Plants
A green lawn will be a very nice solution as a base for many gardens, from modern to rustic. A manicured lawn is ideal for you, your family and pets to lie on – it’s always welcoming. If you are going for a shabby chic space, you can stick to some usual greenery, grasses and shrubs. The latter are actual for many gardens depending on their looks and size. Modern gardens don’t need blooms, keep them minimal and simple, while cottage and vintage ones will be awesome with florals. If you want a Japanese inspired garden, stick to simple greenery, shrubs and rocks instead of usual pavements.

Decorations
If you are rocking a modern or minimalist garden, you won’t need any special décor, stick to some simple garden furniture if you need some and that’s it. Japanese gardens don’t suppose any special décor or furniture except for some waterfalls or ponds and maybe traditional lanterns.
