Who says garden furniture has to be a standard bench or a classic Adirondack chair? Adding unique or repurposed pieces to your garden creates personality, charm, and a true sense of discovery.
1. The “Found Object” Table
An old, weathered piece can become a beautiful garden feature.
- The Idea: Use a vintage wooden crate, an old sewing machine base, or a large, flat stone as a small side table. Place it next to a chair to hold a cup of tea or a potted plant. The imperfections add character.
2. A Bench with a Purpose
Integrate seating directly into your garden beds.
- The Idea: A simple, sturdy wooden bench placed at the edge of a flower bed invites you to sit and enjoy the view of your garden up close. It frames the space and makes it feel intentional.
3. The Vertical “Wall” Garden
Don’t have floor space? Look up!
- The Idea: Use a wooden pallet, a hanging shoe organizer, or a set of wall-mounted pockets to create a vertical garden. Plant them with succulents, herbs, or trailing flowers like ivy. It’s a living piece of art for a blank fence or wall.
Your garden is an extension of your personal style. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and add pieces that tell a story and make you smile.
