Lush blooms appear on this New York terrace; boxwood and dwarf evergreens mix with perennials. You’ll spot flowering annuals and tropical plants, too.
The plant border creates a division, one for a full-view garden and another one for simple al fresco dining.
14. Hot tub decks
An open hot tub spot in your garden can give you a place somewhere to escape, relax and unwind after a long day. This sunken stone lounge makes the perfect concept for your leisure dreams.
The greenery adds some privacy, while the lamps and other decor features make the space pop more.

Modern and classy are the two factors that describe this hotel-inspired roof garden. The tall plants and surrounding bushes provide a serene environment, blending well with the earthy-tone colour of the furniture.

Giving off a modern Greek style garden, the massive arch hedges alone are enough to create a focal point in this long plot. It’s one of our favourite garden hedge ideas, and the LED round fixtures on the lawn makes a difference.
17. Minimalist tropical garden
“Less is more“ – this quote embodies this minimalist yet elegant tropical garden. Amongst its many amazing layers, the swing and simple seating area are what make the space so inviting.
One of the highlights is the diversion of the plants, which makes sense why it’s a tropical-themed terrace.

Rock borders are gorgeous garden features that are so easy to create. Match stones or boulders or mix them up a bit with various sizes and colours.
The borders don’t have to be straight. A meandering path has a certain soothing quality and is total Pinterest material.
46. Decorative vertical gardening
Your gardening space is limited, but you want to make more space for more photogenic plants. A smart way to create a wall of green is through vertical gardening.
Go rustic DIY with wooden or metal planters. They’re not attractive when empty, but when filled up with lush greenery, they sure are Pinterest-worthy.

52. Tiled outdoor kitchen
Incorporate decorative tiles into your outdoor kitchen scheme to create a transition from the house to the garden. This can be especially effective if the same tiles are used in the interior and exterior.
Lay them on the floor and up walls to create an inviting feature.
53. Add a screening structure
Garden screening ideas are an excellent way to create little sanctuaries. Providing both privacy and escapism, a screening can section an area of your garden and create a certain relaxation zone.
Decorate the space with furniture, outdoor lighting, and a patio heating source.
54. Position a pergola
A pergola can easily create an enclosed space. If the right plants are incorporated, it can give off a smattering of fragrance.
Arch it over a path through the garden to create a shaded tunnel. Create a sense of romance with your chosen placement.
55. Paver patio
Pavers beautify outdoor spaces, and they’re durable and long-lasting. Concrete pavers and pea gravel make a lovely pairing. Working in tandem, they can create a beautiful, clean, and modern patio like this one.
