Although the garden is already a space for relaxation, nothing prevents you from making it a Zen space in its own right. It will be a garden that brings you well-being and serenity every time you set foot in your yard.
To navigate this haven of peace, bet on the colors that will set the tone for your decor, in addition to plants and garden furniture. Before you start, here are some ideas to match in a Zen-inspired garden.
Naturist in spirit, opt for the Zen garden in a natural version. Undoubtedly, your favorite color will be green. It is the vegetation that plays a big role in bringing style to your exteriors. Bet on Asian-inspired plants such as bamboo, which makes it quite easy to get bushy bushes.
In a space where vegetation must take precedence, choose grass on the ground, the best way to give a lush impression that will bring you the well-being you are looking for. What could be better than being greeted by green nature when leaving your house?
For furniture, choose those that are natural colors like wood. You have the choice between dark wood to add an exotic note or light wood to match the bamboo. If you want to add cushions, always opt for natural colors. Both beige and taupe lend themselves well to Zen decor. In terms of fabric, linen will do just fine.
In a feng shui version, it will be necessary to develop a very codified garden with a skilful mixture between the elements which will determine the colors to adopt in your Zen garden. As for the nature garden, green is also invited in this decor where the vegetation takes back its rights. Bamboos are still in the spotlight to create the Zen spirit. Water lilies will gently settle on a body of water.
The green will only serve as a background, but it is above all the black and white that will dominate the landscape. With Yin and Yang, you can represent the white on the gravels which will act as mineral elements. As for black, make it the color of choice for your furniture that you will take care to choose in a refined style. All that's missing is the fire element, to be represented in a few red accessories reminiscent of pagodas.
The third style is the revisited Zen garden, which was originally inspired by the Zen garden. He thus retains the main elements and mixes with other inspirations. For a very structured garden, you can add small pebbles and bonsai without depriving yourself of color. To stay in the Zen atmosphere, blue will give a soothing side and will find its place through furniture or accessories. The result will give rise to a very beautiful and personal Zen garden.
