The garden for people with a green thumb

A farmhouse garden like in grandma’s time radiates pure idyll! In the green, nostalgic and sometimes wild paradise, useful plants for the kitchen meet resting places that invite you to dream. With our tips, turn your property into a garden in a rustic country house style, which brings joy all year round.

What makes the Bauerngarten so special

The farmhouse garden is a form of the country house garden. It has its origin in the second half of the 19th century. Originally it was a fenced piece of land a little away from the farmhouse. Herbs, fruits and vegetables were grown there for everyday life. In general, the focus was on crops, which is understandable given the social status of a peasant family. Ornamental flowers had no place among the plants. Towards the end of the 19th century, the urban bourgeoisie discovered the advantages of its own garden for itself and so the peasant garden also lived in an urban environment and the focus shifted more to aesthetics. Today, the country house style is on everyone’s lips again and, accordingly, the cottage garden is again resonating. This modern country house garden can be based on the origins and be reserved for useful plants, but also offer a place for ornamental plants and fantastically beautiful flowers. If you want to create a farmhouse garden yourself, you can do this quite easily.

The features of a garden in the peasant style

In the farmhouse garden, clever structures meet romantic wildness. What at first glance looks like a colorful mess is a well-thought-out arrangement of ornamental and useful plants that gets the most out of the respective crop. The mixed crops reduce the risk of pests and plant diseases, attract useful bees and are a real feast for the eyes. However, this is exactly where the required green thumb comes into play. Not all plant cultures fit together. Anyone who makes mistakes in the farm garden and when planting the beds may be looking forward to a rich harvest too early. Therefore, new amateur gardeners should first familiarize themselves with the subject and start small in order to make the garden of their dreams a reality without frustration.

Creating a cottage garden: ideas for a colorful plant world in a country house style

When creating a cottage garden, the planting plan is crucial. Vegetables and herbs can be placed on an area that is as square as possible, which is ideally oriented to the south. The east side is also a suitable location. A direct proximity to the house facilitates quick harvesting for the kitchen. The house wall at the same time provides useful protection from cold and wind. A traditional wooden fence to protect against animals is no longer necessary in most areas. Nevertheless, the boundary within the property is still popular and contributes greatly to the ambience.

The basic pattern for the cottage garden

Four beds, separated by narrow paths, serve as a simple basic pattern when creating the garden. The middle of the wayside cross is the ideal place for a small tree, sunflowers or – quite romantically – a fountain. The path system is a harmonious contrast to the apparent confusion in the beds themselves and brings harmony to the garden. The design of the bed frames, for example with boxwood or honeysuckle, is also a treat for the eyes. They also reduce the spread of weeds. Kitchen herbs such as lovage, chives and rosemary, medicinal herbs from sage to yarrow and all kinds of vegetables grow and thrive in the beds themselves. Tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and onions from our own garden are a culinary highlight every time again.

Individual options for the planting plan

Of course, the Bauerngarten planting plan can be adapted individually. In the foreground are those plants that bring the greatest joy to the owner of the garden and his family. If there is not enough time for harvesting and processing vegetables, then there is nothing against planting the country house garden only with ornamental flowers.

Pure relaxation: this is how the farmhouse garden becomes a romantic oasis of peace

Fresh herbs for the pan and sweet berries for the cake are just one aspect of the farm-inspired lifestyle. If you want to create a cottage garden, you should place an equally strong focus on one or more relaxation corners. A path made of gravel, bark mulch or stone slabs leads from the front door through the splendor of flowers to the place that was chosen as a family meeting point and a place of relaxation. Here, during the warm months, people eat, drink coffee or read an exciting book. In the midst of the many plants it is wonderful to switch off from the stressful everyday life and the nature in front of the house gives strength for the upcoming tasks. Friends and acquaintances are guaranteed to be happy about every invitation in the idyllic surroundings. Within a very short time, the country house garden becomes the scene of beautiful moments that will be remembered forever.

The ideal place for the garden furniture is a little away from herb and vegetable beds, in the middle of marigolds, peonies & Co. So the sometimes large pieces do not interfere with gardening and when relaxing outdoors, the beauty of the plants is in the foreground. For larger plots, several of the cozy corners can be set up at once, for different purposes. Thus, the rustic garden bench overlooking the street becomes a meeting place for short conversations with the neighbors or a quick break in the midday sun, while the garden lounger and garden table behind the house benefit from more privacy.

