Ideas of using garden arches in the country
Each summer resident strives to decorate and ennoble his plot, so that work, and especially rest, is as comfortable and pleasant as possible. To bring pleasure, and there was something to surprise the guests. One solution can be the use of such a decorative element as a garden arch.
Multifunctional in nature, it is able to add a patch of mystery or chic, shady coolness or brightness, become the center of attention or emphasize the chosen area.
Probably few people know that the appearance of the arch we owe to Ancient Mesopotamia, the architecture of which this element entered already in the second millennium BC! In landscape design, the garden arch has already taken its rightful place, which is not surprising - with so many thousands of years of experience.
There are many options for using arches, and to describe all ideas is tedious and meaningless, for human imagination knows no limits. Therefore, I propose to consider the main ways in the context of two parameters: by quantity (individually standing or group) and by purpose (decor, zoning, shadow creation, etc.).
And one in the field.
The most common option is the installation of freestanding arches to create a spectacular “point” accent both directly on the site itself and when designing the entrance to the cottage. Wrapped with roses, clematis or other climbing plant, the arch will decorate any corner of the garden.
No restrictions on height or place. Even a meter arch is quite capable of attracting increased attention, and it will be installed near the house, in the center of the site or in the farthest corner - there is someone for what to go.
Also, a good decoration can serve as an arch for the garden path. Especially if the road is surrounded by grass. Such a bright accent on a green background can not but attract.
Surprise the guests! Mounted on a balcony or veranda, this design looks unusual and very original.
In my opinion, a very good idea is to combine the pleasant with the useful: install an arch above the bench - it is both beautiful and will be where to hide from the scorching summer sun.
Not inferior to traditional floral-green options and arches without decor with plants.
Do you want to create a medieval atmosphere? In this case, the most successful material for the arch will be stone.
For lovers of oriental style, a simple wooden arch is suitable, and a couple of weigel bushes, rhododendron or adiantium will add Japanese sophistication and grandeur.
Agree, these arches look gorgeous!
A little female trickery. Arch, like any element of decor, can not only decorate the garden, but also hide minor defects or defects of buildings, fence or other element of the suburban area.
A separate block wants to highlight the use of the arch in the design of the gate and fence, because the tone of the entire site is set by the entrance.
Make a first impression
The theater begins with a hanger, and the dacha - with a wicket. Using its various types and forms, with the help of the arch you can achieve any desired impression: chic, style, sophistication or fairy tale - what is enough imagination.
Cozy and gentle looks a wooden arch in combination with a fence from a picket. This design can be supplemented with roses, clematis, honeysuckle or another plant at will.
Decorate the entrance is quite capable of even a simple unpainted wooden gate with an arch, entwined with ivy or grapes. As they say, simple, but with taste!
A large metal arch with a small openwork gate will not hide the site from prying eyes, but will add refinement. Such an entrance does not even need additional vegetable decor, it itself serves as a chic decoration.
An interesting combination of a stone basement, a metal fence and an openwork low arch with a gate gives rise to the feeling that these stone steps lead to a fabulous garden, and somewhere there is a magical house.
The overgrown arch creates an atmosphere of mystery, doesn’t it? However, to achieve this, you have to wait more than one year. Not even two. But I think it's worth it.
Round stone arch and uneven masonry fence look very original and stylish, even without a wicket.
As an idea, you can supplement such an arch with a wooden round gate with a large round handle in the center. I'm sure the Tolkienists would be delighted :
Meanwhile, I want to add: the arch at the entrance is spectacular and beautiful without any doubt, but in the pursuit of the idea, do not forget about harmony. No matter how beautiful and elegant a wooden arch is, it will look rather ridiculous against the background of a metal fence, right? Organicity is an important condition, do not neglect it.
In fact, the options for using freestanding arches are much more. There would be a wish and an arch would be found : You can buy ready-made ones, order according to your project or make them yourself, creating your own unique style. Don't be afraid to improvise.
However, arches are used not only separately, but also in groups. The decorative value of garden arches is difficult to overestimate, but in addition to aesthetic pleasure, arches are quite capable of solving a number of other issues. For example, by installing several arches in a row, we will create a small tunnel. Such a corridor can be organized both at the entrance and above any garden path or area. By the way, this construction is called pergola.
With the help of arches it is quite possible to make even a whole alley! This design will visually lengthen the space. And if you improvise with combinations of climbing plants, you can get a kind of flower greenhouse. Then the alley will please not only cool shade, but also beautiful bright compositions.
I think no one would refuse to take a walk on a hot summer day in such a flower gallery.
And if you add a bench to this beauty, you will get a wonderful recreation area.
If there is no desire to limit the space on both sides, it is quite possible to put a number of arches along the path. It will make a beautiful flower wall.
Zoning, that is, the conditional division of the suburban area into functional parts, is an important issue for the vast majority of summer residents. I think it is clear that the construction of capital walls or blank partitions at least impractical, besides, do not forget about the appearance of the garden as a whole. To solve the problem of zoning garden space will help arches.
For example, an arch can separate the floral part from the garden. This is both aesthetically pleasing and will increase the number of crops that can be planted in border areas without fear of cucumbers ripening on your favorite roses.
Also, arches can be noted recreation area. I am sure that such an arched arbor will certainly become a favorite place of pastime.
But zoning can be carried out not only on the entire garden plot as a whole, but also within any one part of it. Here is an example where a group of keel-shaped wooden arches divides a garden area into beds. Comfortable, and it looks great.
