The splendor of modern gardens
What characterizes a modern garden in general? Above all, a strong interplay of lines, where lines continue throughout the garden, even to the entrance to the house. It is uncluttered and sleekly designed. In short, a modern garden starts with effective landscaping. We will tell you more about the design of the modern garden below.
Select some favorite plant species
A modern garden is usually laid out with only a few of your favorite plant species. On the one hand, this gives an uncluttered look and, on the other, ensures that maintenance is relatively low. After all, those same plants all need to be cared for in the same way. Ideal for people with busy lives. Moreover, these are often plants that are relatively easy to maintain and can be cut into tight shapes. Examples are the yew, laurel and Japanese holly.
Create ample seating space throughout the garden
In a modern garden, the focus is not on the planting, but rather on the seating areas. You provide several places where you can linger, so that you can preferably enjoy both sun and shade at every hour during daylight. Even in small gardens, by the way, seating areas are central. Optionally, you can choose a modern canopy or a garden pavilion, which you can, for example, finish off sleekly with metal beams.
Choose sustainable materials
A modern garden tends to use durable materials that are long-lasting and easy to maintain. These include steel, gravel, glass and concrete, but really any material that has a smooth surface. The accent colors are somewhat darker, predominantly gray, possibly combined with shades of white and green.
Go for the perfect balance of various garden elements
So seating areas take center stage, the planting somewhat less so. Of course, you always strive for a perfect combination between various elements, not forgetting smart garden lighting. Accentuate walkways and provide fine terraces so that you can enjoy your modern garden during the day, at night and at dusk.
