Edgy. Clean. Bold. Vast. Empty. These are all features of a modern design. A modern and somewhat trendy garden design is gaining admirers worldwide and just may overtake the traditional garden look. Given the fact that a clean and contemporary approach is more focused on the architecture rather than the actual plant life, many people have difficulty combining the two opposites into a cohesive whole.
So how do you devise a pleasing mixture of artificial surrounded by a touch of nature? Here you’ll find some ideas for creating a powerful and captivating mix of manmade surroundings highlighted by an indoor garden.
Potted Plants
Container and potted plants represent an essential part of any garden design, and contemporary garden design is no different. Pay attention to your choice of planters. Opt for hanging pots, cylinders and round containers with geometrical patterns. For plants, adaptable ferns are always a good choice, as are dracaena and potted palms, including sago palm. For a more exotic vibe, consider various sized cacti.
Succulents
One of the best choices for indoor plants are succulents, as there is a smorgasbord of different kinds from which to choose in order to create astonishing arrangements in your home. Succulents are also quite easy to maintain indoors. There are various planter choices when it comes to succulents, as they are quite adaptable and can be planted in almost anything. Depending on your personal preference, you could create a green succulent wall, a potted arrangement or even a miniature succulent garden.
Bonsai
The Japanese garden design has enticed the world with its astonishing and bold arrangements. This art form of training miniature trees in small pots and containers is definitely one of the true features of a modern indoor garden. Bonsai can be created from nearly any perennial woody-stemmed tree or shrub species. Japanese white pine or junipers are popular choices, but there are no limits when it comes to this art design.
Indoor Greenhouse
For those who have a majority of unused space, some money saved up and a desire to create something unusual and extraordinary in their home, an indoor greenhouse is the best possible choice. This design will never fail to impress and represents a true masterpiece of garden design.
Green. Lively. Vivid. Expressive. Distinctive. Who says that natural and artificial can’t be combined into something beautiful? The sky (or the ceiling) is the limit they say, so be courageous and surpass the borders of innovation with your contemporary indoor garden design.
