People who are sensitive
to the beauty of nature will find the garden to be a heaven of visual
delights. There are different elements
in the garden design. Gardens include many attempts in décor that add to their
natural attractiveness, besides the usual flowers and greenery that are
present.
Arches add to the natural
contours of the garden better than many linear shapes would. Its origin goes back innumerable years in
building construction. Used at entrances
in the garden or in niches in walls it can beautify the place. Potted plants or planters can be kept in such
places or statues will add variety.
Sloping roofs, clay finishes and rough textures all add to the rustic
touch in its simplicity. The same shape
can be used with creepers in openings, a mosaic on the wall or the entrance to
a gazebo.
Pergolas are made with
columns or beams in which it is possible to have many decorative
opportunities. A wooden pergola would
blend with the environment as it is one with the surrounding foliage. Using granite, marble or concrete is another
option. Elegance and beauty are the
qualities which the stone lends to the garden.
A pergola can be used to cover a deck though it may be partially exposed
to the elements. Special pavements with
inlaid mosaics, plants and statues as well as water urns could be under the
pergola.
Columns usually play a
utilitarian role in a garden but may be touched up to add beauty. The light post may be of cast iron with
decorative surface work and the right shape should be selected. Trailing creepers midway up their length will
look artistic. Stone columns that
support pergolas and roofs can have ornate pedestals and capitals. If you have wooden pillars they should be
sturdy ones. Half columns could be
mounted on walls or could act as a frame for waterspouts, statues or mosaics.
