All owners of country houses and summer cottages want to improve and improve the site. For this, all kinds of plants are usually planted and various decorative elements are used. The latter can perform both an aesthetic function, for example, statues and arches, and a practical one - gazebos, pergolas, etc.
But it takes a lot of space to accommodate gazebos, pergolas and statues. Not on every site it is possible to allocate several zones exclusively for the scenery. In such cases, it is worth taking a closer look at compact decorative elements, for example, forged ones.
Owners of personal plots often install wrought-iron gates. It is both a decorative and a functional element. But, you can use other forged parts. They do not have to fulfill a practical function, since they take up a minimum of space.
It will be appropriate to install benches and chairs with a wrought-iron frame in the garden. They will stylishly complement the wicket, especially while observing the harmony in patterns and colors. The forging method can be used to make all kinds of metal figures, for example, animals or any abstract objects.
The service life of such things is practically unlimited. Unlike analogs made of clay, they will not be damaged if dropped. On a large plot, a bridge with a wrought iron railing, passing through a decorative stream, will look great. Such products simultaneously carry a functional load, if necessary, you can lean on them.
Stylistic solutions
Many people associate forging with the classic style. But, in reality, forged elements can be an element of any of them.
Romantics should pay attention to delicate filigree products painted in light colors. For a rustic garden, massive and simple wrought-iron forms are suitable. Laconic details with a minimum amount of curls will perfectly fit into the modern design.
By the way, wrought iron elements are great for a Mediterranean-style garden.
Choosing a location
It is possible to arrange a forged element in any place, and not only in a recreation area, as many owners of suburban areas do. It is not necessary to build massive gates and arches. It is possible to emphasize the sophistication and uniqueness of landscape design in more restrained ways. For example, a wrought-iron gate goes well with hanging lanterns in a gazebo.
A bridge with a wrought iron railing can lead to a bench with legs and a back, decorated with forging elements.
To emphasize attention, it is not necessary to put some elements on public display. Restraint should be observed, the decor should be beautiful, expressive, but at the same time laconic. Excessive decorative elements can be overwhelming. For a medium-sized garden, 2-3 objects decorated with wrought iron elements will be enough.
