But in addition to keeping it in good condition and having a decoration according to your life and your lifestyle, lighting is also very important, so the lamps for the garden will take a big role.
So today I want to talk about your garden lamps and some of the types of lamps that you can find today in the market, since lighting has been changing over the years so there are much more sophisticated models with lights that are regulated, ecological, that do not heat up, etc.
Garden lamps different designs
In the current market you can find many different shapes and designs of lamps for the garden. You can find traditional forms such as lanterns and lanterns but also incorporate another type of lighting more modern, innovative and sophisticated to create in your garden lamps a warm and comfortable place when daylight has gone. But what matters finally is that you know how to combine the lights, the colors and the appropriate intensities to your garden and your way of life.
If your garden is small
If your garden is small you will have to focus on a simple lighting so that it gives you light but at the same time it does not take up much space in your decoration. Then use fixed fixtures on the walls of the garden or on the ground. In the market you can find many varied forms from classic designs to much more innovative designs. It will depend on the decorative style of your garden that you opt for one or the other.
If your garden is medium
If your garden has a medium size but you want a simple lighting you can place nice streetlights hanging on the wall or placed vertically from the ground. These lamps can be high or medium, depending on the size of your house.
If your garden is large
If your garden is large you will have more possibilities for lighting because you can shine and illuminate your flowers, your plants and everything you want to highlight from your garden lamps. You can use street lamps, wall lights, reflectors, projectors … whatever you need for your lighting!
An original garden with recycled objects
Recycling is not only an eco-friendly gesture and a way to save good money at home. At the time of inventing new uses of objects of the most different, creative ideas can be real genius, that are useful and decorative or simply embellish and put a note of color and originality to our balcony, terrace or garden.
In fact, the gardens are spaces that invite you to enjoy the view, either in solitude, feeding mind and soul or also to share and show others how beautiful we have that small and at the same time great space that inspires us so much, full of life.
Original pots and planters
The pots conventional turn pale with envy when you take a look around and see those old bags, coffee pots, pans, wellies or chirucas found its place among plants up above ground and splurging joy , with flowering plants, giving a Different touch, as fun as decorative. You can get really precious corners if we know how to combine elements, without overloading, with style and good taste.
Furniture and sculptures
Plastic bottles are big players in gardens that make use of recycled materials. Well used as seedlings or as hanging pots, or to create a vertical garden, in which case we will need a good amount of bottles.
It is even possible to mount a hydroponic system , although for this we need to have a minimum knowledge about hydroponics and a lot of skill, but we must recognize that, if the result is going to be like the one in the image above, it is worth trying to be able to have our own hydroponic garden.
Or, for example, do-it-yourself DIY shops, the glass bottles are a real silo to get small pots in which to grow without soil. The principle is the same as that of hydroponics. Basically, the idea is similar to that childhood game that consisted of placing a potato or sweet potato in a glass of water, holding it with chopsticks so that the roots could access it.
Recycled flower pots in the garden
We will get to make those containers or hydroponic pots by cutting the bottles in half (there are tools to do it, for safety do not try without them) and placing the plant on top, fitted with the base, from which it will suck the water through the same roots. The result is very decorative, and we can also do it with plastic bottles, although they do not look so good.
Recycling things in the garden
In a garden fits almost anything (doors, furniture, bicycles, pianos and even cars on which you can grow beautiful moss, grass or climb the vines), provided that we do it with style and being original we will get that decorative effect we were looking for . The difference between a vulgar recycling and another that likes, loves and falls is none other than that taste for detail that makes a big difference.
With empty cans hanging in a horizontal position we can make curious, and very useful, Alphonso, but if we paint them in colors or we cover them with wrapping paper, put them in case, and we hang them with colorful ribbons or scraps, the result will be spectacular. And, in the same way, with other objects strategically placed, it will be easy to build nests or shelters to attract biodiversity to our garden.
Tires in the garden
Finally, tires are another incredible raw material for our garden. They serve us to make a swing, a gigantic pot and a set of them, or to give a note of color to the garden furniture, for which it would also be interesting to use pallets. Again, as can be seen in the images, pinning them with pleasure and without fear achieves great things.
