"My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece." Famous painter Claude Monet said this about his garden in Giverny, northern France. This wonderful garden, which inspired many pictures that make us feel heart-warming when we look at it today, and which was reopened to visitors last May, is also proof of the loving relationship that a person can establish with his garden...

Do you want to have a garden that will reflect such a relationship, whose size makes you feel like a vast sea, where you have worked hard at every step, where you will want to wander around like a museum, and whose colors and texture tell you and your lifestyle?

So let's take a look at what you need to pay attention to when designing a large garden!

Take the first step to turn your dream into reality: Make a plan

A beautiful and large garden requires time, effort and care. If you want to design your new large garden from scratch or redesign your old garden that has accumulated memories for years, the first main item on your agenda should be to start with a solid plan. In this way, you will save a lot of time.

Before rolling up your sleeves, draw your garden on paper with a drawing, just like you would create an architectural project of a house. At this stage, you can get support from a landscape architect or consider online resources that will crown your interest with information.

Create an inventory

Make a list of what you have before deciding what you want. To create a space that will allow you to enjoy your garden for years, first review the veranda and similar recreation areas you have. Determine your existing trees, plants, which flowers are where, fruit and vegetable areas, and the area covered by your pool and its surroundings, if you have one. Determine where sunlight falls at what time, shadow areas, windy areas, drainage and water access points, and walking routes with pedestrian traffic. Show them all in detail on your plan.

Focus on what you want

Now that you have a list of what you have in your garden and an idea of what can be added to that list, it's time to bring the two together.

For example, do you have new recreation areas in mind to include in recreation areas? Make a note of it immediately. If you think that your resting areas are inadequate or not productive enough, especially in the summer heat, focus on how you can enlarge your shade areas by planting trees or other methods.

Determine the types of new plants that will join your garden, how and where they will grow, and the changes you want to make in the lawn and shrub areas.

Do research for your plants

You can complete your landscaping work by placing large trees first, then shrubs, then flowers, and finally planting grass.

When choosing the plants in your garden, we recommend that you pay attention to their harmony with the lines of your house and garden, as well as their appearance. Along with aesthetics, you can achieve a special perfection with symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements according to your preference, especially by paying attention to proportions. For example, you would not choose to put a very large tree in a small garden, but you can also choose plants of the right size to fill your large garden. You can create a harmonious space by placing symmetrical plants along the entrance and walking routes of your building or garden.

While you prefer relatively large plants in areas far from home, you can choose smaller plants for frequently used resting and walking areas close to home.

Caring for your plants is just as important as choosing them. For proper garden care, you should know your plants with all their features. It is very important that you know how much they will grow and how they will change shape over time, so that you can adapt the design of your garden to your needs and evolving conditions. You can also benefit from today's automatic irrigation systems, which promise ease of maintenance.

Increase comfort in living space with stylish ceramic tiles

Do not reduce your space by making more passages than necessary, but turn the areas you need into pleasant walking paths with stylish and useful tiles. If you have a pool, you can use floor and wall tiles that suit the style of your garden, considering the areas around it and where the dining table and seating groups will be located.

Making use of your outdoor space in the most efficient way; You can use ceramics in different colors, sizes and designs to make it the most enjoyable for yourself, your family and all your guests. You can make pairings with ceramics that will bring the perfect beauty of nature to your garden, complementing your green areas, harmonizing with concrete surfaces, and almost performing a duet with garden furniture.

You can get inspired by many different trends and ideas for ceramic tile applications in your garden. You can pave landscape areas and walkways with products of different sizes, use tone-on-tone elegance in its most creative form, and increase the warmth of living areas with wood-like ceramics.

For example, if your house and garden have modern architectural touches, you can consider NG Kütahya Seramik's cement textured ceramic Vista, which can be applied both indoors and outdoors. Among the floor tile options, Vista comes in 60 x 60 cm (20 mm) bone, smoked, beige and gray colors, and you can also apply it to the wall in 30 x 90 cm and 30 x 60 cm sizes.

If you want to create a sophisticated space, the stone textured tile series London would suit your garden #Very well! With the London series, which is in perfect harmony with the green tones in your garden with its anthracite and gray colors, you can combine the naturalness of stone with the elegance of porcelain and add stylish liveliness to your outdoor space.

Another stone textured tile option is the Leonardo series, with its abundant color options and anti-slip feature. You can use the Leonardo series in gray, bonnet, anthracite and greige colors, with dimensions of 60 x 60 or 60 x 120 cm.

You can make your selection by considering both aesthetic and technical elements, and while keeping the frequently walked areas wider, you can also decorate the less needed routes with stone and wooden products other than ceramics.

Have many pleasant days in your garden!
