Plays with creativity on the accessories do not have to focus on indoor room, but also inopen spaces (outdoor room) at home. Pillows for example, with a variety of shapes and colors can be interesting accessories, either to fill a couch or bench in the park, swimming pool, or gazebo.

Many design style inspiration you can get from anywhere, whether pop-modern style,Mediterranean, or Latin. Some of these creations, for example, maybe you can make the following considerations :

Although slightly different, the terrace also requires elements of a space filler. Core elements needed to make the patio a great place. Like the interior, terrace also has the floor. Basic materials can be very flexible, whether it uses wood, ceramic, or natural stones with a rough texture. Coarse texture is certainly needed to prevent slip when it gets wet by rain porch.

In addition to the floor, the terrace also need a wall. Well, about the wall is somewhatdifferent from the interior walls. Terrace wall is relatively less, maybe even only limited wallspace that connect with the inner room.

For areas facing the outer space or parks, should not have placed the wall, especiallymassive. The addition of wooden railing (ledge), a low wall of cement (ledge) orbalusterade as a barrier to the park area should be aligned with the overall room terrace.However, it should be noted, the presence of ledge will add beauty or even stifling room.

The existence of the roof also becomes important. The roof terrace is a shade of exposure to hot sun and rain shower. With the roof, sitting on the terrace can be done at any time,either during the heat of the sun and when the rains come.

Usually the park is identical to the grass as filler. However, if you are worried about the ground will pollute the area of ​​the park, especially after the rain poured, make it dry garden.

Dry garden? Indeed, the dry garden does not use grass, but various materials such as cement and rocks. If you need a practical idea, you can fill this garden floor with white pebbles to cover all surfaces.

Want to be more attractive? Please fill in your dry garden with a checkerboard pattern using cement. Then, the pattern is filled with various types and colors of natural stone as desired.

So that no scattered rocks, make a difference in level between the floor with the dividing line of the cement. If you still want the grass, then plant in the area within the box or make the pattern lines.

Another idea is to make a brush concrete. Namely, the layer of cement mixed with smallstones as wet cement, then brushed with a wire brush to accentuate texture. Brush concrete is durable, easy to clean and maintain floors so as not slippery especially when wet. (Maria Jaclyn)

Now, with more limited open space in your home, does not mean making the garden into the impossible. Garden can be created by combining elements of hard and soft. Harsh elements represented garden furniture and soft elements of the plant or filler tree.You can combine creativity appropriate to look more perfect.

For the minimalist look, you can choose the simple form of garden furniture , made from a durable material. For example, cement, stone, glass, or plastic.

Furniture made from cement can suit the needs of your creations, such as pots in the front yard. Cement pots can be made according to the type, number of plants as well as the proportion of land area. Despite the impressive weight, material made from cement proved more durable than natural materials, like bamboo and wood.

In addition to pots, you can be creative to create benches, garden tables, and the garden lights house(bonnet). However, given the material properties of cement heavy and hard to move, make sure the correct placement of your liking.

For placement of pots made from plastic and glass, you should place it on the side porch and rear, and side yard. It aims to not wear out too quickly exposed to the sun and weather changes.

To add an element of cool, you can re-play elements of glass or plastic for aquarium fish. The aquarium can be placed at the corner of the terrace, to soften the harsh elements of material other patio furniture.

Cement based materials can you make in the form of an artificial waterfall ornament with minimalist concept. Another form is the vessel pair, sculpture fountain, and fish pond. For making a fish pond, do not forget to equip it with a circulation of water from pipes in the bottom of the pool installation and fabric filters to filter out impurities.

Meanwhile, in choosing the right plants, you should select the type of plants are easy to maintain, let alone you belong to has a solid routine every day. Choose plants that can tolerate dry conditions, such as aloe vera and Adenium.

As an alternative barrier plants, you can choose the tea-resistant crops or yellow iris. While the use of grass can wear a mini elephant grass species.

If you have this, the presence in your home garden will provide the elements conditioning and refreshment. No matter how large in size, if the park can be laid out nicely, it would be unsightly and add aesthetic value occupancy. Happy creating!

Functions other than the mirror reflects light and adds a glamorous, it makes it easier when searching for objects in the closet. Make sure when installing the mirror, according to the size to fit the results.
