DIY countertops made from scrap materials
Country holidays involve family feasts in the open air, and special attention should be paid to organizing the dining area. It is best to equip a large “refectory” under a canopy or in a shaded part of the yard. The main decoration of the place for joint lunches and dinners will be the country tabletop decor, made by yourself.
You can decorate the surface of the dining table in different ways:
- take a cut of a large tree of an original shape;
- cover the filler edge with colored fabric and cover it with polymer or varnish;
- fill the base with herbarium elements and cover it with glass, sealing the edges;
- lay out a mosaic pattern as in the photo.
Any method is good if you have available materials and tools. To make a mosaic tabletop, you will need a large sheet of plywood and boards for the frame. You can make a folding or stationary table, but it’s easier to transform ready-made old furniture. When choosing a mosaic pattern, it is better to rely on your taste and preference. It can be a geometric pattern or a decorative panel on a nature theme - an aquarium, fruits, sunflowers, firebirds, etc.
Any material of the same thickness is suitable for the pattern - small mosaics, broken glass and pieces of mirror tiles, remnants of tiles and ceramic tiles. If there is an abundance of such material, after the tabletop, using the mosaic technique, you can make flower pots or supports for a garden bench.
The plywood sheet is coated with a primer, and after drying, the center and areas for applying the pattern are marked. If you have no artistic experience, it is better to use your favorite DIY garden decor ideas or work with simple geometric compositions. Abstraction will help you avoid the need to lay out a recognizable plot.
Unusual design of the cottage
First, the central fragments are done, then the blank background is laid out. It is advisable to work slowly and carefully, since decorating a garden or dacha with your own hands is a matter of family pride; these things will last for many years.
When the mosaic is completed, it is allowed to dry, after which all that remains is to fill it with grout for tile materials and clean all fragments of the composition with a damp cloth. It is recommended to paint all parts of the table or dining area in the color that predominates in the pattern of the tabletop.
White garden furniture is always beyond competition, regardless of the decor of the summer cottage. Complete your outdoor dining area with a hand-built wrought iron grill or barbecue.

Do-it-yourself fences, hedges and railings
The first thing neighbors in the country see is how the fences are designed. Gray rickety boards are a thing of the past; they are replaced by original partitions between areas and zoning elements.
Regular chain-link fences between concrete pillars and “Euro fences” are very popular. But this is a big expense, and decor for a dacha with your own hands can be easily done in the form of original fences.
If there are children in the family, they will certainly appreciate a picket fence in the form of colored pencils at the dacha. Teens can paint decorative hedges as a great way to spend time together doing something together.
Another way is to use plastic bottles: fences from unnecessary containers strung on metal rods, thick wire or clothesline. The fence can be one color, for example, from dark plastic beer bottles or kvass. By alternating materials of different colors, you can get an original design in the form of a decorative panel or just a striped fence that complements the decor of your garden plot.
To make the fence look aesthetically pleasing, it is important to make a thorough frame - stretch the trellis between the columns. Using a ready-made base, it is easy to make vertical garlands from plastic bottles of the same format. They can even be treated with aerosol paints to give your dacha decor more originality.

Original flower beds and sandboxes made from stumps
Uprooting old stumps is a very labor-intensive task; it is much easier to turn them into wooden decor for a summer house. The overgrown tree has taken its place in the landscape, and its roots still penetrate deep into the soil. A good idea is to hollow out its rotten core to fill it with soil or sand.
Flowerbeds in old stumps are an original and simple decoration for the site. You can sow fragrant low-growing perennials or a climbing plant by placing a support for it next to a stump. If the driftwood has a good appearance, it is not necessary to paint it or process it in any way, let it be a natural background for the plants.
A wide stump with a large internal volume will replace the sand container. If there is only one child in the family, then such a sandbox will be quite enough for the baby to play. My only wish is to cover the bottom with a tarpaulin so that bark beetles, worms and other invertebrates do not get into the clean sifted sand from the side of the decayed roots.

Another original solution for an old hemp is DIY garden decor as an element of landscape design. Build a house for a gnome with lighting in the evenings, and this element will become a logical conclusion to the garden alley deep into the garden. A house for a gnome will not require a lot of time and available materials, and the fairy-tale character itself can be bought ready-made or made independently. The plot can be supplemented by fireflies, frogs, snails, turtles and other characters.
Old stumps can be used for DIY garden decoration in another way - as stands for flower pots. This is convenient for hanging petunias, decorative strawberries and other hanging plants. Between two stumps of the same height, it is convenient to equip a bench or base for a Hawaiian hammock, if the supports are high enough.
Flowerbeds from old furniture
Used bookcases, beds, armchairs, chairs and stools are original decor for a do-it-yourself dacha. They are used not only as a stand, but also as the basis for a small flower garden raised above ground level.
It’s a pity to throw away old Viennese rattan chairs with an ornate frame; they will still serve as an original flower bed on a green lawn.
The stepladder will serve as a shelf if you fasten old boards instead of rungs. They are convenient for placing flower pots with indoor plants and country decor.

