Metal decor: beauty, hardened in fire (22 photos)

Jewelry made of metal has always been in great demand among the owners of country houses and summer cottages. Fortunately, a large selection of metal products from wall decor to gazebos with a metal frame gives us the opportunity to purchase exactly what harmoniously fits into the interior of the green garden.

In the Bronze Age, people first learned about metal, and since then this material has been an integral part of our life. It is used in absolutely all spheres of human activity: from the manufacture of heavy weapons to the creation of masterpieces of jewelry. Every day, on television screens, the elements of which, by the way, are also made of metal, advertisements flicker in which motorists arrange test drives of their “iron horses”, housewives rub tableware to shine, tractor drivers plow the fields, and gardeners dig holes for future trees with shovels and decorate the site with a brand new wrought iron bench.

How can I decorate the garden?

The decor from metal for a personal plot has not only an aesthetic component, but also carries a certain spiritual load. According to Feng Shui, this material represents abundance and good luck in business. The Taoist practice of symbolic exploration of space recommends placing decorative elements made of metal in the western part of the site.

Any material can be used to decorate the garden: aluminum, cast iron, steel, bronze and even brass.

Metal fences

Of course, for zoning the site, you can use a simple fence made of a thin sheet of steel. But will it harmoniously fit into the design of the territory? It is unlikely that harmony and integrity of the overall style of the garden can be achieved if the fence does not contain decoration elements. If you use Chinese characters for decoration, graffiti so fashionable in the urban jungle or your children's art masterpieces, a simple fence made of galvanized steel sheet will sparkle with new colors and make your front garden truly unique.

Gazebos

Can you imagine how in the center of the garden, under the curly shadow of trees, a gazebo from a forged frame is hiding? At one glance at such a masterpiece I would like to take a book and, sitting on a rocking chair, to retire under the roof of such a gazebo.

Arches

In the depths of flower arrangements, flower beds and slides, forged arches look spectacular. Particularly eye-catching are metal products shrouded in hops, ivy, and other flora species with climbing plants.

Wrought iron benches

All kinds of benches and benches without backs fit perfectly into the blossoming greenery of the garden. In addition, they are very useful in everyday life, they can be put in the shade of trees and on hot days to relax from hard work.

When metal becomes a symbol of luxury

Such garden decor as fences, benches or arches have long become an integral part of any household or summer cottage. Because of the affordable price, every average Russian can afford them. But there are things with which you can not only create a magnificent garden design, but also emphasize your status.

Blacksmithing has long ceased to be a simple craft and moved into the rank of art. Any blacksmith can create a unique wall decor, arch or garden figure in a matter of hours. But now the masters who tame fire and metal are turning to create truly unique things.

Forged railing and visors

The porch with a semicircular visor from forged brackets and polycarbonate looks very nice. The latter must necessarily be transparent to create a feeling of lightness and weightlessness of a metal structure. Such a visor will be able to reliably protect the owners of the house accidentally out on the street from rain. In combination with a railing made in the same style, it creates an incredible feeling of comfort.

Cast iron lining on the door

Such a decoration will certainly not go unnoticed by guests and will be the subject of admiring glances and long conversations. Today's craftsmen can custom-make any forged decoration, even an inscription with the name of the owners, the number of the site or just nice words.

Coat of arms wall decor

If you have a large family, you can come up with a family coat of arms that will decorate the main wall of the house and become part of the decoration of the garden. Of course, such a luxury is not available to everyone, but if you have enough money to create a unique site design, feel free to go to the master and order a family coat of arms.

Forged gates and lanterns

A metal gate with countless patterns and ornate designs will look stunning against the backdrop of lush, lush greenery of fruit trees and flowering plants.

To frame the gate and fence, you can install forged lanterns along the perimeter of the site and near the paths, which decorated the streets of medieval cities and were praised in romantic poems.

Metal window sills, house number plates and other decorative elements made of bronze, aluminum, steel and cast iron

Such seemingly little things are able to create a unique design of your house and land and become the center of any stylistic decision of a personal territory.

Garden figures

Art objects made of steel or cast iron can for decades delight the owners of the site, guests and children. They can decorate an alpine hill, a large stone or porch of the gazebo. Before buying such a product, check with the seller if the product has an anti-corrosion coating. If this is not the case, the figure will rust and lose its presentation after the first rain.

For decorating garden plots, there are a huge number of decorations from figures of various sizes to benches and pillars. Most of them are inexpensive, and you will have to spend a large amount of money on the purchase of some items. But no matter how much you pay for metal decor, you should know that these things will delight you with their beauty for more than a dozen years.
