Home Garden Decoration

Although there are plenty of garden decor ideas to choose from, you need to choose one that adds to the garden and is functional in its being placed in a particular location. The type and the size of your decoration should be in harmony with your garden. Are you planning on creating one or more major focal points, or are you going to have numerous, but very subtle ones that will completely blend in the back ground, or a combination of the two? There is no hard and fast rule about the way you should decorate your garden, you can add new or old, even something that's broken, or anything you fancy and adds to your garden's look. While choosing and placing ornamentation for the garden, most people believe that everything has to be placed in an order, straight lines, or height wise. But one can experiment, the idea is to ensure that the flow is maintained and everything is in harmony, even the unkempt look too!

Garden Decorations to Make
Garden decorations when placed appropriately can enhance the beauty of the plants, and accentuate the garden's style and identity. Some garden decorations ideas can be made by you, following is the list.

Bird Feeders: Bird feeders will attract many feathered friends to your garden. Place them in a place where bright colored flowers bloom.

Bird Houses: Bird houses will ensure that the chirpy sounds never desert your garden. Before you make or get one, understand what kind of birds you are looking forward to. The size of your bird house should be in accordance to the birds you plan to give shelter to.

Containers: Container gardening not only enhances the beauty of your plants, but the varied and unusual shapes and sizes available, helps you to make a dull corner interesting.
