Imagine the sun on your face, a cooling breeze, and the sound of lapping water as you relax in your own garden. Sounds like a vacation in Ibiza, right? But why wait for those few weeks a year? With an Ibiza garden, you can simply bring that wonderful, relaxing atmosphere to your own home! We tell you how to go about it.
What is an Ibiza garden?
An Ibiza garden is inspired by the popular Spanish island of Ibiza, known for its laid-back atmosphere, bohemian influences and Mediterranean style. This garden is all about natural and comfortable elements. Think light colors, warm materials and atmospheric decoration. It is the perfect place to relax completely, all year round.
How do you create an Ibiza garden?
First, decide what is important to you in your garden. Do you want mainly lounging, dining or a mix of both? Make a simple sketch of your garden. For example, take into account sun and shade areas. This will help you choose the right layout later. Do you have no idea where to start? Then BURO Buiten will be happy to help you with a beautiful design!
Natural materials
Natural materials give your garden a warm and soothing look. For example, choose wood, which is perfect for decking, pergolas or garden furniture. Untreated wood provides a robust look, while white-painted wood gives a fresh and light look. Rattan and bamboo are ideal for chairs, tables and accessories. These materials are durable and instantly add a tropical touch to your garden. Use natural stone such as stone tiles or boulders for an authentic patio. This material is easy to maintain and can withstand all weather conditions.
Fresh use of color
Light colors make your garden look more spacious and soothing. Choose basic colors such as white, beige and sand for walls, furniture and large surfaces. These shades exude tranquility and simplicity and provide a timeless foundation. Add soft accents in pastel blue, turquoise or sunny yellow to create a cheerful, summer atmosphere. Pillows, plaids or decorative accessories such as pots and vases are popular options for this.
Comfort in your Ibiza garden
An Ibiza garden calls for a relaxing lounge area where you can enjoy sunny days and balmy evenings. Choose a spot in your garden that offers enough privacy and shelter. Here you can place a comfortable lounge sofa with thick cushions in neutral tones for a stylish look. Consider a hammock or hanging chair for a playful and relaxing effect. These are easy to attach to trees or a pergola. Beanbags or loungers are also a good choice if you want to create a more informal seating area. Complete the look with an outdoor rug that adds warmth and style to the seating area. This will instantly give your garden a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Planting Ibiza garden
Greenery plays a big role in an Ibiza garden. Choose plants that are low maintenance and can withstand drought. An olive tree is a perfect choice; this iconic tree instantly creates a Mediterranean look and can be planted in a large pot. Lavender should not be missed as it provides color, fragrance and attracts bees and butterflies. This adds life to your garden. Cacti and succulents fit well in warm environments and require very little care. Use ornamental grasses for a playful and natural effect. The long plumes of these grasses move nicely with the wind and add dynamism to the garden.
Atmospheric lighting
Lighting makes your garden magical at night and creates an inviting atmosphere. Hang strings of lights above your patio or along a fence for a festive effect. These lights instantly create a cozy ambiance. Place lanterns on tables or along paths to diffuse warm, soft garden lighting. This is ideal for long summer evenings outside. Candles are an easy way to create a romantic atmosphere. Place large windlights with candles for added style. Use spotlights to highlight beautiful plants or special objects in your garden. This will give your garden a beautiful accent even at night.
Bohemian accessories
Bohemian accessories are stylish, often handmade decorative items with a free, artistic feel. Choose macramé pendants that you can put plants in or hang on the wall. These handmade decorations enhance the boho (aka bohemian) atmosphere. Dreamcatchers are a nice addition for a playful and mystical effect. You can hang them from a pergola or in a tree. Woven baskets are also useful as storage for plaids or magazines. Place pillows and plaids with different patterns and textures on sofas and chairs to make it extra comfortable. Driftwood and shells give a beach feel and can be incorporated into decorative bowls or wall decorations.
