Finding inspiration for your garden can be tricky. You want it
to be usable, while also feeling creative. If you have kids, or you just want
to tap into your childish side, taking inspiration from fairytales and magic is
a great idea. Many of us go looking for fairies or gnomes in the garden when
we're little, so why not bring them into your home? You can create a magical
land in your own backyard with some fun inspiration from fairy tales, legends
and mythical beasts. It could be fun for both children and adults, and an
interesting way to design your garden.
Build a Fantastical Structure
A fun place where the kids can hide and even adults might be
able to squeeze in can give your garden a standout feature. One idea is to
build a treehouse, which could be anything from a castle to a pirate ship. If
you have a suitable tree or two, you could create an incredibly fun space where
the kids can explore and play. A treehouse isn't the only option though. How
about a little hobbit hole that provides a comfortable den to relax in? Or
perhaps a castle or playhouse that stands on its own. Even a gazebo or a little
cabin or shed could be made to look like a fairytale location.
Light It Up
The right lights can do an awful lot for your fairytale garden.
They can give your garden a magical quality, so it's not just dark at night.
You could start with something simple, like a string of solar-powered lights
through a tree or bush. But if you want to do something more sophisticated, a
company like Allen
Outdoor Solutions can help with permanent outdoor lighting. As well
as creating a magical garden that you can use once the sun has gone down, you
can improve the security of your home and make your garden safer.
Create a Mini World
If you have ever searched for fairies at the bottom of the
garden, creating a mini world in your backyard is a fun idea. You can add tiny
features that make it look like miniature creatures are living around your
home. For an easy, readymade way to do it, you can use doll's
house furniture or other miniatures. It's also easy to find mini
plant pots or small plants, as well as use bird houses. If you're particularly
crafty, you can make your own items too.
Introduce Fairytale Creatures
You might just stick to having some fairytale homes, but you
can also dot some magical creatures around your garden. If you feel like a lot
of the fairy or gnome ornaments you usually get are a bit cheesy, have a look
around to see what else you can find. While some things might look a bit cheap
for the look you want, others will help to give your garden a fun but
sophisticated look.
Create a fairytale garden for your home if you want a fun space
that you can enjoy every day. Adults and children alike can benefit from a
creative outdoor space.
