The garden vases, when used properly, are a simple way to improve this part of the house and leave a lasting impression on those who visit.
To choose our entrance we must first of all pay attention to the kind of steps we have, the architectural style of our house and the space available. To take into account this information allows us to “furnish” an entrance in a consistent and harmonious way.
Green details are important: in addition to making ourselves proud, they are made to please even passers-by and our neighbours.
In a recent article I read on “Finish Gardening” entitled “Entryways, you only get one chance to make a first impression, so put your best containers forward“. In the article were listed valuable tips and which I fully support because they allow you to make a perfect choice in the decoration of the entrance.
Unlike what many think, even small spaces need pots and vessels; ideals are those tall vases in which to place just as tall and slender plants that help to soar the space and make it visually larger. We rely on symmetrical and colourful plants.
If you like a simple and refined style, choose several vessels but all very linear, play then with the shapes and combinations to give some dynamic; the ideal in these cases is to privilege succulents in warm colours. This type of combination will give a very elegant effect to your entryway.
Whatever your choice will be, always pay attention not to obstruct the passage with the vases; if you have little space prefers small or suspended vessels, but if you have lot of space you can opt for larger vessels, but try to repeat the same plants on both sides in order to create harmony and order.
Concerning the choice of the vegetation, evergreens are certainly the easiest to treat, they look always in order and they soil just a bit, but if you like to dare and do not mind engage yourself in the care of your plants, choose the ones with coloured flowers that give harmony and fun to your home. Opt for a single colour theme that creates a strong visual impact, and then choose chromatic plants replicating tones and shades as well as to create a captivating canvas.
