Decor for home and garden is not necessary to buy in the store. DIY jewelry will not only save the family budget, but also create a unique and inimitable design of a summer cottage.

When a garden is already laid out on a summer cottage, flowers and fruit trees bloom, a summer cottage is put in order and a bathhouse is built, and children frolic in the arbor in the courtyard, it’s time to decorate the garden. Of course, in order for the territory to please the eye, you can buy various interesting figures, forged benches or original flowerpots. But to give your summer cottage uniqueness and style an extraordinary approach to business is needed. Only author's ideas, embodied in life with their own hands, are able to turn dull beds into an extravaganza of creativity and skill.

Original ideas for flower beds

At any garden site you can find flower beds. Usually they are made using planks or old wheels brought together in a rectangle, rhombus or triangle, brought by the head of the family from the garage. Such "beds" are mostly plain and boring. Another thing is the flower garden. Anything can become the basis and decoration for him.

On the site, you can arrange old dishes in a chaotic manner. Looking at such a composition, it seems that this kitchen utensil was forgotten to be brought into the house long ago, and over the years it was covered with flowers.

Garden tools: a broken wheelbarrow, an old trough for seedlings, iron buckets and even an unnecessary watering can can become the basis of a flower garden. If you do not like their appearance, the products can be painted in bright colors and the site will sparkle with new colors.

Furniture items: a wrought-iron bed, a coffee table and even an armchair will make any flower garden original and unique. Guests will long admire this part of the garden and ask you where you bought such an extraordinary decor for a summer residence.

If you still do not want to depart from the usual arrangement of flowers in the flower beds, try to create an unusual garden decor with your own hands. To implement ideas, take advantage of what can always be found in any suburban area. Almost any construction debris left after the construction of the bathhouse or arbor can be used.

We decorate artificial ponds

Various fountains and waterfalls look spectacular. If a stream flows through your site, create thresholds from stones, thanks to which you can make a cascade of small waterfalls.

The secret of a beautiful slide is the bright color illumination. At night, light will play in drops of water, creating an incredible atmosphere of comfort. In the summer heat you will spend a lot of time in the garden, admiring the waterfall created by your own hands and the starry sky.

The backlight is a thing undoubtedly necessary, but it costs money. To decorate waterfalls, you can use improvised means. Paint the old jug with the color of the stones and put it near the water. You can neatly put a figurine of a frog or a lizard next to it, which crawled up to bask on the stones and remained to live near the stream.

The bigger the tree, the better

Wood was, is and remains the most environmentally friendly and easy to use material.Decorations for the garden and the garden are processed by all available means: varnish, primer or paint. When creating garden decor from wood, do not forget about antifungal compounds. They will prevent the appearance of unpleasant mold on the surface of the product.

Wooden decor for a summer cottage can be divided into two groups. Products from the first group carry only an aesthetic load, in the second case, a functional component is also added.

For example, lawns, flowerbeds, flower beds, waterfalls and alpine slides are created only to please the eyes of the owners of the garden and their guests. Pergolas, metal and wood bridges across the pond, benches and fences are actively used while relaxing in the garden.

A few ideas for creating a unique decor for a summer residence:

• From large chocks, you can make a spectacular ensemble of tables and chairs, and from a board remaining from the construction of a bath, put together a carved bench.
• If there is an old well on the site that you have not used for a long time, use a wooden frame for a beautiful flower garden.
• From a tree you can cut and design any shape. For example, a donkey, pulling a heavy wagon along with it, will look harmonious.

Natural stone - a material that is always at hand

Creating a decor for the garden, it is better to leave the stones in their natural form. They are beautiful in themselves and do not require additional processing. They are in perfect harmony with products made of metal, wood and even plastic. Having a large amount of this natural material at your disposal, you can create a composition reminiscent of Japanese stone gardens. If you do not gravitate to foreign styles, you can use a stone in the design of country paths, borders for flower beds or a place for barbecue.

Does a creek flow through the site? Well, you can realize the most daring ideas for garden decor. With this material, all kinds of alpine hills and waterfalls are being erected. The result of this work will be a unique park decor that combines wood, greens, flowers, metal and stones.

If there is no stream, it can be made of gravel.

The so-called rockery looks great in any area. To create it, you need only stones and your own imagination. If there is not much material, buy any quantity in a special store. Today, there are a huge number of companies specializing in the sale of this material for garden decor. For a small amount you will get everything you need: boulders, boulders, gravel, granite or marble chips, gravel and masonry stone.

A few ideas to help you:

• From natural materials you can build a real medieval castle in a reduced form. For crafts, stock up with a cement compound, which will serve as a connective fabric for stones. The gnome standing next to him, made of clay especially for the garden and the kitchen garden, will look very cute.
• Flower beds can be decorated with stones of the same size. Camouflage them under juicy strawberries or ladybugs, such a decor for the garden will harmoniously fit into the overall style of the homestead.
• Using a stone, you can create a unique installation or sculpture. Add to it old dishes, a jug or a watering can and install near the alpine hill.

Always available plastic

Every day in the process of cooking we use products packaged in plastic bottles. And whenever oil or vinegar runs out, we throw the container into the bin, without even knowing what kind of garden decor we can make of this material. Of course, plastic crafts do not look as magnificent as, for example, elements made of stone, but they wrap them with their warmth and create a feeling of comfort.

• If your pantry is clogged with plastic bottles to the ceiling, create an exotic garden with palm trees and cacti on the site.
• Using this publicly available material, you can make garden furniture, such as tables and chairs.
• Plastic is also used for decorating gazebos and trees for the holiday - beautiful garlands are obtained from colored material.

Every Russian who has a summer cottage in the country, wants to spend all his free time there, because on the land people not only work cultivating the land, but also relax from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Often the site becomes a meeting place for friends and relatives. That is why it is very important to create a truly unique and original design in the territory.

The shops are full of various cute little things, but only garden decor with their own hands can bring originality and personality to the overall picture. As you already understood, such creations absolutely do not affect the size of the family budget, because you can use improvised materials to implement ideas. Good helpers in this matter will be unnecessary dishes, old furniture, garden tools, wood and stones - in general, everything that “lies badly” on the territory of a summer cottage.
