, so your screens, planters, and trellis panels work together seamlessly. Our sleek designs carry through our fencing, planter and screen collections ensuring consistency throughout your home.  Choose contemporary greys that let the planting shine while giving your garden that professional, pulled-together look.

As well as adding more life to your garden, plants are said to have multiple health benefits, such as bettering your mood and releasing stress. With endless opportunities to enhance your garden, adding plants will ensure relaxation and create the perfect escape.  For a blend of nature and decoration, add our planters to your space.

Begin by choosing a designated space in your garden that offers tranquility, whether it’s a quiet corner, a shaded area under a tree, or a sunny spot by a flower bed.  Add comfortable seating like lounge chairs or a garden bench where you can unwind, read, or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. The goal is to create a space that encourages calmness and invites you to spend more time outdoors. Include an outdoor dining space  Spring is the perfect time to enjoy more time outdoors with family and friends!  Welcome guests with an outdoor dining area, adding seating and garden decor for the perfect al fresco dining location. Create a sleek outdoor kitchen or barbeque area with our Composite Slats, creating texture and adding finer detail to your outdoor space. Plus, accessorising your dining space gives you the freedom to show off your unique style while making your garden feel like a true extension of your home.

How to find the right Driveway Gate for your home

How to find the right Driveway Gate for your home

When enhancing the curb appeal and security of your home, selecting the right driveway gate is a crucial step. With so many styles to choose from, how do you find the right design and finish for you? Take a look at our recommendations to help choose the right driveway gate for your home.  Composite vs Aluminium Gates Composite gates are becoming increasingly popular due to their strength and longevity, offering the aesthetic appeal of wood without the need for regular painting, staining or treating.  Aluminium gates are lightweight and corrosion-resistant; offering a modern and sleek design option. Both materials provide excellent security and can be customised to suit different styles. Whether you prefer the classic look of wood or the contemporary appeal of metal, they’re both a versatile solution that fit a range of preferences and needs. Choosing the Right Style for Your Home When selecting a composite or aluminium driveway gate, the style is key to ensuring it complements the aesthetic of your home. For a more traditional look, composite gates with wood-like finishes can provide the warmth and character of wood without the upkeep. Aluminium gates, with their clean lines and varied finishes, work well for modern or minimalist homes as they offer a sophisticated and stylish appearance. Consider the Size and Layout of Your Driveway The size of your driveway and the layout of your property are essential considerations when choosing a driveway gate.  Double gates are often necessary for driveways, and make it easier to drive your vehicle on and off the driveway. It's important to measure the width of your driveway to ensure that the gate you choose will fit properly, as well as considering the space needed for the gates to open. Charles and Ivy offer a range of sizes to accommodate different driveway dimensions and are all made to order, ensuring that your gate fits seamlessly into your home’s exterior. Security and Functionality One of the primary reasons for installing a driveway gate is to enhance the security of your property. Both composite and aluminium gates offer excellent security features, with durable and strong materials to provide a solid barrier against intruders and protect your home and garden. For added security, automated gates can be controlled remotely, allowing you to open and close your gate with ease without ever having to leave your vehicle.  Charles and Ivy also offers advanced security features such as Digital Smart Handles, making your gate a high-tech and secure solution for your home. Maintenance and Durability One of the major advantages of choosing composite and aluminium gates is their low-maintenance. Unlike traditional wooden gates that require regular staining or painting, composite gates only need an occasional wash with soapy water to keep them looking fresh.  Similarly, aluminium gates are resistant to rust, corrosion and fading. They are built to withstand the elements, ensuring that your investment will last for years without requiring much upkeep.  Plus, all Charles & Ivy gates come with a 20-year warranty guaranteeing long-lasting durability and performance, so you won’t have to worry about regularly replacing gates.  Installation and Customisation When selecting a composite or aluminium gate for your driveway, it's important to consider the installation process and any customisation options. Customisation is also a key benefit when choosing a gate from Charles and Ivy. You can personalise the design with different finishes, colours, and decorative elements to perfectly match your home’s aesthetic.  Whether you’re looking for a traditional look with added decorative panels or a more modern and minimalist design, there’s something to suit every garden. Plus, options for inserted letter boxes, above or below ground automated features and bespoke measurements are also available so you can find the exact specification to suit your needs. Get Inspired Looking for inspiration before upgrading your home? Check out the inspiration page and our Instagram.

