Decorate garden chair in style - tips and ideas
In a stylish garden are not only a green lawn, many flowers, trees and shrubs - also decorative furniture contribute to the overall picture. If you have broken garden chairs or old chairs no longer fit the garden style, they can be wonderfully used as a decorative furniture.
Decorate a garden chair in style
To stylishly decorate a garden chair, you have many options. Get creative and think about how the chair best suits the style of your garden.
The first thing to remember is what material your garden chair consists of:
Plastic chairs are almost impossible to change because they would damage them too much. Wooden chairs offer the advantage that you can saw holes in the seat and thus also bring deeper planters. Wood is often not as weather-resistant as other materials.
A garden chair made of iron or metal can not be changed, but decorate it very durable.
Prepare garden chair before decorating
Iron and metal chairs do not need to be prepared. They radiate a very special flair when they are embellished with moss and verdigris and enrich the garden.
Wooden chairs should be treated with wood preservatives before decorating. You can also paint the wood with colored paint to give the chair a different color.
What should be considered when selecting plants?
If you just want to put a bowl of plants on the seat of the chair, spring flowers or colorful summer flowers are a good choice depending on the season. Climbers such as Wicken or Morning Glory, which you drape over the back of the chair, look especially pretty. If the garden chair is in a shady location, plants such as ivy or Jelängerjelieber are recommended.
If the garden chair is to remain outside during the winter, choose hardy plants, for example small perennials. A winter cover is still necessary. Also, you must occasionally water the plants in very dry winters.
Tips
Place a garden chair directly on the lawn or ground, making sure that your legs can not sink. For wooden chairs, screw cross struts under your feet, for other chairs there are slip-on caps to prevent sinking in the floor.
