Sometimes we strive to decorate the interiors of our home, but we forget the exterior, mainly the courtyard, which is often reduced to a deposit of junk. This space can be very rich and profitable if we turn it into a garden and added a pool.
Before starting the design of our garden patio we define the functions to be fulfilled and establish well-defined areas. It is more attractive a space with different areas which can move, instead of always staying in the same place.
Exterior Design Garden Ideas
The vegetation in our backyard garden is very important, we must establish a harmonious whole plant, but at the same time as easy to maintain as possible and appropriate for our climate plants. Sometimes we tend to choose exotic plants but do not give a good result in our garden; it is preferable to opt for native plants that are adapted to our climate and soil.
Panel chooses vegetation rather than grass, since it requires significant maintenance. The higher the floor, beds are easier to maintain and are more visually appealing. Hedges should be informal, some do not require pruning and can incorporate flowers and fruits, which make them more beautiful and colorful.
Let's avoid the gardens too square, right angles and plasticity remain naturally forms from our garden, so we will set curved lines where possible, we will round the edges. Although keep in mind that if the garden is small, it will look even smaller with curved lines.
If we have space for roads, if possible we draw wide pathways. The lighted trails provide us the night garden use. We can use solar lights or low voltage, which are easily installed.
It is advisable to set a bonfire or barbecue area, you can use to prepare meals, but also to spend time outdoors when the temperatures have dropped.
The barbecue area can be open or covered, according to the needs and climate of the region. In areas with severe winters, a roofed and glazed, barbecue allows us to enjoy the garden even when snow, warm with the heat of fire. In warm or temperate zones, we can enjoy the garden in winter, just lighting the fire and sat down nearby, although we have a roof to shelter us.
The installation of a water body in the courtyard garden is very refreshing and helps create a serene and intimate atmosphere, especially in the case of sources, whose sound is soothing. If we put a swimming pool, we make some observations.
When installing a pool in our backyard, we must realize that should be placed in the sunniest part of it and that requires a free space around, which will serve as a solarium and will maintain a clear segmentation of garden. No need to install an Olympic size pool, either one works, we find excellent models in alternative materials that are already ready and only require installation, besides being much cheaper. We also have mobile pools, which allow us to shift and easier to maintain.
Design Ideas for Exterior of Home
The inclusion of garden furniture is essential to create a living garden where you can enjoy moments of relaxation and calm in the privacy of our home. A set of table and chairs will do better around the BBQ, if you have it. This furniture can be very varied materials, but we choose to harmonize with the decor of the house. Indeed, garden decor should be in accordance with the exterior decoration of our house. It would be ridiculous to design a Versailles garden in a minimalist house.
The garden benches shall be surrounded by vegetation, otherwise seem forcibly arranged. A pergola is always a good idea because it allows us to establish an intimate corner within the garden, besides providing a shaded space, so necessary in every garden. We can easily cover our pergola with climbing plants.
It is ok to overload the garden species; it is preferable to use a few species we like to create a harmonious whole. The pebbles are good decorations for any garden; we can use local stone to create them. Sculptures also play an important role ornamental. If you want your garden patio also has birds, the best trick is to place a water fountain for them, grateful nature. And do not forget to change the water every day, otherwise the ward by a tree.