5 Outdoor Trends that Boost Property Value

5 Outdoor Trends that Boost Property Value

You may not be thinking about selling your home just yet, but with any improvements you make, how they can boost property value should always be in the back of your mind.  Adding valuable features to your home and garden allows you to maximise your return on investment and increase your equity in the property. It will also help attract more buyers and improve your mortgage options when you do decide to put your home up for sale.  One thing you can do to boost property value is amplify your outdoor space, making it both visually pleasing and functional.  Let’s have a look at property value boosters while exploring the latest outdoor trends.  Pop in a patio  A well-designed patio is more than just an outdoor feature - it’s an extension of your home, adding both functionality and value. Making your garden feel like an additional living area greatly boosts property appeal.  From natural stone to traditional paving, a patio area can transform any garden into an outdoor retreat.  Enhancing the usability of your home is a huge advantage to potential buyers. A well-integrated patio complements the overall landscape and creates a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors.  To boost the aesthetic of a patio, corner off spaces with decorative screen fencing - they don’t just create a dynamic area but also allow light to flow through, adding a point of interest.  Extended living spaces  A repeating trend in the outdoor world is bringing the indoors out. More homeowners than ever are upgrading their gardens into functional extensions of their homes, creating stylish and versatile spaces.  Outdoor kitchens and lounging areas are a great way to do this. Whether it’s a built-in BBQ, pizza oven, or cosy fire pit area, having a space like this means you can host effortlessly or enjoy some quiet time after a busy day.  Why not invest in some outdoor speakers or outdoor furniture to really give it a boost? By investing in an outdoor living space, you’re not only maximising your garden’s potential but also significantly increasing your property’s appeal to potential buyers.  Take your outdoor space to the next level with slat wall panels for a flawless finish. Available in 6 colours, fully weatherproof, and timeless in design, you’re sure to enhance your garden quickly, with minimal fuss.  Fencing that lasts Traditional wooden fencing has its perks, but it doesn’t compare to its composite younger sibling.  Due to its durability, sustainability, and low-maintenance design, composite fencing has become a popular choice among homeowners.  Unlike wood, you don’t have to worry about rotting, moulding, or warping, making it perfect for the ever-changing British weather. From strong winds and heavy rain to scorching sun, the composite will maintain its appearance without fading.  Plus, with a 20-year warranty, you can enjoy long-term value without the headache of replacing or regular painting and staining.  Combined with being an eco-friendly option, this may also appeal to buyers, as they have the promise their fences will last without causing a lasting impact on the environment. Glowing luminance   Lighting can be used to embellish outdoor living spaces and fencing options. It increases curb appeal, enhances safety, and expands outdoor usability. Whether it’s subtle ambient lighting or statement illumination, it’s a quick and more affordable way of elevating the look and feel of your garden.  Here at Charles & Ivy, you have the option to add LUMIfence to your fence panels - a premium LED lighting panel that sits at the top of the fence for an ambient glow. They offer seamless integration and are easy to install, with solar and mains power options available. Enjoy relaxing evenings watching the world go by, or host family parties with a sophisticated atmosphere. This seemingly small addition enhances property appeal while adding practical value to the space.  Maintain your privacy  Boosting the privacy of your garden makes it more comfortable and secure, but it also has a positive effect on property value.  A well-enclosed space enhances the desirability of a home - whether it’s to create a secluded retreat, reduce noise pollution, or add protection, privacy-enhancing features can boost both functionality and the resale value of your home.  From fencing to secure gates, you can create a premium look while deterring unwanted visitors. These features can also lower your insurance premiums, depending on the quality of the gate and surrounding property values.  If you don’t yet have external gates, Charles & Ivy offers a huge range of driveway gates and pedestrian gates that follow garden trends while reinforcing security.  Enhance your home with Charles & Ivy  Whether it’s outdoor spaces or indoor sanctuaries, Charles & Ivy has a wide range of products that perfectly combine aesthetics with functionality.  Browse our selection online, or take a visit to a showroom near you and see our fencing, gates, and wall panels in real-life settings to learn more.

Eco-Friendly Wall Ideas for Sustainable Living

Eco-Friendly Wall Ideas for Sustainable Living

Sustainability is now a lifestyle choice for many, but it can be hard to dig out the winners from the ‘greenwashing’ options.  From the clothes we wear to the walls of our homes, there are now many choices when it comes to sustainability.  Dive into some of our favourites, including some Charles & Ivy exclusives.  Eco-friendly wall panels  Charles & Ivy's eco-friendly wall panels are made from recycled composites and wood fibres.  While they’re eco-friendly, they’re also highly durable and bring aesthetic appeal to any room. Offering excellent heat and sound insulation, you can experience great value for money. Depending on the room and your needs, choose from Insuslat™ (wall panels best suited to bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, and any room that isn’t exposed to water) or Aquaslat™ (waterproof panels that can be used in the bathroom and kitchen).  They can be used on every wall, or as an accent wall or headboard, for added texture and interest.  Recycled metal wall panels  Using repurposed steel or aluminium adds an industrial edge to a wall while supporting the use of recycled materials.  They’re generally low-maintenance and can be used in any room. However, they can amplify sounds, meaning additional acoustic insulation may be needed.  They also need to be professionally installed due to their weight and the need for specialised tools, making it a more expensive option.  Glass tiles  Not only do they give discarded materials a second life, but glass tiles also provide striking visual appeal in your home or garden.  Manufacturing mosaic tiles requires less energy than producing new glass, reducing their environmental footprint. They’re also non-toxic and completely safe, contributing to better indoor air quality.  However, they can be fragile and crack under heavy impact, requiring careful installation and handling. They also take a while to get right, meaning a professional is often needed for placement and adhesion - increasing the overall cost.  Sustainable paint  Yes! Eco-friendly paint exists! These paints are formulated to minimise their environmental impact while being safe for human health by reducing air pollution.  They have zero volatile organic compounds (VOC), reducing the impact on the respiratory system and improving overall air quality - perfect for rooms with limited ventilation.  As most are produced with renewable or natural materials (such as plant-based oils or clay), they’re a highly sustainable choice, as they lower the demand for natural resources.  However, they do come with a higher price point, and require a specific application technique to achieve a smooth surface.  Decorative screens  If you don’t feel the need to cover a full wall, decorative screens are a great alternative. They can be used as a headboard or just an exciting feature to spruce up any plain wall.  Made from premium composite, you can enjoy a sleek, modern look with the added benefit of our sustainable offerings, giving you a guilt-free experience. Charles & Ivy decorative screens come in 22 unique designs, colours, and sizes to suit every need. You can even opt for a mirrored backing for extra oomph.  Need our advice? If you want more information on our sustainability promise, don’t hesitate to contact us! We can talk you through our products, how they can help your carbon footprint, and how they enhance your home decor.  Make sure to check out our inspiration page and Instagram account for more ideas on how to incorporate our eco-friendly products into your home.
