Spring has sprung and you know what that means, time to get in the
garden. Whether or not you were blessed with a green thumb there are
many simple
home decorating ideas that can spruce up the elegance of any garden.
Adding a statue or bust is one way to give the garden a little
mystique. Statues add character to any outdoor space because they draw
the eye and add something unique. Do you remember watching Secret Garden
as a youngster? The beauty and elegance of that hidden garden came from
the old, artfully distressed statues as well as the gorgeous flowering
vines and trees. It’s a simple and effective way to add instant finesse
to your outdoor space.
Of course, the allure of a statue loses its value in the evening if
there isn’t proper lighting. One of the most personable ways to spice up
your spices is to add the flickering of candlelight. Tin tea lite
candle holders are perfectly simple and they still manage to glow in the
garden. Any outdoor deck or veranda looks more inviting with the glow
of a candle, and the tin holders cast unique shapes of light across the
area.
The warmth of the candles can be added upon with the addition of
incense coils. They can be hung from any structure and give the eye
something intricate to look at while simultaneously giving the nose a
pleasurable scent. Lavender is the perfect scent for a calming
atmosphere.
Debbie,
ReplyDeleteWonderful ideas! I've never seen tin tea leaf candle holders or incense coils like the ones you are showing. They would be perfect in the garden! :)
Oh, I don't have a green thumb at all, although my roses are blooming nicely. These tea lite candle holders are so pretty, and would add a special touch to any backyard.

It’s true, there is something elegant about a statue or bust in the garden. It gives off a sense of mystery sometimes, and is obviously a real eye catcher. Decorations and ornaments aren’t the only thing that can stand out in a garden; you can find some really crafty pieces of furniture that are practical as well. Garden Furniture from Green Squares be like that, and it is reasonably priced, considering that you might not be able to use it all year round in places like the UK!
