Ideas for a creative privacy in the garden
In order to protect your own garden from prying eyes or to separate certain parts of a garden from each other, garden owners tend by default to sight hedges and various types of walls. With a bit of creativity and courage, the functional privacy screen also becomes a design element for a contemporary recreation area in the countryside.
Use the winter for painting a privacy fence
Usually, wooden fences in the garden are painted in dull greyish brown or inconspicuous hunter green. How about a change and the desired Pep in a family garden with a picket fence with cheeky patterned fence slats? This garden project can be realized with the whole family as wintry crafts in a small workshop or in the hobby room in the basement, which is well protected against splashes of paint. Just grab the following items and you can start painting:
Then paint to your heart's content the fence slats with different patterns or motifs. Kids are usually thrilled when they can admire their own painting work in summer on their own picket fence.
Window on the screen as an optical illusion and decorative sophistication
In recent years, a fun design trend for the garden is taking more and more around: Here are mounted on wooden screen walls real or replica window frames, which are provided instead of the usual glazing with a mirror. The result is the optical illusion that the mirror acts like a window through which one can look into the surroundings. There is hardly a more attractive way to visually enhance the gray concrete wall of a garage on the neighboring property. In order to additionally strengthen the window effect, a balcony box with geraniums or hanging petuniums can be mounted under the window.
Climbing plants at the lattice fence
In a small garden, when it comes to the topic of privacy, you quickly come across spatial boundaries. On a very limited garden surface, it may therefore make sense to use climbing plants such as ivy as a year-round green screen with minimal space requirements. As a cost-effective and easy to install trellis iron grids offer. These should (though probably overgrown soon) be galvanized for durability.
As charming as a castle ruin: the irregularly shaped stone wall
Stone baskets (or "gabions") are nowadays considered to be a particularly fast and at the same time permanent variant of a stone wall in the garden. Visually much more charming, however, are the stone walls, which are shaped like a historic castle ruin. Ideally, their irregular height course and integrated hanging pots for flowers make them stand out from historic bricks made of demolished houses. Please note, however, that the construction of such stone walls often requires separate authorizations from the local building authority.
Tips
Do you have access to discarded wooden pallets from a business via your relatives or acquaintances? Then simply build casual lounge furniture in your garden and a trendy privacy screen made from old pallets, which you can sand down or varnish to your own taste.
