Garden design inspiration in Bad Pyrmont

Summer is my best travel season, particularly around Germany. While on the road, besides my usual travel assignments, I always keep my eye and the camera open for some inspiration, especially in the field of interior design. As on a trip in the picturesque Bad Pyrmont, I noticed some interesting decorations ideas that I am sharing right now...

Big balconies need life. Even if you are situated at an upper level and from there, you can have a view over a beautiful landscape - the case in Bad Pyrmont - you still need to create your special environment in your near vicinity, the place where you take your coffee every morning. The combination between suspended pots of generous vegetations and the bottom decorations brings life and colour to a very sober and cold. It also bring a warm touch to the entire house ensemble.

The choices of the garden decorations are mostvy determined by the local offer and the specific climate. Only green little - bonsai - trees, not much higher than the upper part of the ground level windows bring more dynamism - also given the different sizes and shapes of the trees - to the building and embelishes the view.

 Huge trees, almost the size of the building, need time to grow up, but given the many years, decades maybe of ages of the trees, gives an air of sobriety and seriosity.

The wrought fence is not always an elegant view, but when you use the metal holes to let the vegetation go by and fill the space, everything looks much better and more inviting. During the summer, it also creates a green curtain that gives more privacy to the yard.

When you do not have the privivedge of living in a big house with garden, your balcony is your breath of green life. You can spend time there to relax after a long day in the office, have breakfast, meet your friends or read a book. Why not make it a cozy spot and add, besides flowers, some beautiful art too?

At Home and Garden Exhibition in Berlin

 The Home and Garden Exhibition is celebrating 20 years in 2016. With a special focus on outdoor decorations and inspiration, it is an itinerant event organised between May and September in several big cities across Germany, such as Cologne, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Stuttgart or Essen. In Berlin, it was organised at the Ritterstadium Olympia. 

Reuniting exhibitors from all over Germany, it offers a variety of products and ideas especially to private owners. Swimming pools were one of the main products featured, even though the usually rainy weather in Germany does not allow it a long time use. The prices for such special whirlpools may vary between 2,000 and 8,000 EUR.

Some outdoor products are also adapted for indoors. Those tables, for instance, have a detacheable platform that can be used as a tray in the house too. 

Ideas for the garden abund. With a minimal investment, you can make your dream corner in the middle of the nature. Personally, I am for keeping the garden as wild as possible, but some may want just to bring some city feeling there too.

As lon as I can have a lazy corner where I can read and write, I am happy. Hopefully, it is not that difficult to find the right pieces of furniture.

Decorations for the garden are a different category of products, with many statues and colourful items to hang out. These metal cones with filigran cuttings can bring a lot of entertainment in the night, when you burn something as trivial as toilet paper in the middle.

From your comfy, beach-like chair, you can just watch the show - or the latest soccer challenges. The choice is yours!

 Or to get ready for a barbecue, by using these massive, but easy to use machines.

For a big family gathering, you need not only your Zen moment, but also a serious furniture. This corner costs at this fair 7,995 EUR.

Some antiques stores are also present, suggesting some classical, high-end and top notch price corners. First and foremost, you need the big space and the money. The rest just can be arranged.

Overall, the exhibition was a good experience, with a lot of interactions and interesting ideas and products. It also had some food and clothes section, not necessarily outstanding but offering some affordable shopping options if you do not want to leave this place without some purchase.

Strongly recommended to anyone looking for good deals of products for garden and outdoors decorations.
