Modern Art Garden: FROM INDOORS, the view through the windows into the garden is at least as important as the view from any vantage point outside. Your garden design must therefore include views that look tempting from inside, from the rooms where you spend most time. If you are lucky enough to look out over open rural views or a fine cityscape, make sure the garden design blends with the background. A rustic garden-style design is much more suitable for a rural area than a modern art garden design, in the same way as a modern art garden design will look better in an urban area.
The inclusion of an arresting object within a small garden is an excellent way of detracting the eye from adjacent buildings and into the garden itself. The focal point in this garden is an ornate wrought-iron seat, which leads the eye down the garden. The rather austere rectangular lawn is surrounded by a mass of pretty, shrubby little plants, which together help to soften the overall look of the garden.
There are many ways of increasing the sense of depth in a garden. Vistas can be emphasized and "lengthened" by stressing the distant perspective. Eye-catching features can be used to draw the eye away into the distance, but there is no need to rely solely on the contents of your garden to do this. Make use of the landscape outside: let the outside world become the focus of your garden vista. If you are fortunate enough to have a garden with an extensive view, make the most of it. Use trees and shrubs to frame a glimpse of the scene beyond the garden. |
