Garden arbour decorating ideas needed

3 years ago

I need some inpiration for colours and how to decorate my arbour. I have a wooden bench which I am prepared to paint but do not know what colour etc. And what accessories I can use.

It's a modern houser & garden so I would like to avoid the counrty cottage style.

Sorry it's a bit misty this morning!

Hi,

If you have a look on Pinterest there are so many options - search 'Painted Arbour' to get some ideas. Personally I would opt for a lighter green with a cream bench seat, then pull cushion fabric using both cream, green and a pop of colour.

Do you have any blooms in the garden that could inspire you ?

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much for the responce !.

My garden flowers are going to be mainly a mixture of whites, greens and pinks, so light green will work perfectly. You can't see from the photo very well but the underside of the roof is light green.

Just a quick note to thank you all for sharing your thought, ideas, experience and time. I especially want to thank Bluenan and decoenthusiaste for being with me through the all process for the last 6 months or so..., just wanted to post few photos of the results (https://www.houzz.com/discussions/any-ideas-for-final-touches-to-this-living-dinning-room-dsvw-vd~569586) as I feel it is not only me who created this space but it is your creations as much as mine. It may not be perfect or according to the the "Rules", but it is Me and my family. Each and every piece was chosen by me in different parts of the world and each one of them has a unique story behind. I am very pleased with my space. I love it! I am very blessed. .... and so I am off to my new project now... Back to school.... that's really going to be hard ;) Thank you all, once again.

It makes me cross that people think they have a right to make some quite negative comments on this post. Masmccar76 put these photos on because she thought people would like to see a genuinely lovely transformation of her garden. Instead there have been some downright nasty comments. By all means make comments but keep them constructive. Houzz is all about is sharing ideas, not about being nasty

not alot happening at the moment, its winter! alotta rain, lotta. but i am bedding down to get this over with and maybe in the spring the spirits will rise once more. i hope so. i would love to feel i was doing something to keep my hopes and dreams alive, i dont see what i can do until the spring. when i bring the topic up, especially to those that moved away and came down this neck of the woods, they say they had friends who felt it was too far too and moved back home. i guess thats how i feel, thats what i want and i just want to be a bit more uplifted, i think rain dampens down things a bit!!! santa Ma Margaret!

From the looks of things, that really is the only place for the sectional. So...can you pull it out just a foot maybe away from the window? Move your tv over the stove if safe to do and try a big plant in that corner where the tv is now. Your painting behind some is way too big for that wall. Move to opposite wall. I would remove the black loves eat and replace with two reading chairs and maybe that end table you have by the sofa. For window treatments I just do not see drapes/curtains working in this room with that sectional.

There are so many lovely shades to choose from. Some do have the country vibe, but I think greys, taupe and greens would sit nicely with the planting. I found these images on Pinterest.

For a contemporary look, why not try a contrasting pale grey for the bench. It can look quite striking.

Alternatively, how about using a contrasting bright colour.