Many owners take indoor plants with them to their dacha; they also need to find a decent place. Unpretentious cacti and succulents feel best. Entire collection compositions will be placed on old furniture. If you want to make the composition more attractive, repaint all the items the same color.
Old baskets and leaky tubs fit no less organically into the landscape design. To decorate a site with your own hands, anything without a bottom, but with good walls or sides, is suitable.

Original country decor from old vehicles and tires
Trolleys, wheelbarrows, bicycles, parts of retro cars and “bald” tires are constant garden decor used by designers and home craftsmen.
A cart without a team, as if lost by its horse, will best transform an unoccupied area of the estate. Do-it-yourself decor for a country house like this does not require much effort and time. It is enough to find the best place for the chaise, on which flowering plants will flaunt all summer. This could be a collection flower garden, where representatives of the same species show off in different shades, or a selection was made based on the principle of contrast.
It is advisable to treat old bicycles as decoration to remove rust with sandpaper, coat them with a metal primer and paint them. When the base is ready, the frame is securely fastened so that the bicycle does not collapse under the weight of the soil in the pots attached to it.
Advice. Old jeans and boots are suitable as containers for planting flower seedlings, but it is better to first pour the soil into garbage bags placed in your pants.

“Bald” tires are traditionally used as borders for small flower beds. Entire compositions painted with paint look more attractive. A favorite design technique is cascading flower beds, where the widest rubber is located at the bottom, and the shallowest base is at the top.
DIY tire decor for your home and garden is another way to decorate “bald” tires. There are many ways to cut out animals and fairy-tale characters from an inverted tire.

Original site lighting
Lamps from scrap materials are another way to make useful things out of unnecessary things. Small columns along the garden alley can be decorated with lamps made from tin cans with a printed pattern, into which candles or small lamps are inserted. This DIY dacha decor will liven up a party or a romantic dinner outdoors.
Pendant lamps with electric bulbs are made from glass bottles. A special technology that uses the contrast of hot and cold water into which the bottom of the bottle is immersed will help you cut off the bottom. With such an amplitude of temperatures, the bottom will be cut off like a ruler. All that remains is to sand the edge and make a garland by inserting small light bulbs into such original lampshades. It is important that the base of the electrical wiring is made by a person who understands this. All parts of garden lighting should be hidden from rain.

