Recycled planters
Recycled planters
Instead of throwing away old wooden crates or car tires, they can be used as creative planters. Clean the boxes and tires thoroughly, and paint them with colorful paint, if you want to change their appearance. Then, fill the items with soil and your favorite plants.
Not only does this idea help reduce waste, but it also adds a touch of beauty to the garden.
Wooden boxes
Handmade stone walkways
Interesting stone pathways can be created using gravel or old tiles. Start by marking out the path, digging the ground deep enough to distribute the gravel or tiles, and making sure the ground is well leveled before you start paving. Pathways add an artistic touch and help organize movement in the garden.
Benches and small gardens
Benches and small gardens
Simple wooden benches can be made using old wooden planks, cut and nailed together to create the desired bench shape. You can also create small gardens using clay pots and small plants. Place these gardens on tables or garden shelves for a touch of greenery.
Innovative lighting
Innovative lighting
Nighttime lighting adds a charming atmosphere to your garden; use empty glass jars to install lighting inside them. Place the jars strategically around the garden to provide soft, cozy lighting in the evening.
Houses for birds
Your garden can be a fun place, by making simple wooden bird houses and decorating them with bright colors. Place the houses on trees, or poles, in the garden.
Hanging gardens
If your garden space is small, hanging gardens are an ideal solution; using ropes and rods to hang pots and plants helps save space and adds beauty to empty walls.
Small fountains
You can create a small fountain using a water pump and ceramic pots. By placing the pump at the bottom and filling the pot with water, the fountain will add a touch of luxury and tranquility to your garden.
Flower pots
Add a splash of color to your garden by making colorful flower pots in different sizes. Flower pots made of colored pottery are particularly appealing.
Decorating outdoor mirrors
You can add another aesthetic look by decorating mirrors, of different sizes, inside your garden, decorated with plants and flowers, and fixed to the fence, to make this space beautiful.
Plant stand
Plant stand
A multi-tiered plant stand allows you to place a lot of pots, without cluttering up the floor. You can use the same plant to create a cohesive statement, or vary the pots and plants to create a sense of variety in your garden.
Seating area
You can install customized flooring, with a flat grassy area, arrange a set of comfortable chairs, comfortable cushions, some ambient lighting, and large candle holders, to create a beautiful seating area, to enjoy the special nighttime atmosphere.
