This outdoor room is stunning, thanks to the clever way that shapes and mass are used. The planted wall has a dominant spiral shape that you can't help but notice. In the foreground, the mass is created by the modern seating as well as by the SYMMETRICAL planting beds and trees. GRO VERT LIVING WALL
GRO VERT Living Wall Planter The horticulture industry is forever changed with the introduction of the BrightGreen Living Wall Planter.By graphically arranging a collection of plants in our GroVert vertical planter and mounting them on a vertical surface, designers, architects and the weekend gardener are presented with a whole new world in which to express their creativity.
Rethinking sculptural accents is an excellent way to create a memorable garden experience. Good garden art is a worthwhile investment. Let me just say that the resin tabby cat or gnome found at the local thrift store will not create the memory that you want your guests to take away from your garden. Art can generate emotions and create continuity in your garden. The piece shown in this photo generates feelings of solitude, strength and even self-esteem. The sculpture is a close match in color and texture to the stone wall, creating a homogenous vibe.

Oh — Did I say that you needed to put glass in front of a white wall for it to look good? Well, not exactly. These yellow wall pieces by Robert Kaindl look spectacular against this black wall. Here's why: They have a high percentage of opaque glass in them. The black wall shows through the translucent areas adding contrast with the opaque yellow which shows up well against the dark wall.
The glass can also be used for privacy, as a room screen or divider. "I love to light the images from behind so that at night they become part of the indoor lighting," she says.
Creating the pieces "is an intuitive process — it is very specific to the project and emotional," Nagel says. "Sometimes clients will have an idea and tell me the feeling they want to have when entering a space, and then I create that." Some of the unique qualities of Nagel's work are reflection and dimension. "We play a lot with lit images — so you can actually get more depth out of a room," she says.
The idea to use these on interiors came from a lack of good options available. "It was mostly the yearning for large art that incorporates the wall that inspired me; other than wallpaper, it is hard to find," Nagel says.

The stairway is a gallery for the flea market paintings she has collected over the years. “Art is expensive. I found that I could get art inexpensively at the flea market,” she says. “These pieces fill the walls with so much personality and color. I focus on portraits and florals.”
