ModernGardening and landscapingbecame famous in the 1950s and 60s when everything was about pureGeometryand linear designs. Modern landscaping represents sleek aesthetics and an elegant look. The garden seems tidy and well organized. The focus is on large design elements and structures rather than on the plants themselves. The plants are usually green and usually chosen for their interesting shape and texture.
Popular materials used in modern landscaping include concrete, metal and wood. Many designers opt for unpolished concrete surfaces rather than having them painted a bright color. Metal elements, especially made of weathered Corten steel, set excellent accents in modern gardens. The material can be used for planters, as privacy screens or even for small retaining walls. Wood flooring is also popular in many modern projects. Typically, Ipe wood is used, a Brazilian hardwood with a vibrant color.
Gardening and landscaping – inspiration from luxury homes
One of the main goals of modern garden design is to create interesting contrasts. For example, brightly colored ornamental grasses will stand out against a gray concrete wall, orange cushions will immediately catch the eye when placed on otherwise simple garden furniture. It's important to keep everything in check because excessive use of contrast can make the room look chaotic. Choose two or three places in your garden and focus on a contrasting element only there.
Use plants with interesting texture
A trademark of modern landscaping is the network of paving stones or trirr stones and plants. Allow grass or ground cover to grow between the stones or leave cutouts in the concrete where you can plant thyme. However, grid patterns are not the only way to achieve a modern look. Choose plants that have interesting textures and can act as architectural elements in your garden.
