Beautifully decorated house territory of a country house is the pride of any owner. But not everyone can boast that he is happy with everything in the exterior of the site. After all, there will always be unsightly buildings and elements that would be useful to remove, hide or disguise. But to turn disadvantages into advantages by transforming unattractive buildings into samples of exquisite landscape design is a task that anyone can solve. The main thing is to show imagination and apply skills to realize ideas.
Decorate an unsightly fence
By erecting a fence around the perimeter of the site, everyone tries to protect himself from the prying eyes of passers-by, and the house territory from the encroachments of uninvited "guests". But a dull solid fence with its appearance can spoil even the most comfortable and picturesque garden.
You can decorate an unsightly fence by planting climbing plants around the perimeter. Vines that curl the walls of the fence will help give the garden an extra vertical volume.
Using climbing plants to decorate the fence, you can not only successfully decorate its walls, but also complement the plant’s garden collection with outstanding examples. In addition, climbing plants will protect the building from destruction by covering it from oblique rains and reducing the heating of the walls.
Many vines are mounted on the walls with the help of suction cups, firmly fixed in the microcracks of the surface, thereby contributing to its destruction. To avoid this, it is enough to fix the hooks on a vertical surface and pull the ropes between them, along which the plants will wander.
Beautifully flowering vines can also grow in areas with little shading, but they are most decorative only with plenty of sunlight.
For the design of the southern walls of the fencing, beautifully flowering annual and perennial lianas are ideal: morning glory, campsis, wisteria
To decorate the fences, located in a small shade, it is better to use undemanding climbing and climbing plants: girl's grapes, lemongrass, ivy, hops, wood pliers. You can successfully decorate a low fence with the help of ampelous potted plants: pelargonium, nasturtium, asparagus, begonia. By placing the containers on the upper side of the building, you can create a beautiful "living" curtain from the falling greenery.

You can turn a fence into an original art object using any improvised materials: pieces of stained glass film, fragments of a mirror, broken tile.
An artificial window decorated with curtains and decorated with container flowers displayed along the window sill nailed to it will look very impressive on the fence
An excellent addition to such a composition "trick" will be the old door leaf, performing the function of "emergency exit". A solid wall can act as a backdrop for an expressive decorative object: a wooden flower cart, a fancy garden chair, and an old fishing net.
A solid wooden fence can serve as a support for numerous shelves on which it is convenient to exhibit the same container flowers or to equip a collection of old tools that hopelessly litter the barn. But the fence decorated with unpretentious drawings and ornaments will give the site a special charm.
Transform a boring fence into a bright decoration of the site will help painting with bright colors, made by the hands of both adults and children
We decorate the walls of country houses
Hanging flowerpots - an ideal option for decorating the unattractive walls of farm buildings on the site. They are indispensable in cases where for some reason there is no way to plant weaving plants along the foundation.
And to hide ugly walls or an old fence will help phyto pictures. Read about it: //diz-cafe.com/ideas/zhivye-kartiny.html
Improvised hanging mini-beds are attractive primarily because of their original compact form, bright green color and long flowering period of fragrant buds.
Elegant hanging cache-pots, speaking as a bright finishing touch, will distract attention from an unsightly object and visually transform the garden. Among ampelous plants, balsamine, begonia, and petunia are particularly decorative.
Aromatic and medicinal herbs are perfect for filling minitraders. Having planted spicy plants in a cache-pot, you get the opportunity not only to enjoy the aroma and flowering of crops, but also to have fresh herbs on hand to create culinary masterpieces.
And you can also make a flowerbed first-aid kit, read about it: //diz-cafe.com/ideas/klumba-aptechka-na-dachnom-uchastke.html
Mobile hanging containers decorated with bushes of herbs and herbs can transform unsightly walls and rickety old fences
You can mask an unsightly building with the help of a lattice of slats or openwork trellis. The main advantage of this design is mobility. If desired, it can always be rearranged or removed, adding variety and exterior.
Plants with thin graceful stems are best suited for decoration of trellis: clematis, climbing honeysuckle, decorative beans and sweet peas
Often, buildings on habitable sites, starting from the summer kitchen, a barn, a workshop and ending with a toilet, have architectural diversity. The easiest way to create a single ensemble, thanks to which you can successfully provide camouflage for each of the buildings - design in a common color scheme.
