Nothing is more relaxing than sitting in a serene garden filled with flowers, greenery, and beautiful garden accessories. There are a variety of garden accessories available to enhance the beauty and ambience of your garden. From wind chimes to pergolas, you can creatively decorate your garden, whether large or small, which will not only make it a calm haven but will also make your garden attractive to visitors. Wind chimes make great garden accessories. The gentle tinkling of a wind chime can be very soothing as you rest or work in your garden. These days, wind chimes come in different varieties and styles that you may have a hard time choosing one for your garden. Take a pick from glass, pewter, wood, or even bamboo, and the styles can range from elegant, ethnic, to chic and simple. Along with wind chimes, you can also include garden bells in an assortment of sizes. They add visual appeal to your outdoor spaces.
Fountains can make your garden come alive the minute you place one inside it. You might like small fountains that look pretty surrounded by vines or large ones that will act as the visual focal point of the garden. Otherwise, go one step further and install an enchanting waterfall fountain. Imagine sitting on a garden swing right in front of your own waterfall.
If you enjoy watching different kinds of birds, then you can place a birdhouse in
the centre or in a corner of your garden. Not only will this enhance the beauty of your garden, but will also attract a large variety of unusual birds. Feel free to add other items such as bird baths and bird feeders.
Another great idea, though a little expensive, is to add a small fish pond or a large earthen urli (flat cauldron) with floating flowers and candles in the centre of your garden. Light up the candles when you entertain. Enhance the ambience by adding soft lighting around the periphery of the garden and behind plants or a water feature. To add to the dramatic effect, install an arbour or an arch right above the garden gate. Ask your gardener to plant flowering vines like jasmine so that the entrance makes for a breathtaking view.
To add spunk and spirit to a drab garden, you can have unusual accessories like a wind vane, sundial, or even a small wooden windmill which will spruce up a garden in no time. To make your garden functional yet beautiful, opt for sturdy wrought iron furniture in jet black or bottle green. Add a swing for two, dainty tables with wrought iron tea lights, or for that Parisian look, add tall old-fashioned street lamps along a cobbled walkway.
For the garden boundary, plant tall ferns which will provide privacy naturally while looking pretty. Add brightly coloured flowering plants in separate planters all around the boundary for easy maintenance and a neat look. For the walls, you can add a clay painted figure of Ganesha or Krishna right in the wall. Ask your mason for a good and sturdy way to do this. A stone tortoise or even a pair of storks placed strategically around a tall plant or a water feature will attract attention and look refreshingly unique.
With all of these new garden accessories your garden will be one that will enchant your guests while giving you countless hours of happy relaxation
