Giardino Country

Alberto Gualla

Ci siamo recati sulle colline della provincia di Biella per effettuare il sopralluogo in questo bellissimo casale con fienile completamente da ristrutturare. Nelle prime foto si può notare lo stato in cui si trova in questo momento la proprietà. La famiglia che ha deciso di acquistarla si è innamorata subito, come anche noi, del paesaggio, della vista e della natura silenziosa che lo circonda. La bellezza del rustico richiama ai tempi in cui le famiglie erano numerose e questo ci ha ispirato a creare un luogo che farà rivivere quei momenti in cui tutto era pieno di vita. Abbiamo utilizzato materiali quanto più possibile naturali che richiamassero lo stile country, come il legno, i mattoni a vista, il rame e abbiamo sfruttato tutti quegli oggetti di recupero che un tempo venivano utilizzati nelle cascine come vecchie carriole di legno, paioli in rame e botti di vetro. Le persone che hanno acquistato il rustico desideravano una proprietà dove passare il tempo vivere e divertirsi con familiari ed amici quindi abbiamo pensato a diverse zone, ognuna delle quali dedicata ad un'attività da svolgere appunto in famiglia. Un'enorme piscina imponente corre lungo tutto il muro laterale di cinta, mentre dal lato opposto una pergola di legno ricoperta di cannucciato sarà la zona living con il tavolo da pranzo e un'amaca per i momenti di relax. A dividere queste due zone avremo la parte verde del giardino: due grandi aiuole laterali e un'aiuola centrale ospiteranno perenni, graminacee, arbusti da fiore e ortensie. Abbiamo deciso di mantenere una bellissima pianta di vite che era già presente per utilizzarla come frangivista per la zona più divertente del giardino: una pista da ballo!

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
