Recently, summer cottages and garden plots are used not only as a place for growing fruits, vegetables and all kinds of herbs. At the dacha it is very good to relax on weekends from the bustle of the city, to get together and chat with family, friends, relatives and friends
Alas, the ugly and unkempt area somehow does not facilitate communication. How to improve the dacha? To do this, you can use various garden decorations: lanterns, sculptures, figurines of different sizes, even fountains and waterfalls. But do not mindlessly buy all this in special stores and on the market, otherwise you can turn your garden plot into a warehouse of assorted garden decorations, and this will not help achieve the desired result, but will only upset you.
Where do you start?
First, carefully inspect the dacha (garden plot, courtyard). Decide what exactly you want: decorate the yard in the same style or divide it into different zones? Sketch on a piece of paper an approximate plan of your land plot, if you decide to divide the decorations into zones, then also divide the plot into parts on a piece of paper.
Now let's get down to the fun part: the design solution. No, no, do not be alarmed, you do not need to invite an eminent designer for fabulous money. It is enough to take a closer look at the garden and determine which style is best for you.
If you decide to install a fountain or a small waterfall, then we will start by finding a place for it, since, most likely, it is this garden decoration that will attract most of your attention and the attention of your household. By the way, a recreation area will be an ideal place for a fountain pond or a waterfall, that is, the place where you can calmly enjoy the beauty of the water structure.
So, the place for the fountain-waterfall has been selected. Now we need to solve the problem of decorative lighting. Even in spite of the fact that dachas often have common courtyard lighting, decorative lanterns will add mystery to this decoration. By the way, small water lanterns in the form of balls that are immersed directly in the water or small decorative lanterns in the form of various water flowers: lilies, lotuses, water lilies are perfect for fountains, ponds and waterfalls.
Next to the fountain, you can put a couple of lanterns in the form of various insects: dragonflies, butterflies, as well as small birds.
By the way, do not forget to write down all your fantasies on a piece of paper. This is necessary in order to know what exactly we need to buy and in what quantities.
By the way, we have decided on the place for the fountain-waterfall-pond. But, besides this, you need to decide whether you will purchase a ready-made one or build a structure yourself? If you do it yourself, cement, wild stone, a bath for a fountain, a pump, hoses, filters, an electric cable will replenish the list of necessary goods … Next time we will talk about how to make a fountain, waterfall or pond with our own hands.
That's it, we have decided on one zone. Now we proceed to the selection of decorative figures. Their size will directly depend on the size of your site, since a huge sculpture on a tiny piece of land will look, to put it mildly, ridiculous.
Do not put garden figurines every half a meter, do not turn the site into a warehouse. Choose several garden compositions in the same style, or, depending on the zones you choose, in different styles. We estimate the approximate number of necessary elements, so as not to get too much and then not puzzle over where to attach it.
We supplement our list with the fountain with the selected decoration elements and their quantity. We decide whether we need decorative lanterns or will we buy figurines with lanterns right away? We count the number of required lighting objects, add to our list and go shopping.
