Design is an element of planning your country garden just like it is an element of any art. You are going to want your country garden to look lovely both to you and to anyone else who visits. So are you wondering where you can come up with some great ideas to bring your country garden landscape to life?
Where should you begin your search for country garden design inspiration?
In order to get some excellent ideas for your garden, you should begin by looking at your home and other things that you are interested in. After all, you are the one who is going to be living in your garden, so you should aim to model it after the things that you love the most. Your interior decorating probably reflects your tastes and styles quite well, so consider modeling your country garden after the same style that you’ve created inside your home.
For example, if your home is decorated in a French country theme, then a French country garden landscaping style may be ideal. You can carry the same colors outdoors, using the same colors in your plants and garden furniture as you use in the fabrics in your home. Country French usually uses colors like green, blue or red and yellow. Consider creating a garden room that lets you use these colors in conjunction with the furniture and furnishings that match the design inside your home. You might also consider mixing in chicken themed décor, like pottery chickens and chicken platters to tie in with your French country theme.
If you have a nautical theme in your home instead, considering implementing the same blues and whites outdoors to invoke the same seashore style feeling in your country garden. You can even plant flowers that are white and blue, or even red. Add nautical items into your garden to add interest to the design and landscape of your garden. You can wrap rope around planers with blue and white flowers, adding seashells, or even planting small plants in larger sea shells to add to the nautical theme.
Maybe you have a love of teapots which is reflected in the design and decoration in your kitchen and elsewhere in your home. Old antique teacups and teapots make excellent planters for smaller plants like succulents. You may even want to grow tea plants in your little teacups and saucers. In other words, there is a lot that you can do to take your favorite design elements outdoors, implementing your favorite concepts into your country garden.
Design inspiration for your country garden definitely begins at home. Rather than taking cues from the most popular gardens, take cues from your favorite design elements indoors, bringing them outdoors to add flair to your country garden. Crafting a nautical country garden, or a teapot garden, or another unique style country garden is only limited by your own creativity.