Rustic & cozy: The right garden furniture for the farmhouse garden

Natural woods play a big role in the choice of furniture, which is used in the project “Designing a cottage garden”. The rural garden often looks like something from a bygone era. This is complemented by wooden furniture, which also exudes this ambience. This is why teak wood, which is as noble as it is robust, is often the first choice for nostalgic gardens. Tables, chairs and loungers made of the material are extremely weatherproof and are loyal companions for many years. In untreated condition, teak furniture develops a beautiful silver-gray patina due to wind and weather. Visually, the pieces of furniture automatically look antique and like long-standing family pieces. The patina appears outdoors after only a few weeks if there is enough rain. Thus, even brand new wooden furniture adapts to the historical look of the farmhouse garden in no time.

A country house garden with a modern look

If you want to have your garden in a country house style a little more modern, you can rely on a trendy mix of styles. Modern lounge garden furniture combines wood with aluminium elements. Colorful pillows provide cosiness and also radiate colorful with the flowers around the bet. Also very popular are small bistro sets made of wood, aluminum or rattan. This makes it possible to fully enjoy breakfast for two even in the smallest garden. Finally, with the matching garden decoration, the last optical finishing touch comes to the farmhouse garden. You can create and design your green paradise here again in a very creative way. Ideas with an eye-catcher guarantee are, for example, an old bicycle with flowers planted in a basket or a watering can made of zinc converted into a flower pot.

” With the right furniture for a harmonious ambience “

Having your own party cellar is a great thing. Here you have enough space for game evenings with friends, you can celebrate glittering parties or just sit together in a sociable group. And also quite spontaneously and without having to include the rest of the apartment or the house. You can discover creative and practical ideas with which you can set up your party cellar in this post. Let yourself be inspired.

Which room is best suited?

Although all other rooms that are large enough are also suitable for cheerful gatherings, but if you want to set up a party cellar, you have the advantage of being a little more secluded. Of course, it is important that the room is dry, not too small and that it has enough power connections. Since basement floors are often bare and cold, you could lay a carpet or other suitable floor covering. If frequent dancing is required in the party cellar, the surface should be such that even high heels can not harm it. If you especially want to celebrate parties where you can also turn up the music properly, a soundproofing with regard to the neighbors or other housemates might be a good idea.

It is especially convenient if there is a second room right next to the party room, where you can accommodate a small kitchen. So you have supplies such as food and drinks, but also dishes and decorative items at hand and avoid long distances.

Setting up a party cellar: ideas for furniture, lighting and more

Before setting up your party cellar, you should ask yourself a few questions: what furniture is needed? In what style should the party room shine? How should the decoration turn out? Questions about questions, but it is worth asking them in order to get the best out of the room.

The table for a cozy get-together

If you want to set up a party cellar for social game evenings and for eating and drinking together, a large table with enough chairs is a must-have. A beautiful wooden table lends itself here. Matching wooden benches are also great and invite you to linger with pillows and cozy upholstery. Overall, furniture should fit the overall concept and, of course, your own taste. Here it is good to think about how exactly the room should look and what furniture you need. Of course, there must be room for a dance floor in a party cellar, where dancing is also to be done. In addition, a good music system is the be-all and end-all. A great accessory for the dance floor is a disco ball and other cool lighting elements that create the right mood when dancing.

The corner for resting

Seating is always important – especially on the dance floor. If the space allows it, upholstered furniture or lounge chairs can also create a wonderful atmosphere. Because no matter how much people like to dance: sooner or later everyone is happy about a cozy corner to sit in. Bean bags or large cushions are also ideal for this. Together with small tables in the form of coffee tables, you can create such cozy corners. If the room is rather smaller, you can also make do very well with folding chairs or wall-mounted folding benches and thus offer flexible seating options.

Bar furniture for the party cellar with a home bar

In addition to the seating, of course, a bar is also an indispensable element in a party room for many. The possibilities of design are great here: depending on your taste, bar furniture is available in a rather rustic wooden or modern style with a lot of glass and metal. If you set up your party cellar with a bar counter, you can’t get around bar stools. And then, of course, there is still a need for a place for noble drinks. Wine bottles and spirits are in good hands in wine racks and wine cabinets.

Perfect furnishings in the party cellar: furniture for playing, gambling and watching TV

If you like to play billiards, table football or darts with friends, you should definitely make room for it in your party room. A game table should stand in such a way that it can be played well from all sides. This takes up space and should definitely be considered when setting up. A dartboard, on the other hand, is more frugal, although you have to plan well here too, so that you can throw with a sufficiently large distance. On the other hand, the table and chairs should not be in the immediate vicinity of the dartboard for safety reasons.

