The Outdoor Decorator: Inspirational Ideas for the Garden

by TessaEvelegh (Author)

Synopsis

Reinventing your garden has never been easier. You can take the principles of home decoration outside to add atmosphere and style to your garden room whatever its shape or aspect. Outdoor floors are given innovative treatments using shells, pebbles or mosaic, while walls and fences respond beautifully to paint effects and creative plasterwork. A clever use of easy-to-make accessories can enhance even vegetable plots and dull practical elements, while exciting ideas and treatments for boxes, baskets, pots and planters show how to develop a decorative theme with colour and charm. Ideas in this book are inexpensive and easily achieved, and should provide inspiration for creative projects of your own. Richly illustrated with colour photographs, The Outdoor Decorator shows you how to create a visually stunning outdoor retreat with a true sense of personal style.
