When we move into a house with a patio or garden, the first thing that comes to mind is the desire to enjoy it in the coming days of spring, when the plants and flowers become greener than ever. Many times we need to remodel that space a little, either because it is abandoned or because we want to adapt it to our needs.
Here we show you some ideas for patios and gardens of houses, modern, beautiful and simple, not those that are seen in design magazines, that is, easy and economical ideas that you can make yourself.
Create an area for relaxation in patios and gardens
The garden should be a space where we can disconnect, relax and have fun. It should be a pleasure to be in our yards and gardens and that is easy to achieve. It can be a more enjoyable place if we create a living area. We will be able to relax outdoors and gather with friends and family while enjoying nature.
It is desirable to place accessories of strong colors that contrast with the green of plants, such as red. This will make the garden look much more interesting to human eyes.
You can create a place to relax and keep it simple, with a bohemian look. Geometric seating, carpets and vibrant colors, maintain an informal space, perfect for relaxing outdoors.
Puedes crear un área de descanso sin mucho esfuerzo, con cojines de colores vibrantes para acompañar a la naturaleza. En cuanto a vegetación, tendrás buenos resultados si juegas con diferentes especies y de diferentes tamaños.
You can create a perfect space to enjoy and have fun on summer nights. Elements such as lamps, cushions and pots, are perfect to generate a comfortable area and that remains a space to be in contact with nature.
Pergolas
It is nice to have a garden, even if it does not have many things beyond flowers, it is a pleasant feeling and a space that we always want to enjoy. But if you have been thinking about how to make it more cozy and take advantage of spending time reading or simply listening to music, you will like this idea, which resorts to the use of a pergola and some elements that create a wonderful area.
The secret is in the maximum color, it is true that it is a renovation that requires investment. Although if you are good at carpentry tasks you can organize a family project to make a pergola and from there, decorate with vibrant colors, place garden chairs, a sofa appropriate to the environment, decorate with paper screens of vibrant colors, and create if you want a small artificial lagoon where to transmit the zen feeling of this decoration.
Hammocks
This is a proposal that is totally recommended to enjoy pleasant moments outdoors, we talk about the hammocks, of course, since they allow us a comfortable posture while enjoying contact with the fresh air and the landscape that surrounds us.
Such is the comfort they offer us, that we can perfectly choose them for an outdoor nap, to enjoy a pleasant time of reading or even to sunbathe; since everything is valid when we feel comfortable.
Thanks to the enormous variety of styles and materials in which they are presented to us, we can all find a hammock that fits our taste, style and the decoration of our outdoor spaces. Obviously, they can become another decoration accessory, if we take advantage of their colors and textures.
This element inevitably invites us to spend more time in contact with nature, which makes them ideal especially to enjoy the summer season.
Tables for patios and gardens
The well-decorated patios and gardens can serve us practically all year round, either to work or to sit in it to have a drink. In this, the purchase of a table for the garden plays a very important role, since choosing it is easy when we know what we are going to use it for.
Circular garden table
If we are going to use the table to eat with friends, then you must be clear that the one you are going to choose should be circular. Many people think that it is best to have rectangular tables, but these tend to separate diners making the food a little less fun. Instead, with a circular table, all diners can see each other and chat perfectly.
Side tables
If we want a table to be alone reading a little, then you can buy a corner table or a small round table. With this type of surface, it is more than enough to place a glass, a tea, the book, and some decorative element.
Minimalist tables
If you want to have a futuristic space, then you can put garden tables according to this style. You can find hundreds of minimalist tables, metal, wood or a mixture of both if you search a little on the internet. Usually, the shape of these tables is rectangular.
Vintage tables
We suggest you use the vintage style. If you have a table that you are giving little use, redecorate it and use it again a little more according to your taste. This type of furniture looks fabulous in the garden, and is one of the most economical options you can choose.
Even tables with traces of rust, can look very nice among the vegetation.
Stone paths and slopes in patios and gardens
Creating a country-style atmosphere in the garden is perfect for accentuating the contrast of the exterior with the interior. Using stone, concrete or wood to create stairs and paths is perfect to add interest to the garden.
This is a small courtyard, but having a stone path to the side, with nothing in its way, gives the impression that it is more spacious. The path leads to a raised stone courtyard and water fountain, making it a place to relax. The fence and the wooden pergola complement perfectly with the stones used.
Interspersing beds with soil
Many times there is a lack of space in patios and gardens. There is no need to fill everything with plants. You can maintain a spacious and bright space and maintain vegetation in certain areas.
This garden has an English design, doubling the useful space. Gray stone pavers alternate with bricks. This asymmetry creates a feeling of spaciousness, the floor also has an interesting texture achieved with the mixture of the materials used.
Curves and stones in patios and gardens
To increase the attractiveness of a garden, try curves, stones and a decorative piece. Without a doubt, the shapes of the garden do not have to be straight.
Dividing spaces into patios and gardens
This garden has a great design and a dazzling image. Small, practical and beautiful. It has two important areas: where the table is, and where the bench is further back. It is not a very large garden, but nevertheless, having two areas divided by steps, it seems wide.
Orden en patios y jardines
Este es un alegre jardín, para sentarse a tomar el té. Está muy bien diseñado, de forma que no hay espacios al desnudo, pero no parece un jardín caótico, lleno de cosas, ya que el diseño es ordenado, simétrico, logrando sensación de paz.
Artificial grass
This space includes artificial grass and has a rather artistic and geometric design. If in your garden there can be no grass due to lack of sun or some other reason, you can always resort to this type of solution, if you accompany it with a nice design, it can look great.
Diagonal tiles
This is a small fenced courtyard. Despite being small, it has an optical illusion that makes it more spacious, through the diagonal tiles. This is a trick to keep in mind if you have a very small garden or patio.
Original accessories for patios and gardens
Fountains are an excellent element for a garden. In this case, we show you a rather peculiar style, it is the futuristic style in gardens. Exuberant colors, original lighting, make the garden a different place in our home. Several unusual elements have been used that make it very interesting.
Puertas recicladas
The use of recycled material in the decoration of patios and gardens is one of the alternatives that we must always take into account. Every fence needs a gate or gate, and if you’re on a budget, the best solution might be to recycle something from a junkyard that costs relatively little. Perhaps you can find a door to recycle and give a touch of interest to the patios and gardens.
A door is a focal point that leads from one space in the garden to another. The doors not only mark the transition points, but also create an enclosure and make a room private. Close the door to keep out the sounds of the street and passing traffic, or just to feel like you’re secluded in your own little paradise.
Patio and garden indicators
I’ve been looking for ways to point out what’s planted in a piece of garden soil while the plant is still coming out. The truth is that the markers or indicators that I have found in garden stores leave much to be desired, they are sticks with a plastic tab with a white sticker or a white box. Really unoriginal and very ugly, it was a great disappointment.
I expected to find black or chrome metal indicators with nice leaf or vine shapes, screen-printed. Or I even thought about making them my way with wood and painting them to my liking, with colors that contrast with the plant once it grows. Here are some very original ideas that meet the expectations I had.