If you are setting up your party cellar, it is also smart to make sure that there are sufficient storage facilities for drinks and snacks in addition to the billiard table, the kicker or pinball machine. Furniture such as small tables or wallboards are a good idea here. Of course, if you like to spend TV evenings with your friends or gamble together, you definitely need to set up a corresponding corner with a large screen and suitable seating. Here, too, small tables are indispensable for storing drinks, food and other small things. Special TV furniture is also included. This is the best way to put the TV on a lowboard.

Setting up a party cellar with light accents: ideas for lighting

If you want to set up a party cellar that is practical, atmospheric and flexible, you should definitely think about the lighting a little. A sophisticated lighting concept is the heart of every party room and can provide a lot of comfort and always the right atmosphere. In addition to the ceiling lighting and a lamp above the dining table, floor lamps, dimmed spots and fairy lights also provide optimal lighting that suits every occasion. Black light and light tubes can also have a great effect. Sitting areas should best be discreetly illuminated. Indirect light is a great idea here, or candles, which create a particularly pleasant atmosphere.

Modern Alpine look

” Chalet style and country house Alm “

Cottage charm in your own home: With distinctive elements such as fur, tree trunk slices and coarse wood, the Alpine look radiates rustic cosiness. But how can one interpret the furnishing style in a contemporary, not too rural way? From materials to furniture concepts, we will show you how a modern Alpine look is successfully implemented and at the same time radiates the warmth that we remembered from the last visit to the alpine pasture.

From solid wood to cowhide: living like in the mountains

Lush green meadows, an idyllic wooden hut on a rocky outcrop and tinkling cowbells in the background: many of us visited the Alps for the first time with our parents in childhood and are still enchanted by the spectacular mountain landscapes, the cosiness and the feeling of a stopped time. In addition, a hearty snack and the homemade cake of a friendly family who runs their alpine hut in the same traditional clothes as their parents and grandparents – what could be better? The good news is: with comparatively little effort, the lifestyle of the high mountains can be transported to your own apartment.

The focus of the furniture, also called Alpine Chic, is on solid wooden furniture: characterized by cracks, signs of wear and rusted fittings, they convey a warm atmosphere with a natural fragrance from the robust dining room table of the “living room” to the stool. Natural fabrics and textiles are also indispensable: whether it’s pillowcases made of knitwear, a cowhide in front of the fireplace or a warm felt blanket – the feel must convey a feeling of security when it’s freezing outside and a snowstorm. Also the matching decoration, characterized by the mountain world, should not be missing: tablecloths with checkered patterns, a deer antlers on the wall, bright edelweiss flowers and heart-shaped motifs complete the soul of the alpine look.

A modern touch in alpine country house style

Despite all the rural idyll and cosiness, the alpine look tends to come across as too dark and a little stale in its most rustic forms. For all those who want more brightness and contemporary accents, the look should be interpreted as a modern country style. This starts with walls, floors and ceilings before the furnishing even begins: classic, white ceilings instead of dark, oppressive wooden beams and lighter wooden floorboards on the floor create a cheerful, but still natural atmosphere. In addition, a modern Alpine look manages to stylishly integrate furniture made of teak and other lighter woods into the ambience. Our tip: If you choose furniture for the country house style with alpine charm, you should always consider tradition and modernity in parallel. A buffet cabinet for the exhibition of the best porcelain, for example, is a conventional piece of furniture from scratch, but acquires a contemporary aesthetic due to rounded compartments and a medium brightness (for example, made of teak wood).

A modern alpine look is also characterized by the selective use of traditional decoration. The more numerous the check patterns, hearts, hunting motifs and other Alpine-look home accessories are to be found, the sooner the atmosphere of a 19th-century mountain hut comes up. If you like it modern, you should use these elements visibly, but in moderation.

Sheep, cow and Reindeer: Cozy skins for cuddling

This is especially true for one of the most important components when setting up in the alpine look: skins. Soft and cuddly, they make the home cozy and spread a secure sense of space, especially in winter. In front of the fireplace, in the armchair, on the sofa – even a comparatively modern country style offers limitless possibilities for laying out the skins. Different types have to be differentiated: while the sheepskins and lambskins popular in Germany are characterized by their soft character, cowskins cut a good figure on benches, armchairs, in the living room and bedroom.

Our insider tip: For more variety, the reindeer skins popular in Scandinavia, which are available in a wide variety of colors, should also be tried out. Their sensitivity makes them unsuitable for use on the floor, but all the more pleasant in the seating area.

