As the warm season approaches, landscaping becomes an increasingly important concern for those who live in houses. However, creating a small paradise in our yards requires not only financial investments but also a certain aesthetic sense.
For landscaping a dream garden, it's not just about the plant varieties you choose, the furniture items, or the types of paving, but also how these elements are combined.
Casa's story called upon architect Diana Stere to give us some general advice from the perspective of a specialist with experience in this field. Here are some ideas that Diana offers to help us plan our yard or garden intelligently:
The exterior of the house and the garden/yard are an extension of the interior. It is necessary to create a unified whole and fluidity between the two zones.
Color, textures, and materials used play an important role. Depending on the style envisioned for the project, materials will be selected. The textures of the materials are dictated by the visual and tactile sensations that the architect wants to imprint on the concept.
Lighting also plays a vital role, both natural and artificial, which can be used to highlight certain areas or create a particular atmosphere.
The furniture used also plays a significant role. It is an element that shapes the entire landscaping. It can be more sober, in a neutral color palette, or it can have a more special design and in tones contrasting with the rest of the space.
The "green" zone is very important; it can be in the form of a lawn, a vertical garden, decorative shrubs or climbing plants, or in the form of large, decorative pots with special plants.
We all agree that the most pleasant summer evenings are those spent outdoors. In case you decide to start landscaping your yard, you should think that this is where you will receive your guests, and the first impression is formed from the moment they step over the threshold. Therefore, it is very important to consider the advice of an expert before starting work.
The beauty of a landscape design involves a certain degree of symmetry. Maintain this symmetry when choosing the elements that will be part of the yard's decor.
