How to Transform Your Garden Space. 7 unique ways to try now!
Your garden space can make or break the look of your entire home. The way you design this zone has a great impact on the overall property aesthetics.
If it looks dull, it’s high time to add some vibrant touch and add personality to it. So, create a beautiful outdoor oasis with these simple ideas!
1. Install a folding bar
While an outdoor bar is a beautiful addition, not all homeowners have enough space for it. You can instead build your own pull-down bar. For this, get some wooden boards, screws, hinges, sturdy, rust-proof chains, and a latch.
Plan a design that includes storage shelves, a sturdy frame, and a fold-down countertop. Look up videos for a detailed guide on assembling it.
Once you’re done, sand down the rough edges, coat it with a weatherproof finish and add extra hooks to hang towels or utensils.
2. Add metal art projects
Enhance the garden with custom metal art pieces with the help of DXF files for plasma cutting. From a range of cool garden stakes and sculptures to fire pits and trellises, you can create anything you want using a CNC machine.
You can also infuse a wide range of floral designs and animal shapes for your project.
These are perfect for adding personality to your outdoor space. All you need to do is buy a subscription to an attractive package of DXF files, choose designs, cut them with plasma cutters, and paint.
Make sure the color matches the aesthetic of your garden to make your space stunning!
3. Use unique lighting art
Your garden already has enough lighting to ensure clear vision at night. However, you can do more to add a unique touch to this space. Illuminate the space by creating different art.
Opt for LED lights, as they consume 75% less energy than incandescent ones. This way, you’ll not spike your power bills even if you keep them on for long hours.
Hang the lanterns at a distance throughout the walkways. You can also hang a watering can from a pole and use string lights to mimic falling water. This is especially attractive near brightly colored flowers.
Add decorative light sculptures to the zones without many bright-colored flowering plants. This can be perfect for relaxing and entertaining guests in your garden.
4. Put the step ladder to use
If you have an old step ladder that you don’t use anymore, don’t discard it. Instead, build a vertical gardening space with it. Place the ladder against a sturdy wall or fence.
Add the heavier potted plants on the bottom steps of the ladder. Place a few decorative lightweight items on the two topmost steps. This prevents accidents like heavy pots falling on people. For added security, chain the ladder to the wall or fence.
To create a rustic look, don’t paint the pots or ladder. However, if your house has a modern look, color them accordingly.
5. Paint all the pots
With time, clay pots look worn and torn. To avoid making your garden look neglected, breathe in life to the pots with color. You can simply grab the same paint you use for indoor wall painting.
You can leave them in solid colors. However, if you’re adept at painting, make intricate designs on some. This will prevent the pots from looking monotonous.
6. Make your own living wall outdoors
Brighten up a wall toward the garden with this idea. Add some vertical panels or dull brickwork to one of the sides of a shed. Paint this space a bold color to make it stand out. Alternatively, you can keep it blended to add a natural look.
Attach sturdy hooks to bucket planters. Plant herbs or crawling plants in them. Take care of them appropriately to grow a lush living wall. Remember to switch out new plants with the seasons.
7. Build a quiet seating zone
If you’re interested in meditating or yoga, your garden is the best spot to practice them. Select one corner of your garden and surround it with lush greenery.
Place two benches in a right angle to sit and relax. Alternatively, you can also get a hanging chair, hammock, or swing.
Have enough space to sit on the ground and meditate or practice yoga. Mow the grass around this area regularly to prevent overgrowth.
Conclusion
With these transformations, you can build a tranquil sanctuary right at home. Get started, and let your personality show through the greenery!
