Beautify the garden without planting anything? It's possible in one of 15 ways

You have just moved into a new home with a wonderful garden but you don't have a green thumb. So what can you do? You can choose to neglect the garden and let it turn wild, or you can find ways to decorate it. That's right: there are numerous options beyond using flowers and plants to beautify a garden. Statues, stones, fountains and lights can be used to make your outdoor spaces more beautiful and welcoming.

If you are running out of ideas for your garden projects, check out the 15 ideas we have listed below:

1. Sculptures

The first proposal that comes to mind for decorating a garden without using plants is to use sculptures. There are a vast array of sculptures you can choose from. From cute, metal animals bivouacking in the middle of the meadow to the more classic marble or stone nymphs, we are sure you will find what is right for you in shops or online.

2. Solar lamps

How about instead of illuminating the outside with solar lamps? In the shape of a flower, a butterfly or small, classic lanterns, they will help guide you in the dark.

3. Pergola

What's better than relaxing in the shade of a pergola (gazebo) during hot summer afternoons? You can build one yourself or buy it as a kit. Either way, it will certainly impress your guests.

4. Birdhouse

Fill your garden with the chirping of birds by giving them a birdhouse. From the classic models to the most modern, you can also make one using DIY techniques and creatively recycling old objects that you no longer use.

5. Windchime

Windchimes are ideal for decorating your garden easily. If you want to, you can make one with your sea-side holiday souvenirs (shells and bits of driftwood, for example).

6. Sundial

If you have a classic tastes and love vintage objects, get yourself a sundial. Beautiful and useful at the same time.

7. Fountain

A fountain will be perfect for providing some refreshment during the hot days of summer.

8. Relaxation area

Make the most of your garden by creating a relaxation area for yourself and your friends and relatives. Tables and chairs or more comfortable sofas and armchairs will make your garden the ideal place to rest and welcome guests.

9. Umbrella

Shade your relaxation area using a garden umbrella. It will give you a pleasant coolness even on the hottest days.

10. Hammock

How nice it is to doze in privacy! With a hammock, the gentle rocking will cradle you as you dream.

11. Butterfly house

Bring color and cheer to your garden with a butterfly house. It will be wonderful to see these beautiful creatures flapping their colorful wings all around you.

12. Bird bath

If, on the other hand, you prefer the company of sparrows, great tits and larks, put up a bird bath.

13. Fire pit

Host cozy parties and cookouts around your fire pit.

14. Stone pathways

Decorate your garden by designing intricate stone paths. Roads aren't always just a way to get from point A to point B.

15. Lighting

Lighting is an important part of enhancing your garden. Give a romantic atmosphere to your nights outside with soft lighting that will help you relax.
