When we talk about decoration, we often think of the interior of our homes, which must be welcoming and aesthetic. But our outdoor spaces are just as important! When summer comes, the terrace and green spaces are taken over by family and friends, and become the central living room of the house. This is why their decoration must be pampered and well thought out!
Do you dream of a grandiose garden that exudes space and freedom? Draw your inspiration from these 10 dream garden ideas to recreate at home without moderation. Garden design, bohemian, rural, modern, or even ethnic and Scandinavian… these outdoor spaces will amaze you.
N°1: THE MODERN GARDEN WITH WOODEN PERGOLAS
We say yes to this ultra modern garden-terrace which has everything to please. With this large bay window that overlooks the interior, the garden seems to be a real extension of the living room. Teal blue swimming pool, wooden terrace and well-arranged plant touches give the house a holiday feel.
The little extra: we love the colorful cushions on the garden furniture which recall the color of the swimming pool and certain decorative touches inside the living room. This detail contributes to making the whole space coherent and to making it a logical continuity which considerably enlarges the house. The outdoor decor of this garden is thought out and fitted out down to the smallest detail and offers an open-air space that you definitely don’t want to leave.
N°2: THE GARDEN WITH ASIAN NOTES
A touch of Asia blows over this garden with its exotic atmosphere. If you can’t travel to remote parts of China, why not turn your garden into a little piece of solar paradise that feels good.
We find here decorative touches from here and elsewhere… Just a few bamboos and perfectly chosen wooden garden armchairs succeed in transporting us to a distant universe. This garden shows us nicely that outdoor decoration does not need to be overloaded to be successful. A few decorative objects such as a Buddha, a beautiful handcrafted terracotta vase or lanterns hung on the walls and your garden will assert its style.
N°3: THE BOHEMIAN-STYLE COUNTRY GARDEN
We love this rural and natural garden! This light decoration with an ephemeral and nomadic aspect offers simple moments spent with family or friends. Have you ever dreamed of having a light-hearted picnic in your garden?
Blankets spread out on the grass, a few decorative accessories such as flowers, or light garlands for long summer evenings, breathe a little bohemian wind and a bit of freedom into the garden! You can also very well install this decoration on a terrace. With a nice ethnic carpet and comfortable floor cushions, your evenings will have a special flavor.
No bohemian decoration without the famous teepee! It is both very aesthetic in the garden but also practical to protect yourself from the sun. Creating a new relaxation area, it appeals to young and old alike. Notably because it exudes carelessness and childhood, the decorative tent is making a comeback in the garden. It immediately gives this hippie atmosphere that we love so much at the moment.
A real decorative asset, the tipi allows you to have the feeling of withdrawing from the world and reading (or taking a nap) in peace. Purchased or made by yourself, with a few branches and your most beautiful colored cover, your garden will have a soft and free atmosphere.
N°4: THE INTIMATE AND FRIENDLY GARDEN-TERRACE
This intimate terrace offers simple and warm comfort. Halfway between two styles, this hybrid decoration is very user-friendly. It makes us particularly want to spend long evenings discussing and remaking the world with friends. This outdoor terrace is part of this trend that we have been seeing for a few years, which is to extend the interior to the exterior for an even more cocooning effect.
This garden has a very ethnic style with its poufs, its cushions with geometric patterns, its small coffee table and its very graphic kilim rug. But it also borrows the codes of Scandinavian decor. This outdoor space in particular carries the Danish concept of “hygge”. New decorative trend, this term means feeling protected from the outside world and being lulled by a soft atmosphere.
The wooden coating of the terrace is an integral part of the natural elements of this trend. It evokes in particular the comfort of Nordic chalets and houses. This garden is a real “hyggekrog” (little cozy corner). It gives the impression of being in a cocoon with its plaids, light garlands in the guinguette spirit and other decorative objects that exude comfort.
