Follow6 DIY Makeover Tips to Bring Life and Color to Your Garden
Whether you own a home or you are renting, there are some stylish and beautiful DIY makeover tips that you can employ to bring life and color to your garden. After all, just as every space in your home is important, so is your garden. Here are some free or inexpensive things that you can do to brighten up your outdoor living space.
Add a Picket Fence
A cute picket fence of about 2 – 3 meters tall painted with the color of your choice is a great addition to your yard. It serves to create a partition or boundary between one part of your house or garden to the other. Therefore, next time you take a walk around your area, collect the wood pallets tossed away by their owners, or, cut off some bamboo shoots after ‘politely’ asking the owners for permission, and build a picket fence. It makes a huge difference.
Plant a Rose Garden
Planting a rose garden is one of the most memorable activities that you can do in your yard. By visiting your local farmers’ market, you will be able to buy a rose variety that is suitable for your garden. A closer interaction with the suppliers of roses will give you some free handy insights on how to grow and nurture your young roses. If you are renting your current property, planting the rose garden in pots or trunks will make it easier for you to move with them when the time comes for you to do so.
Add a Bird Feeder
Most discount stores scattered across the country will have a close version, if not exact, of a bird feeder. Regardless of whether you have birds in your garden, electing an elegant bird feeder will give your garden a certain ambience that makes them welcome. Also, with a little ingenuity on your part, you might be able to build a bird feeder from scratch with recycled items.
Potted Plants
Using some choice pots to plant your plants or flowers or herbs is a great addition for your backyard paradise. They not only add color and life to your garden, but they also add good detail. You can plant your choice of plants or flowers depending on the colors that catch your fancy. Moreover, planting some of the herbs that you use in your kitchen will help you have fresh herbs all through, hence cutting back on that extra dollar too. Some herbs that grow easily in a pot are scallions (green onions), garlic, basil (mint), cilantro (coriander), rosemary, etc.
Standing or Hanging Lights
Bringing life to any space is usually incomplete without lamps or lights. The wealth of a garden, no matter how big or small, accentuated by the stylish addition of lamps or lights, is simply delightful. Nowadays, there are affordable solar lamps that one can erect in the yard or hang on the fence or on the outside wall of the house. Their sophisticated poise makes a walk round your yard in the night all the more surreal and personal.
