“Flower Bed”
Flowers in the garden are a familiar story. Why not diversify the green area and build such a romantic garden decoration in the form of a flower bed? Such a blooming art object can become a creative inspiration for creating romantic poems and songs.
Game of textures and proportions
This garden excites the imagination with its play of textures. Decayed trees are comfortably immersed in soft grass that does not need cutting (red fescue, from the Latin. Festuca rubra). A clay amphora of impressive size gives the impression that a mythical giant from a fairy tale lives here.
Patterned path
The highlight of your garden can be a path made of pebbles, but not a simple one, but lined with artistic patterns.

Lamps
Shining balls in the garden create a truly fabulous atmosphere. To do this, you can use a lamp on a support, pendant lamp or sphere-shaped, placed directly on the ground. Such a decoration will become a bright accent in the bush and fill the garden with shining magic.
An interesting idea for the garden is hanging lanterns made of paper. They will be an excellent decoration for a celebration under open air. Hang them directly on tree branches, and in the evening, thanks to miniature LEDs, the airy spheres will emit a romantic glow.
The unusual spherical fountain looks like a sculpture in the garden. Flowing water magically envelops rounded shapes, emphasizing their smoothness. And the lower hemisphere serves not only as a bowl for the fountain, but also as a mini-reservoir.
On outdoors a bright glass ball that scatters light looks incredible.
Geometry in the garden
Shrubs and trees can be given any shape by cutting them in a certain way. So, you can create floating balls on slender tree trunks or green spheres from bushes on the ground.
If the tree crown is only initial stage forming rounded silhouettes, spherical elements can be added with balls, placing them on the ground. Then they will harmoniously complement each other.
Precisely trimmed bushes and filigree planted trees, together with green lawns of grass carpets, resemble real geometric lines.
Spherical shrubs, placed in groups along sidewalks or along the perimeter of the site, are an excellent replacement for borders. They skillfully perform the function of zoning space.
Spherical flowerpots can become a magnificent garden decoration. They will look doubly impressive with lighting.
Floral composition
The center of the “universe” of your garden can be a luxurious floral composition with spherical motifs. The theme of roundness is skillfully completed by a large ball made of branches.
Artistic creativity on stones
Do you like to draw? Have you thought about trying it on rocks? Let your creativity be the center of attention, because painted stones in the form of colorful houses will become a wonderful garden decoration. However, you can draw anything - it all depends on your creative ambitions and skills.
Pebble house
Metal jewelry
The fence enclosing the garden can serve as a canvas for drawings, but unusual ones - made of metal.
But such colorful figures will fill the estate with a joyful fairy-tale atmosphere.
An elegant figurine-candlestick is another original idea for decorating a garden.

Where to sit?
An elegant forged metal swing or a bright butterfly bench will become not only your favorite place to relax, but also a chic decoration for your estate.
A bench made from old tree branches and tires covered with rope is another idea for outdoor garden gatherings.
Unusual options places for recreation can be continued. Bright solutions are presented in the following photos.
Artificial waterfall
You can look at the blazing fire and listen to the babbling stream endlessly. So why not be content natural phenomenon every day? You can arrange a mini-waterfall right at the table near your estate.
Pool-violin
The owners of this garden are true music lovers. They built a pool that exactly replicates the shape of a violin with a bow (the photo shows a narrow strip of water in the background - this is the bow). Spending time in such a pool is a real pleasure. And at night, when it is illuminated with colorful lights, you can feel like a real Hollywood movie hero.
Restaurant by the pool
Why build a bar by the pool, if it is quite possible to build a whole restaurant, and set up places for vacationers right under the water.
Emitting light
It’s not difficult to create a glowing garden in the evening. Garlands, glowing flowerpots, led strip, homemade lamps from an ordinary can, decorative lanterns - everything is in your hands.
Unusual fence
Behind such a bottle fence there simply must be a wine cellar.
Another original idea for your fence is to decorate it with colored glass balls. The effect is impressive, especially under sunlight.
Another bright selection of ideas for your garden can be seen in the following photos.
I would like the plot located next to the house or dacha to look like paradise. For a city dweller, this is, after all, more space for relaxation, although, if there are beds, this relaxation is very unique)) Nevertheless, decorating the site - country house, garden, personal - concerns all owners. The range of possibilities is wide. There are even different styles, so they all look different, expressing the individuality of the owner. True, this is the case if you decorated it yourself, on your own. Even if not everything follows the canons of landscape design... But for some reason it is precisely these areas, designed by amateurs, that are more comfortable.