Furs make an important contribution to the principle that we emphasize in every country house style: natural materials must dominate. Paired with other fabrics and textiles, for example a soft felt cushion, a winter heating bottle made of merino wool or knitted hearts as window decoration, the skins bring a pure alpine feeling to every apartment in the world.

Heavy, coarse and robust: wooden furniture

Since alpine chic is a special form of country house style, country house furniture is ideally suited for furnishing in a mountainous charm. From the endearing corner display case from the Gründerzeit to the Art Nouveau secretary made of light brown softwood, everything is possible that shows natural grain and a few unevenness. Even very ordinary country house furniture undergoes an alpine transformation in no time when it is paired with the right decoration: a coffee table on cowhide or a soft cushion with a check pattern on the dining chair evoke memories of the last holiday in South Tyrol. However, in order to create a modern Alpine look, the wood colors and designs must not be arbitrarily put together: while the original traditional Alpine hut gains its sympathy through a certain chaos (similar to the English country house style), the modern variant should rely on reasonably uniform furniture. For example, if you use a large wardrobe made of light wood in the bedroom, the rest of the furniture (bed frame, bedside table, etc.) should not be designed in dark or very different wood tones.

Alpendeko: The mountain world in your own home

Like hardly any other furnishing style, Alpine chic thrives on loving decoration. Principle number one is: leave everything natural and create a connection to the mountain landscape that surrounds a typical alpine hut. Hunting motifs such as deer antlers on the wall are just as welcome as playful elements, ranging from bows and cowbells to heart shapes, which can appear practically anywhere. Whether on the key chain of the front door, as a pattern on the couch throw or in the form of lovingly crafted straw decorations: there is warmth on the alp, which is expressed with the symbol of love.

A special role is played by alpine floral decoration, which, depending on the season, belongs to the decor in dried or fresh form. In autumn and winter, for example, we recommend a bouquet of dried flowers in the reddish-purple color spectrum, while spring and summer should be characterized by fresh flowers. Above all, the Edelweiss, but also red Pentecost cloves, the silver chamomile and sweet bell flowers in mini format fit perfectly. If you like it particularly expressive, enrich the decoration with bright blue autumn gentian or bring dachwurze into your interior. The latter even inhabit barren rock regions – another inspiration for their interior: bowls and other objects made of natural stone are an excellent match for the modern alpine look. Take a look at nature and let yourself be inspired!

” The right coating for optimal furniture care “

When caring for wooden furniture, two variants are mainly used – oiling and waxing. But when is which option suitable and which work steps are involved? In order to make the right decision, a few factors should be taken into account.

Teak wood is a raw material that provides a stylish look in every interior in the form of noble furniture. However, the material is also susceptible to contamination, which is why it is necessary to take care of proper wood care. Two options are mainly considered, which are suitable for the preparation of wooden furniture in the country house style: oiling and waxing. Which of these variants is recommended for you, of course, depends on which type of furniture you are preparing. Is it garden or indoor furniture? And what kind of stress are the good pieces exposed to? If you are aware of these factors, you base your decision for the appropriate polish on them.

Growing wood: beautiful shine, superficial furniture care

At room temperature, wax has a rather firm consistency. The products used for furniture care are made of solvents and liquefied wax, so they can be easily applied due to the light consistency. However, after the teak grows, the solvents evaporate, which creates an unpleasant odor that can last for a while. The wax then returns to its pasty original state and remains for the most part on the surface of the waxed wooden furniture. This results in a beautiful shine, which is appreciated by many connoisseurs and looks elegant, especially with large cabinets made of teak wood. However, the wax softens at a higher temperature, which can lead to sticky spots.

The great advantages of the application Teak cabinet made of reclaimed wood with two drawers the natural properties of wax go hand in hand with its natural properties. Beeswax, for example, does not require any chemical additives and is therefore suitable for allergy sufferers. In addition, wax is more water-repellent than oil. Waxing is also recommended if you prefer a radiant shine on your furniture.

It should be noted that oiling is no longer possible after waxing, because the wax more or less closes the surface.

Furniture care with oil: Simple, effective, sustainable

By its nature, this substance has a liquid consistency, so it is not necessary to add solvents to it before using it as furniture care. During the treatment, it penetrates deep into the teak furniture and reliably protects it. For example, if you oil teak chests of drawers, then there are no superficial seals, but actual impregnations that repel dirt particularly well. Oiling the wood does not change the appearance of the pieces of furniture and so they retain their original appearance. Linseed oil and special oil for teak wood are excellent for furniture care, preferably with natural ingredients.

