Well in the country - interesting ideas of design

The times when wells were widely used for their intended purpose, some of us are familiar only by hearsay. And yet neither centralized water supply nor well drilling will probably ever completely abolish or replace these once commonplace elements of the country landscape. Wells since ancient times were endowed with magical power: they saw the gates to other worlds, they were used in various rituals and rituals. Today, we no longer remember the symbolism of wells, and water is most often taken from the tap, but these structures still appear in the dachas - albeit as a decoration. Well, if your well also serves as a source of life-giving moisture - the more reasons to make it not only comfortable, but also beautiful. How? I got an idea! And not even one...


If now and dig wells, then for their arrangement most often use concrete rings, lowering them into the mine. The same ring crowns the building, not decorating it with its appearance and dull gray color. What if I paint?

Agree: in such a bright performance, even a simple concrete ring looks very expressive! Despite the fact that this version of the decor is extremely simple in execution and fits even the most modest budget) Here's another amazingly beautiful idea:

Pay attention to contrasting combinations and juicy, clean shades. Add white and the sunshine is guaranteed. Do you want to create a Mediterranean atmosphere? Take advantage of this idea!

In artistically gifted natures, the appearance of a white leaf (canvases, walls, etc. – it is necessary to emphasize) probably immediately awakens the thirst for creativity. And these masterpieces are born:

But even in the absence of obvious pictorial talents, you should not be upset: you can make a stencil painting, or create a geometric pattern, or be inspired by abstract paintings - everything is in your hands! You like the idea? Hands in hand!

Floral decoration

And you can leave the well deliberately simple, even rough - flowers look especially spectacular against this background.

Yes, of course, floral decoration is an idea, rather, for decorative wells. It is difficult to imagine how to draw water from a structure magnificently decorated with greenery and all kinds of flowers:

But if you do not need a water source, and you still want to build a well on the site, then perhaps it is the floral decor that will help to successfully fit it into the existing country landscape. And what is especially valuable: container plants are perfect for decoration, and this is an opportunity to “try on” certain combinations, “play with style”, look for the right color solutions, changing the composition to your taste and mood.

And you can also plant climbing perennial or annual plants next to the building, allowing them to braid the structure. The main thing is not to lose the well itself behind the expressive live decor!
From what, from what, from what. . .

The material from which the well is made must necessarily be combined with the environment. So, next to a wooden house, a well in the form of a simple log house will look most natural.

Please note: traditional for some northern regions wells-houses are convenient and practical. If you intend to use your well regularly, especially in winter, a gable roof will eliminate the tedious cleaning after each snowfall.

And another practical aspect: if children are resting in the country, make a fence higher so that the baby can not bend over the edge, trying to find out what is down there. And be sure to make sure that the well closes well, and it is not possible to open it to children's pens.

Returning to the materials for the construction of wells, I can not help sharing this original idea:

Yes, perhaps, birch logs with bark are short-lived - but how colorful is such a building! Well, those who like monumental buildings, created, as they say, “for centuries”, will probably have a brick or stone well more to taste.

And it is not necessary to build it entirely from natural stone - you can veil the base, imitating stonework.

After all, real stone wells are quite colorful structures. Despite their unconditional originality and other advantages, they will not be appropriate everywhere.

For a brick well, a successful solution will be the design of the adjacent territory with the help of stones. Among other things, it is practical: there are no puddles and soured earth that sticks to your feet. However, convenient approaches should be thought out in advance, equipping any well.

And if the monumental structure seems to you too pathetic, bulky or not quite appropriate in the surrounding environment, a sense of humor and original decor will help smooth the impression.



Whatever your well looks like, for whatever purpose you build it, you will achieve the intended effect only if you managed to achieve a harmonious combination of the building with what surrounds it. It may not be easy to find such a combination – but it’s worth it. See how a very simple - without any frills - well becomes an integral part of the courtyard. Exclusively due to the correct design

Elegant carved well in the next photo attracts eyes, admiring the skillful work of the master. Against the background of a wooden church standing nearby, it looks very organic and natural.

The right accessories

Details are a very important part of the design of the well. There are also many nuances, we will focus on only one thing - water containers. What will it be? Perhaps the usual galvanized bucket is the most practical option for a well, which is constantly used in the household. But even the bucket can be elegant - look:

A much more colorful wooden bagel looks. Just keep in mind: if you intend to use it for its intended purpose - to raise water from the well, it would be nice to find a good master who knows the secrets of manufacturing such products. So that it does not leak, and does not rot from constant contact with moisture, and the taste of water does not spoil.

If you have a decorative well, use the bucket as a container for flowers. You can just put a pot with a flowering plant in it, you can pour the soil and plant annuals - fantasize!
