People
who are sensitive to the beauty of nature will find the garden to be a heaven
of visual delights. There are different
elements in the garden design. Gardens include many attempts in décor that add
to their natural attractiveness, besides the usual flowers and greenery that
are present.
Arches
add to the natural contours of the garden better than many linear shapes
would. Its origin goes back innumerable
years in building construction. Used at
entrances in the garden or in niches in walls it can beautify the place. Potted plants or planters can be kept in such
places or statues will add variety. Sloping roofs, clay finishes and rough textures all add to the rustic
touch in its simplicity. The same shape
can be used with creepers in openings, a mosaic on the wall or the entrance to
a gazebo.
Pergolas
are made with columns or beams in which it is possible to have many decorative
opportunities. A wooden pergola would
blend with the environment as it is one with the surrounding foliage. Using granite, marble or concrete is another
option. Elegance and beauty are the
qualities which the stone lends to the garden. A pergola can be used to cover a deck though it may be partially exposed
to the elements. Special pavements with
inlaid mosaics, plants and statues as well as water urns could be under the
pergola.
Columns
usually play a utilitarian role in a garden but may be touched up to add
beauty. The light post may be of cast
iron with decorative surface work and the right shape should be selected. Trailing creepers midway up their length will
look artistic. Stone columns that
support pergolas and roofs can have ornate pedestals and capitals. If you have wooden pillars they should be
sturdy ones. Half columns could be
mounted on walls or could act as a frame for waterspouts, statues or mosaics.
Clay
decorations can add a warm touch to the garden. Animal figurines, bells, birdbaths and lanterns will be ideal to
beautify the area along with wind chimes and hanging objects. Water bodies in metal and ceramic containers
with flowers and floating candles are a novel idea. Large gardens may include waterfalls and
fountains with boulders and pebbles added in.
