Interior and exterior have always existedthe principle of unity and struggle of opposites. Today it became especially noticeable: if in an environment of the house we increasingly prefer natural materials, then the plastic stepped into the open spaces of the gardens. In place of the old good wooden fences came panels of bright perspex, plastic nets for modeling hedges changed the camouflage color to flashy colors, the place of the usual linen tents took awnings from ultra-light aluminum. The garden, where the natural scale reigned supreme, played with all the colors of the neon rainbow.
Landscape Design IdeasModern «Zen landscapes are as complex as real carpets and mosaics. The main principle of this summer's garden decor - contrasting colors and clear geometric shapes - is observed even when creating wild landscapes. The choice of available materials is virtually unlimited: from traditional platforms made of planks and rough cobblestones to tiles with optical patterns and plastic parts. And - as a result - a fantastic garden plus visual proof that wildlife and the gifts of scientific progress can live in peace and harmony.
Inanimate hedge
The size of the garden is not of fundamental importance.This spectacular mini lawn is the best example of this. The geometric pattern of optically patterned tiles adds a new dimension. A fence of brightly coloured plexiglass casts coloured shadows on the grass and separates this small masterpiece from the prosaic parking lot next door. This and other illustrations are taken from the book by Joan Clifton, Steven Wooster. Courtyard & Terrace Garden. Annes Publishing Ltd., 2002. www.amazon.com, shop "England. British Books".
Actually
Those who tend to ignore the dictates of fashion andremains a dedicated supporter of all natural, masters of landscape design offer to create the illusion of an abandoned garden. It does not matter which materials are used; the main thing is to make everything look as natural as possible. No one should guess how much effort you should have to grow the moss between the slabs or turn the garden paths into the dried bed of the creek with coarse cobblestones on the bottom. You can also arrange a kind of beach in the garden, laying a small area with a pattern of colored pebbles, or make a wooden flooring reminiscent of a bridge in a fishing village.
From a new angle
You don't need to have any special artistic abilitytalent to decorate the garden with such a mosaic. Simply fill the border with multi-colored mulch, diamonds and triangles. Green islands of grass will break up the strict geometry of this "floor covering", which evokes persistent associations with a picture from a kaleidoscope.
Cherepolositsa
What you see here is a modern interpretation.Zen garden. The traditional lawn has been replaced by an oval area, lined with stripes of multi-colored granular mulch. A border of yellow flowers has been planted around its circumference. Looking at this picture, it is easy to be imbued with the spirit of Buddhist tranquility.