Site layout
The first thing you should do when receiving a plot is to think about what and where you will have it. After joining, you decide where the house will stand - at the beginning of the site, in the middle, closer to its far edge. Then you “arrange” the rest of the planned buildings. If you are planning to build, determine a place for a bathhouse, then place outbuildings - a barn, a chicken coop, vegetable garden beds and greenhouses, decide where the garden will be. Next come resting places - these are canopies and gazebos.
The main buildings are on the plan; now paths are being laid between them. Straight paths are needed only in one case, if the area is long and narrow. In this case, a flat path to its far end will visually make it closer. For all other objects, it is better to make them sinuous, with smooth bends.
Site plan - placing the house and main buildings
Now it's time to think about placing decorations for the area. First of all this. They are built quickly, planted with annuals in the very first season will delight you, while everything else is still under construction and is still far from beautiful. A longer task is the construction of rock gardens and rockeries. Pulling and laying a couple of tons of stones is no joke; besides, they are planted mainly with perennials, and they take on their final appearance only after three or four years. And then, only on the condition that you immediately selected all the plantings and planted them correctly, which without experience is an unprecedented success.
Do you want to surprise your friends and neighbors? Paint the flowerpots with luminescent paint. When darkness falls, they will glow, giving your lawn an unusual look.
The second option for turning ordinary things into extraordinary ones is to use car paint with chrome effect. Paint several stones or the same pots and get mirror stones...
Mirror balls are balls painted with chrome effect paint.
Another traditional type of jewelry is. Very small ones are built quickly - from a tire, in a couple of hours. Larger ones may take a couple of days to arrange. But there is no point in constructing ponds before the house is built and the paths are laid. Save this decoration for closer to the finish. Also, after the main construction, it’s time to install arches and canopies. And just at the end of the day, they begin to play with lighting, although there are very simple and original ideas. For example, take tin can, make holes in it, but not just like that, but according to a pattern, creating a pattern. You can put an ordinary low-power lamp inside, and if there is no electricity yet, put a candle and place/hang it near the house.
A completely unsightly jar turns into a wonderfully beautiful lantern...
This decoration of the site can be hung in the garden or on the veranda. It’s not difficult to do, it looks great, although only in the dark))
A little about styles
Our most common Naturgarden style, although many owners are unaware of this. These are those areas that have everything at once - an entrance-front area, a garden-vegetable garden, a recreation area. Moreover, the areas are small and all, or almost all, zones are visible. Natural style allows, based on the existing topography and soil, to create areas with any landscape. Is there a swampy lowland? Equip it slightly by adding a pond or making a swamp, leaving natural plantings and adding decorative ones, beautifying the banks. You can make a dry stream or build a natural one. Is the area flat? Organize the area like a meadow, perhaps an alpine lawn. Put up a gazebo and plant ivy.
For romantic natures, the same style is more suitable. It is characterized by rose-covered, well-groomed lawns and flower beds, which are adjacent to thoughtfully overgrown secluded places.
Cozy places and arches, pergolas, flower beds, climbing roses- signs romantic style in the design of the site
Country style easily recognizable by its characteristic “household” decorative elements. Internal fences - or picket fences, flowers - in tubs, cans, carts. And garden furniture deliberately rough, if painted, then with a dark tinting composition, and not with covering paints.
English style amateurs can choose. Any free area is sown with lawn grass. This type of garden can be described in two words: “all in a heap.” In English gardens, everything can really be mixed up: a garden/vegetable garden is a single concept, besides, flowerpots are placed everywhere, all free spaces are occupied by grass. Another feature is ivy-covered walls, a large number of roses, figurines and funny figures placed in suitable places.
Lush vegetation interspersed with manicured lawns - signs of an English garden
Classic garden are executed strictly according to plan. This is the option when everything is clear, boundaries, shapes, height of bushes and borders. Everything is lined up and straight. Ornate benches are installed in strictly designated areas, next to which decorative flowerpots with flowers, statues and columns are installed.
Clear geometry in everything is a sign of a classic garden
Fences and picket fences
First of all, the area is fenced off. It’s understandable: building materials need to be produced, but how to protect them? It's easier behind the fence. If possible, it is better to immediately install a beautiful, solid, reliable fence. Not all of them cost much. Budget options They can also be very attractive. The main thing in this matter is the idea, and they are in the photo. So, a combination of long and short boards can create an interesting fence, more transparent at the top and almost without gaps at the bottom.
If the boards are placed edgewise, the effect is even more interesting. Now, if you don’t see it, you won’t believe it...
With thin fresh boards you can do beautiful fence, which uses the principles of wattle making. The boards are passed between the posts and bent.
