Garden decoration does not have to be expensive. Old wood can of course be brought into the garden and creates a romantic flair. In the following we give you ideas and tips for garden decorations made of wood.

Old wooden objects give the garden a vintage flair

Decoration from old wooden objects

Planted wooden chair

There has been an old wooden chair in the attic for a long time that is already too rotten to sit on? Flowers certainly still have a place on the piece of furniture.

  1. Plant a flower pot.
  2. Measure its diameter.
  3. Saw an appropriately sized hole in the seat of the chair.
  4. Put the flower pot inside.

Old wooden carriage

If you are lucky enough to own a disused wooden carriage, you can plant it lavishly or place various flower pots on the loading area. Especially in a cottage garden, this garden decoration proves to be a real eye-catcher.

tips

Also use overhanging vegetation.

garden wardrobe

An old clothes rack does not belong in the bulky waste:

  1. Paint an old hat or clothes rack any color you like.
  2. Hang watering cans on the hooks or use the stand as a hanging basket.(€11.99)

Garden decoration made of wooden boards

signpost

Where is the beach? Surely you know the nostalgic wooden signposts that point in all directions. You can easily rebuild the pillars with old wooden boards, a saw and some paint. Use labels such as "vegetable garden", "terrace lounge" or "playground".

Small cake stand

  1. You will need a long wooden board, three clay pots with plants and flexible metal strands…
  2. Bend the metal around the clay pots to hold them in place.
  3. Gradually screw the ends to the wooden board.
  4. Place the clay pots in the eyelets.

Rustic wooden ladder

Would you like to become a real garden designer? A self-made ladder from old wooden slats could be the first step to success. Simply nail rungs to two long wooden posts. The rungs do not necessarily have to have the same width. The more rustic the better. Lean the finished ladder against the trunk of an apple tree or against the wall of the house and hang small flower pots on the rungs.

tips

Such a ladder made of birch branches looks even more beautiful.

birdhouse

Combine creative garden design with effective use. A bird house made of old wood is quickly built. The only important thing is that you sand down the edges, especially the entrance hole, so that the future residents do not injure themselves. Size and painting are entirely up to you. Birdhouses that you nail to a wooden fence in different shapes and colors look very impressive.