To create a complete picture, it is also advisable to give all objects the same architectural features: make elegant windows, decorate the facade, think through the carving elements, the shape and color of the roof. Improvised canopies, all kinds of pergolas and trellis walls decorated with openwork foliage also help to reduce the buildings into a single ensemble.
It is possible to build and decorate a pergola with your own hands, more about this: //diz-cafe.com/postroiki/derevyannaya-pergola-svoimi-rukami.html
"Revive" the architectural composition will help installations from improvised means, for example: old bicycles, arranged under vertical flower beds
"Beat" the bumps in the terrain
The appearance of the site is often spoiled by all sorts of bumps in the relief: hollows and hills. Since surface leveling is a very expensive and time-consuming process, decorative techniques help visually “smooth out” irregularities.
It is easy to “beat” a pit or a hollow in a site by arranging a small decorative pond.
The placement of improvised bridges and floorings, which are based on supporting columns, helps to visually smooth out uneven terrain.
Even a tall, multi-level flowerbed, the area of which slightly exceeds the size of the depression, will help to “cover” the unevenness.
We make low outbuildings
When designing buildings for economic purposes, which are present on each site, you should be guided by the principle: "if the deficiency cannot be hidden - do not hide it."
Even unattractive compost heaps and boxes can be turned into a spectacular art object. To give the compost heap a more attractive look, just plant pumpkins, zucchini or cucumbers next to it. An unsightly pit, but so necessary in the household for composting plant debris, will be successfully hidden under large spreading leaves.
Also, material on creating a high bed in the African manner will be useful: //diz-cafe.com/dekor/zamochnaya-skvazhina.html
Having planted cucumbers in a compost box, two tasks can be successfully realized at once: to cover an unattractive place in the garden and to ensure a rich harvest of fresh vegetables
It is possible to turn concrete wells and wells into attractive decorative elements by decorating the walls of structures. Mosaic, laid out of colored glass and bright broken tiles, colorfully shimmering in the sun, will create an atmosphere of celebration and beauty on the site.
Decorate technical wells and fertilizer barrels will help all the same flowers. An excellent solution for the construction of a mobile flower bed is the old stepladder. Containers with flowers, set in several tiers on the steps of the stairs, will close the object and create a picturesque cascade. In the case when it is necessary to open access to the well or hatch, the stepladder is easy to rearrange without any special hassle.
Tall green "beauties of mallow, tree-like peonies, hibiscus, sunflowers and Jerusalem artichokes can act as a decorative curtain for an old barrel with rainwater
A desktop is a must-have item on a site. In addition to its direct purpose, it serves as an open “pantry” for storing the remains of building materials, cans, improvised tools, pegs ...

You can give the old desktop a completely new look by just painting it in a bright and colorful shade
Ennoble old trees and hemp
Old stumps from trees, which are very difficult to uproot due to the branching of deep roots, are likely to be on any site.
“Beat” the abandoned cuts, turning them into interesting garden accents, you can make them garden stools or stands for street flowerpots
Old nondescript trees that are no longer pleasing with lush flowering or have completely dried out, can serve as a beautiful support for climbing vegetables: cucumbers, decorative pumpkins, climbing beans. Wood vines are capable of completely closing dried tree branches: grapes, actinidia, clematis.
Hanging pots of flowers, which can be purchased in a gardening shop or made independently, will help to give brightness and originality to a tree.
To make a planter in each pot at a distance of 2-3 cm from the top rim, drill 3 holes, placing them around the circumference at a distance of 120 degrees from each other. Through the holes we extend 3 identical cuts of aluminum wire or thick fishing line and fix them with knots so that they hold the container. We collect the free ends of the wire together and fix it on a tree branch. We cover the bottom of the containers with expanded clay. Fill the containers with the soil mixture, plant flowers: nasturtium, lobelia, pelargonium.
Outbuildings, converted with the help of imagination and skill into original art objects, will become a worthy decoration of the site and the pride of the owners.
