Everyone knows that plants are best watered with rainwater. Only now, not always a container for collecting valuable moisture adds beauty to the site. But this “trouble” is easy to help! Even from the most modest barrel you can make a beauty! Surely there is not a single cottage on Russian open spaces where they do not collect rain water. They put under the drain that there is anyone – barrels, buckets, canists, old baths, basins. Often improvised tanks do not look in the best way: some are noticeable scratches or dents, others have an enamel, others are touched by rust. Yes, it is not very pleasant to the eye, but their two evils are usually chosen less: either use what is, or to be left without water at all. However, the situation is not as hopeless as it might seem! Unsusive containers can either be turned into pretty or hidden. See how this can be done on the example of barrels. A little effort, and the usual plastic container will turn into an original garden decor interesting? Wait, or it will still – we have several completely amazing various ideas, let’s look like everything soon! We can not do without colors to help the current summer resident to help: they came in handy for us to create original markers, helped to magically transform ordinary flower pots, and now they will help out. It will not be painted to paint a barrel of labor, but you can draw either by hand, or print a suitable stencil and use it. Such drawings will perfectly fit into the country interior to depict flowers – a great idea! They will delight the gaze in early spring, when the primroses did not appear from under the snow, and in late autumn, when the garden is already gray and dull. Feel free to take the brushes and give free rein to your imagination. You do not risk anything: do not like it – paint over and draw again! I think you will succeed no worse! The main thing in the decor is to focus on personal perception. For example, I am delighted with pale greenboards with chic butterflies. And the girls liked the beauty with a flowering meadow and light clouds in the blue sky more. Therefore, follow exclusively to your preferences: you like the final result – wonderful! The neighbors are not delighted – these are their problems, you are not obliged to adapt to the tastes of others. If you want the barrel not to rush into the gas, use a tricky trick – for the decor, pick up the colors to the tone of the surrounding interior. Masking coloring, or can be done exactly the opposite: turn the tank for rain water into a catchy art object. There are enough worthy examples on the network, there is something to take as a basis for your own creation. Pay attention to the photo certificate: the owner clearly liked to decorate the barrel so much that he continued the painting on the stand – expanded clay blocks. The latter were clearly not opposed, and it turned out very original! Oh, how bright! For those who are not confident with their artistic skill, there are alternative options: for example, to disguise a barrel under God’s cow or paste it with lids, which then be painted in the desired colors. And it is easy to do, and looks pretty pretty. Simply, but cute what if you hide it? If the idea with the colors has not found a response in your soul, do not rush to leave, we will hide the barrels! For example, behind decorative lattices. Simple or exquisite – as you like. The openwork partition will hide the barrel from the eyes where the high curtains are inappropriate, you can build a low screen or even a closet for the container. The products look airy and exquisite, and it will take little time and material to create them. The lattice beauty is great, if it is possible to put beautiful openwork canvases on the arrangement of the screen – admiring the exquisite patterns, no one will see the barrel behind it. However, the simplest braid looks no worse, moreover, it will cost nothing! Another budget option is to hide a barrel behind a screen of climbing plants. There are a lot of options to hide a barrel! Looking at the gorgeous black grate and mentally wondering how much something similar will cost (in the form of materials, of course), I suddenly remembered the excellent about the article, which we recently discussed with enthusiasm – what can be made from PVC pipes with our own hands: 20 ideas for giving. Take a note: there are ideas of wonderful garden screens in it – openwork, pretty and inexpensive! Since we are talking about improvised materials, I will show a few more inspiring examples. True, some of them are designed to conceal garbage containers, but who will prevent us from using them at their discretion? Options from improvised materials by the way, pallets, lanterns and hanging pots with flowers are very, very popular – there are many different options. What can not be said about the Gabions: it was difficult to find a single idea. Stones or flowers – choose you, and if you like simple strict forms – pay attention to these modest products. If desired, you can even fit the lid to the box so that dust and garbage do not fall into the water. I don’t like the box without any delights? Not a problem, there is a more elegant and simple solution: facing the barrel with wooden rails! Here are a few inspiring ideas to choose from. To do it simply, but it looks quite decent prefer a cover with a lid – this is a nice example of execution. Want to protect wood with paint – look at these charming ideas. I liked the cladding with rails, especially reminiscent of a fence – so cute! In such a “clothing”, the barrel will definitely please the gaze! Some products will require more skill and time, but they are much stronger and look more solid, so you should try. Very beautiful, I like it! And on the snack is an idea for a true summer resident. Original, spectacular, easy to fulfill, budget – dream! I won’t even say anything – everything is clear here without words. Ideal for a summer residence! Bravo to the author, he can’t occupy fantasies! By the way, many of us are already familiar with the principle of device: remember the publication of a pocket flower garden? If we adopt the idea of which it is described in it, we may well outdo the inventive summer resident: create a composition in a single style – put on a barrel and break a flower bed on the wall – what is not a cool solution?! On this positive note, I will complete our brief review and, of course, I will ask: I liked any idea? Or does your barrel already look one hundred percent?
