Gardening. Plants, containers... How to decorate your garden with style?

  • Find Your Style Start by choosing your style and the decor elements that match it. A country feel is expressed through terracotta pots, wooden planters, and patinated objects. The Mediterranean ambiance favors jars, wicker, amphorae, and lanterns. Urban decors focus on simple lines with raw materials like metal or concrete. Oriental inspiration is recognized in basins, pebbles, lanterns, and discreet statuettes. Photo Oase

  • Add the right plants. Then match your style to the plants. Perennial geraniums, old roses, foxgloves, or delphiniums complement a rustic garden ambiance. Lavender, rosemary, bougainvillea, and agapanthus enhance a Mediterranean atmosphere. Urban style relies on graphic grasses, bamboo, or Japanese maples. In an oriental decor, favor Japanese maples, ferns, hostas, and aquatic plants to create a serene, plant-filled ambiance. Photo Adobe Stock
  • Consider Containers. Also choose containers that match your ambiance. Vary the heights, diameters, and textures. The trend is highlighting natural materials, such as terracotta or untreated wood, but also zinc or raw ceramic. Planters can accommodate both floral bouquets and miniature vegetable gardens, depending on the use and the seasons. Photo Castorama
  • Don't forget the climbers. Give your climbing plants trellises, arches, and pergolas, which extend the verticality of the plants and create perspectives. They support clematis, climbing roses, or star jasmine, while creating areas of shade and freshness. They can also hide a wall or demarcate an area. Wood, metal, or natural fibers fit into all styles and accompany the evolution of the plant. Photo David Austin
  • Liven up your paths. Punctuate your walkways and paths with stone benches, wooden armchairs, or masonry benches. These become integral elements of the decor. Placed in the right spot, they enhance a viewpoint, benefit from shade, or frame a flowerbed. Some include storage or planters. Choose them according to the style of the garden, in harmony with the surrounding materials. Photo Depositphotos

  • Vary the materials. Play with materials, because they shape the spirit of the garden as much as the plants. Pebbles, wood, metal, low walls, or gabions outline paths, cover the ground, form borders, or frame flowerbeds. Decorative objects like sundials or sculptures also bring the landscape to life. They create landmarks, structure the space, and reinforce the identity of the place throughout the year. Photo Jardiland
  • Light up to enhance your garden. Liven up your garden after dark by adding solar lanterns, bollards, or string lights. Energy-efficient LEDs allow for economical and effective displays. When well-placed, the lights can highlight an architectural detail, a single tree, or a pond. They contribute to the atmosphere without disturbing nocturnal wildlife. Photo Guirled

Planting isn't enough to create a beautiful garden. Whether it's vast or confined to a corner of a patio, your outdoor space should combine decorative elements and plants to reflect your personality and your desire to escape. Here's how to do it.
