Decorative finishing touches for the modern front yard - collection of ideas

In modern front garden design, three concepts are particularly popular. In sunny locations, homeowners like to opt for a Mediterranean style or a combination of gravel and grass. If the focus is on an easy-care front garden or an entrance area on the north side, the trend is towards a Zen garden. The following collection of ideas sums up which decorative elements you can use to spice up these trendy front gardens:

  • Wall fountains, sundials and terracotta buckets create a Mediterranean atmosphere
  • Benches, water features and raised beds made of gabions underline the modern ambience
  • Buddha figures, stone lanterns and boulders harmonize with the Zen garden

With decorative items in a shabby look, you can create a stylish contrast to the basic minimalist mood in the modern front garden. Garden chairs made of weathered wood or a statue covered with patina create exciting effects.

Nostalgic decoration enchants the classic front garden - this is how it works

Laying out the classic front garden from scratch with a lawn, house tree and perennial bed quickly exceeds the financial means. You can breathe new life into your old-fashioned entrance area with clever decorative elements from the flea market. Here are some tips to get your imagination going:

  • Paint old car tires colorful and plant them with flowers or perennials
  • Remove the seat cushion from the upholstered chair from the flea market, fill in the potting soil and plant with sedum
  • Convert a zinc tub, milk jug or wash tub from the flea market into a planter
  • Imaginatively plant old shoes, suitcases, drawers and other found objects from the attic

Resourceful home gardeners have discovered disused Euro pallets (€29.99) to make flower boxes (€16.99), seating furniture, bed borders (€12.90) and other stylish decorations. With a bit of luck, you can even get hold of discarded wooden pallets free of charge in the surrounding logistics companies and turn them into a great decorative element for your front garden.

tips

All efforts to create a beautiful front yard are in vain if the first thing that catches the eye is the rubbish bin. Even a simple privacy screen made of reed mats, tall ornamental grass or a narrow gabion wall hides the indispensable and unsightly waste bin from the eyes of visitors and passers-by.
