It is nice to have a garden, even a small one, in which to spend time outdoors - but it is even better when the available space is used to create a pleasant landscape. Sometimes, however, the lack of the right inspiration leads to bland and boring areas, which do not reach their full potential.

So, why not find a project that revives these neglected areas of your garden or courtyard? Flower beds, planters and many other solutions can give a touch of color and beauty that makes one's outdoor spaces much more pleasant.

There are paths and then there are paths: online there are a thousand ideas to create attractive, well-kept paths - like ones with wooden planks placed in the middle of a bed of white pebbles!

Gabions (wire cages) are another decorative element that is not properly used: used as support structures, they can be used in decorative ways, taking on different forms. They can be used, for example, as columns on which to place flower pots!

And for a relaxation corner (in addition to a regular outdoor lounges), why not create relaxation niches, such as one with a sofa, backrest and canopy all-in-one?

Here, the garden is illuminated not only with normal street lamps, but also with beautiful laterns!

Never underestimate the beauty of a row of rectangular flower pots with decorative flowers: this configuration beautifies any enclosure or narrow driveway.

There are wonderful ideas using the supports for climbing plants as decorative elements, choosing those that have the most interesting shapes and forms.

If you don't have space to put up hanging planters, you can create the space: poles of all kinds can support hanging baskets: and you can erect them in the ground, in large pots or even on top of an old tree stump.

It's also nice to combine a row of pots or planters (on the ground) and a row of hanging planters (directly above), coordinating the plants by color (even if they are different species).

In designing flowerbeds on the ground - even those around trees- you can create many different, attractive shapes and forms.

Along walls and fences, let your imagination run free, using recylcled objects to decorate with creativity: a very nice idea is using old window frames!

Have you found the right inspiration for your garden?