Decorating a summer cottage with your own hands, landscape ideas, photos - today's topic of discussion on our site.
Registration of a summer cottage - what needs to be taken into account?
Landscape design cannot be approached chaotically, embodying unrelated ideas on different parts of land holdings. To create a feeling of complete harmony, one general idea is needed, to which smaller ones will be subordinated.
The design of a summer cottage begins with a landscape idea Experts give a lot of advice on how to design a summer cottage with your own hands. We would like to draw your attention to the main ones.
First of all, you should decide on the design style. The choice of idea should correspond to the desired setting and should suit the architecture and perennial garden plants.
When selecting flora for landscape design, it is important to keep in mind the quality of the soil, the illumination of the area, as well as the amount of time and effort planned for caring for the dacha.
You should not go to extremes, making the design of a summer cottage with your own hands too simple or, on the contrary, too pretentious. The main thing is to create a harmonious environment conducive to good rest, and too creative ideas often introduce disharmony and quickly become boring.
The main task of decorating a dacha with your own hands is to achieve harmony and comfort Classic/regular style in the design of a summer cottage with photo
The main features of the classical style, which was at the peak of popularity during the Renaissance, are symmetry and orderliness. Experts recommend using this design in city parks, near official institutions.
The photo shows a park decorated in a classic style. It can be implemented on a fairly open summer cottage area of at least 15 acres. A smaller space will not allow you to fully display the main idea of the style.
The architecture must be clearly visible Classic design implies absolute symmetry to a certain axis, strictly geometric lines and figures in architecture and plantings, smooth and clear paths. Gazebos are located at the intersections of paths. An important detail is the clearly visible architecture.
Classics are characterized by absolute symmetry and clarity of form. When decorating a summer cottage in a regular style, it is important to remember that long breaks in care cannot be allowed. It is necessary to strictly maintain the condition of lawns and ideal forms of plantings with your own hands or with the help of trained workers. This idea is best implemented in areas with the constant presence of a gardener.
Strict forms of plantings must be constantly maintained with your own hands or with the help of a gardener Elements: fountains and sculptures in the Greek style; classic columns; forged benches; stone or plaster balls; stone or metal flowerpots; container plantings; arches and pergolas; hedges.
Forest style for a cozy homestead with photos of ideas
Country, or forest, style is an excellent solution for a summer cottage near a forest. In this case, the main task is not to disturb the overall harmony by using ideas that do not reveal human intervention. Every detail should highlight the beauty of natural forest landscapes and create a feeling of pristine nature.
For a shady area near a forest, a forest-style design is suitable Even a small plot is suitable for the forest style, but it is best embodied in a dacha of more than 6 acres. The house should be located deep in the plot. Shade and humidity are welcome. See photos for examples of successful design.
The photo shows a design idea in a forest style What does landscape design in a forest style include? Forest trees and wild flowers. Streams or ponds of natural contours, paths of arbitrary shapes, covered with wood, stones, and thick grass. Bright flowers near the house and along the main path.
Forest trees and wild flowers are the main design elements Simple benches of straight shape and circular ones near the trees. Wooden furniture, fences, swings, figurines. Antique items of Russian life. Lighting is hidden.
English style for a summer cottage
English style is full of elegance and naturalness. Ideal for it is a shaded, low-lying dacha plot with irregularly shaped borders, more than 12 acres in size. The design in this case should not radically change the natural landscapes. But the intervention of the human hand must be obvious.
Decorating a summer cottage with your own hands in English style The English style consists of lawns with lawns surrounded by trees and shrubs with pyramidal or hanging crowns; abundance of perennial crops; vines on brick walls; landscape ponds.
The house surrounded by flowers is located in the depths of the plot The house is located in the depths of a summer cottage surrounded by flowers. The paths are winding and covered with grass, gravel, wood or bark. Gazebos at road intersections.
Separate elements can be elegant benches, large stones, flowerpots on legs, elevated flower beds. Classical sculptures, but no more than two, emphasize the sophistication of the English style.
Exquisite benches and sculptures in the English style Japanese style in dacha design
The Japanese have a unique, philosophical view of nature. Simple compositions, the main elements of which are stones, plants and water, have a special, hidden meaning.
Stones play a big role in the design of a Japanese-style summer cottage It is noteworthy that the Japanese style is applicable to allotments of absolutely any size. Even on a dacha plot with an area of 1 hectare, you can fully realize the idea (see photo).
To implement an idea with your own hands, only 1 hundred square meters is enough Japanese style is absolute asymmetry, variation in shapes, colors and textures. The chosen direction is emphasized by stone paths, streams, ponds, bridges and fountains.

For owners of small sunny summer cottages, it is worth thinking about decorating in the French style. Even 1 hundred square meters is enough to create it. Over a large area, this idea will look even less attractive.

A mandatory element is a lawn of the correct shape, through which the path to the house passes, and ornamental plants along the perimeter. The trees are predominantly fruit trees. Paths made of old bricks or stones with a small edge on the sides.
Near the house there is a paved area made of sandstone or old bricks. High beds with vegetables and spices, framed by wicker fences.
Old bricks and stones are essential elements of French style The design of the fence should include old bricks. Supports entwined with vines will emphasize the sophistication of the French style.
The embodiment of high-tech style in a summer cottage
High-tech - a modern approach to the design of a dacha. Style involves the use of the latest materials, unusual plants and the most daring ideas. The advantages of this type of landscape design are: ease of maintenance and the ability to be used on an area of any size.
In the photo there is a dacha in high-tech style Even a narrow area can be dressed in high-tech style. The main thing is that it has sunny areas, and the shape resembles a geometric figure.
High-tech is a great idea for a narrow summer cottage Style requirements: contrast, creativity of ideas, use of glass, metal, modern composites and carefully crafted wood. Spectacular lighting - visible and hidden, in any color and anywhere. Unusually designed bodies of water.
Spectacular lighting in high-tech style In general, the site resembles a studio apartment, where there is no clear division into zones. Paths - straight, zigzag or regular rounded. Light colors predominate in the design of the landscape. Accent elements are usually red, black, yellow or orange. Examples are in the photo.
Fantasy - a do-it-yourself cottage for dreamers
On a large summer cottage you can implement a less popular, and therefore especially attractive, fantasy style. It contains landscaping ideas related to the remains of past civilizations. This is an interweaving of chivalry and mystical mysteries of ancestors, a combination of romance and the enchanting beauty of nature.
To implement the idea with your own hands, a plot of more than 8 acres with partial shading is perfect. Possible location on a slope.
Attributes of the style are stone fences and compositions, dense plantings, overgrown ponds and streams, winding paths, forest trees, oddly shaped snags, vertical landscaping. In architecture - turrets and grilles. Don't forget about circular shapes, broken paths and hidden areas.
Minimalism - simple and expressive

The minimalist style is an abundance of paving (using large slabs), ponds with cascades, steps, paths of simple shapes, clear forms of all elements, differences in levels, a minimum of details, a restrained color palette. A large patio is a must. The photographs will help you determine the strict requirements of this destination.
