Most gardens are decorated with whimsical decor or displays that have personal meaning. And the majority creating the personality of so many gardens and landscapes is generally of a recycled or antique nature. New, modern, and purchased garden decor like gazing balls has its place. However, there is a lot to be said for the atmosphere and mystery that the antique and unusual can add to gardens and landscaping.
Whether purchased, found, borrowed, or recycled, personal garden decor can be almost anything. From decorative pots to old bicycles with baskets filled with flowers, it’s simply a matter of meaning, preference, or theme. So while some folks have a clear vision of theme and direction of their gardens, others may still need ideas to decorate. For those folks, we’ve created a directory at garden decor ideas that has pictures and ideas for decorating gardens and landscaping with common elements and antiques.
Generally, garden decor and decoration is more noticeable in small garden ideas than in large landscapes. In most instances it’s not that there is more of it but rather in small areas like patio design and courtyards there is more of a concentration where more pieces of decor can be visible at the same time.
Look through the directory, get some ideas, and be creative. The final touches of decorating your garden or landscaping should be something personal. And the pieces you need may just be laying around.