A fence made of slabs is cheap and cheerful, but it’s a lot of work...
If funds allow, you can put up something monumental, such as a fence made of stone or brick. It will require a lot of work and money, but it will also last a long time.
My home is my fortress...
For internal division of the site, such solid fences are useless. For a vegetable garden, you can install a trellis made of a thin bar, weave.
If you are “lucky” and there is a blank wall facing your garden, you can also decorate it with a kind of fence along which you can let climbing plants. Interesting option presented below. When the ivy grows a little it will be very beautiful. Instead of ivy, you can plant clematis. In winter, the view is worse, of course, but in summer...
How to decorate a garden plot with flowers
This part of garden arrangement brings the fastest results. Annual flowers bloom within a few weeks after planting, perennials also delight, growing more and more every week. Oh, and here we’ll post some interesting ideas that can give impetus to choosing a garden style.
Decorating a site often consists of little things. For example, normal wooden box easily turns into a garden decoration - interesting coloring and non-standard installation- hang on ropes, which are shaped like hands. The pole is used as a basis for hanging pots with hanging flowers.
Sculptures are made from ordinary pots. They pick them up different sizes, fasten with wire, add a little paint or plants - everyone has their own fantasies... the result is marvelous figures.
Even leaky rubber gloves are useful. It's good that the colors are bright and the base is thick. They pour soil, plant annuals, tie them to trees or ropes, and nail them to fences. Fun and bright.
Highlights of our garden: ponds
Perhaps the second favorite decoration of the site after flower beds is. The picturesque combination of water and plants is mesmerizing and gives you coolness in the summer. Decorating reservoirs is a creative process and there are also many styles. You can make a flooring around it from boards. And so as not to have to worry about painting and impregnating them, they can be not wooden, but composite - there is one new material, in appearance very reminiscent of wood. The only difference is that it does not rot or change color. This material is called decking. It can be used for flooring open veranda or terraces near the pool. You can see an example of its use around a pond in the photo.
Flooring around the pond - it will be convenient to walk even after rain
You can also lay out the space around it with stone slabs. This arrangement will take more time, but many people like this option better. To prevent the entire finish from “floating”, you will have to remove some of the soil, fill it with crushed stone, compact it, and add a layer of sand on top. You can now lay slabs on it. The gaps can be filled with a mixture of sand and cement, the excess can be thoroughly swept away, and then either wait for rain or water the blind area - the cement will set, securing the slabs. The coverage will be reliable.
Using the same technology, you can line the edges with boulders collected on the river bank (or purchased at a garden center).
Boulders are a great way to decorate the edge of a pond
If they are made of paving stones, it makes sense to decorate the shore of the reservoir as well. The technology is known, only the material is different.
Paving stones - no need to look for anything, everything is in the store
Decorating a garden or cottage with improvised materials
As you probably understand, you can make a garden decoration from any object or thing. The main thing is the idea, then a little imagination and work, and the decor is ready. For example, you can make a table or a small terrace around a tree, and use this corner for relaxation.
Often stumps remain on the site. It takes a long time to uproot them, in the process they will trample everything around them... They stick out until they become rotten and crumble on their own. And you can make very interesting things from stumps. For example, use it as a flower bed.
And even a stump on a spring day...
Or make an interesting figurine out of it for the garden.
About the prosaic but necessary - toilets
These buildings sometimes appear before fences, because without them it’s a disaster. Builders will develop all the nearby nooks and crannies, and who, I wonder, will like it. So, perhaps the most necessary building is. Why are we talking about toilets in relation to decorating a site? But because this building can be made in such a way that it does not have to be hidden. Showing off is also not an option, but there is no need to disguise it either. For example, a standard birdhouse can be made from logs. You'll get a mini-hut.
Costs little, looks good...
Plant a plant around it, make it pretty, and this corner of the garden will also be attractive. For example, like the photo below.
A few more options on the same topic. The same simple design can be designed in different ways. You choose the style depending on how the dacha or garden plot is decorated.
Well, if you need a stone toilet, then why not decorate it in the style of a medieval castle. Only crowds of tourists will need to be driven away...

Consider the position and orientation of your site. Plant tall plants so that they do not shade their short neighbors.

If you like to cook on the grill in the garden, then why not plant the necessary seasonings nearby. This vibrant mix of vegetables and ornamental grasses will liven up your patio or gazebo.
And the proximity of vegetables to flowers will make your beds especially attractive and will not harm your harvest at all. This way you can create entire compositions of tasty, healthy and beautiful things.