N°5: THE MODERN GARDEN WITH GEOMETRIC LINES
This modern garden features a clean, geometric style. Very structured, it is divided into different spaces which represent distinct zones, like the rooms of the house. Each has its own use. We particularly appreciate the terrace area dressed entirely in wood. A real warm and friendly place to live with its large barbecue, it looks like an extension of the house. The furniture found in this garden are simple and elegant pieces such as a table or chair with rectilinear shapes.
We love this garden because it is timeless. Both simple and elaborate, you can’t get enough of it. Its main asset is that it handles contrasts and textures to perfection. To organize these different living spaces, the garden plays on the levels and structures the areas with low walls, vegetation or even stairs. Note that the very green lawn also has its role to play since it contributes to the calm and relaxing atmosphere of the garden.
N°6: THE GREEN GARDEN THAT BREATHES NATURE
This garden makes us dream since it plunges us into the very heart of the forest and exudes simplicity. A simple wooden garden table , accompanied by its green plastic chairs, fits perfectly into the green decor outside. Here, the accumulation of plants and trees gives an effect of lush greenery. This atmosphere acts on our mind and makes us take a break suspended in time. This garden responds to what is expected of such a space: to allow us to breathe and slow down.
N°7: THE WOODEN PERGOLA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARDEN
A little shaded corner of paradise in your garden, the pergola or arbor is a decorative arrangement that we all dream of having. Having become a living space in its own right, it is a kind of second living room that extends your interior. First of all, it is very practical since it brings shade to the garden. But it also allows you to create a marked and friendly corner where you can receive your friends in a more spacious place than the interior.
Who has never dreamed of having a small refuge in the middle of their garden to escape? This room in nature gives a feeling of escape just a stone’s throw from your home. Regarding its layout, everything is permitted. Wrought iron garden furniture for an elegant and refined touch, outdoor rugs for a more cozy effect and decorative flower pots will completely revamp your space. For an even trendier outdoor decor, don’t hesitate to hang a pretty hanging chair.
N°8: MINIMALISM AND RELAXATION FOR THE GARDEN
A dream garden, for some, does not necessarily rhyme with a swimming pool or a large outdoor lounge, but with freedom and space. This one, simple and uncluttered, is not cluttered with too much information but is more than enough on its own. Escape, calm and serenity are the key words of this easy and unpretentious outdoor space. With a simple hammock or a swing, you have a suspended relaxation or reading area that is enough to make the most beautiful swimming pools blush.
To make your garden even more decorative, you can also hang a few lanterns on the branches of the trees. This trick will brighten up your sweet evenings and enjoy a comfortable atmosphere, even in the evening.
N°9: THE BUCOLIC GARDEN OF A THOUSAND COLORS
We love this bucolic garden that exudes well-being and nature. The lush vegetation, which mixes green plants, shrubs, flowers and trees of all kinds, invites you to relax and rest. These shades of green make us travel and give an impression of a real little garden of Eden where climbing plants set the tone.
With this exterior, disconnection is guaranteed. The pool, lined with a thousand and one plants, looks like an oasis and promises pleasant sunbathing. While the white trellis-style fence guarantees the privacy of the place. The garden furniture, meanwhile, and its woven resin deckchairs are all relaxing elements that contribute to the charm of this space.
N°10: THE TROPICAL GARDEN THAT SMELLS LIKE HOLIDAYS
This magnificent long garden smells like holidays and invites us to escape into a bubble of well-being. Wooden terrace, tropical plants, azure blue swimming pool… everything is there to take full advantage of the sun and the outdoors. It is not surprising that this type of garden with an exotic and tropical style is attracting more and more people. It invites a change of scenery and takes us away from everyday life for a moment.
Rest, decompression and calm punctuate this place with its very special atmosphere. All that remains is to add some nice outdoor furniture. Choose the one that will best accompany your decoration: chaise-longue, garden chair, outdoor table, armchair or stool, the choice is yours to create a complete well-being space.