How to do furniture care with oil?

Unlike when you grow teak furniture, the applied oil is absorbed very deeply into the wood. However, this is also the only big difference. In the course of the individual activities, the procedure turns out to be identical for both variants.

Whether you are oiling or waxing teak wood – with a brush, both substances are generously applied to the wooden furniture and evenly distributed after you have removed all residues and cleaned the piece to be treated from any dirt.

Under certain circumstances, you may make several spreads and let the previous one soak in for 20 minutes each.

Where there is still a clear shine in some places after painting, there is excess oil that could not be absorbed. In the case of excess wax, you should definitely remove the remnants, as dirt can easily spread here. It is best to use a lint-free rag to carry off the excess. After that, you should pull in the coating and let the piece of furniture rest for a day. The coating hardens during this waiting time and forms a protective layer by forming a connection with the wood fibers inside the teak furniture and providing impregnation.

Special case: shellac furniture – oiling afterwards or to a specialist?

The most striking surface that a piece of furniture can have is probably a hand-polished shellac surface. Shellac is obtained from the excretions of silk aphids and processed by various methods. Resins are also added to the resulting polishes, the application itself takes place in two steps. First, the raw shellac is applied and after a drying time of several days to weeks, grinding and further layers of the polish are then carried out. This is characterized by its thinness – the thinner, the more artistically worked. The hand-polished surface shines in a brilliant shine.

Chest of drawers cherry wood solid Unfortunately, shellac polished wooden furniture is very sensitive to water, scratches and light. And the layman can not do much for his polish, except to nourish the surface with a few drops of fine oil, if it seems dried up. Almond or nut oils are suitable here, the effect of which should first be tested in an inconspicuous place.

If the surface has any damage, it must be treated by a professional.

Oiling or waxing teak furniture – the advantages in a nutshell

The furniture care by waxing or oiling should preserve the beauty of the wood, so that the beloved pieces of furniture are still attractive even after years. Artificial ingredients for a natural surface can be completely dispensed with here.

It is generally recommended to grow wooden furniture when pieces of furniture should get a soft shine and are not exposed to too heavy loads or adverse circumstances. On the other hand, furniture care with special oil that penetrates deep into the material offers more lasting protection.

” A study with rural charm “

A country-style study room can be easily integrated into your own living space or into a separate living area. If you are planning to set up a small office or home office in your own four walls, you can do a lot of work from home. This can be the tax return, a professional activity or any other office work, there is no limit there.

Working creatively in a special environment

beech wall-country house-eight shelves-antique brown-height-240-cm The furnishing style in your own study is of particular importance. Because it’s not much fun to think about facts and figures in a dreary environment. Inspiration is an essential factor for creative work at work. Therefore, it is important to create a pleasant atmosphere for yourself when working. This can be achieved by the appropriate lighting or by a tasteful interior with beautiful solid wood furniture in a country house style. Office furniture made of wood creates a very special mood. Because the lively warm solid wood is not only a treat for the senses, but also radiates peace. And after all, this is one of the basic requirements for developing creative ideas.

Setting up the country house office

If you furnish your study in the design of the country house style, you will create a unique atmosphere in your home office: surrounded by fine woods, you can work calmly and with concentration. Solid wood furniture, like an antique desk, makes a good focal point in the home office. The desk is one of the most central elements in a workplace. On its working surface, papers are spread out and documents are processed daily. Electronic devices such as the telephone or notebook have their traditional place here. Therefore, the correct quality is of decisive importance when choosing the material of the countertop. Exceptional stability and durability together with an attractive design are the ingredients that make furniture that will accompany you at work for years.

Furthermore, a high wooden bookcase impresses, in which books and folders can be accommodated. The stylish shelf is also well suited as a room divider for small rooms, for example, if the negotiating corner and desk are to be separated. A fur rug provides the necessary cozy atmosphere. If you like fresh flowers, you can place them in a flower vase matching the color of this living atmosphere on the secretary or desk in the study. In addition, plants of any kind emphasize the natural harmony of the home working space.

The most important furniture: your workplace in the country house

Office furniture made of teak or other solid hardwoods is almost indestructible and pleases every day anew. If you have little space to put up larger pieces of furniture, you can fall back on a small secretary in the Art Nouveau style. This piece of furniture looks elegant and always tidy due to the charging flap. To work, it is only necessary to lower the flap.

In the neat compartments all papers and folders are at hand. The Art Nouveau secretary is well suited for retiring for an hour to a place in a corner of the room for quiet work. Furthermore, a modern notebook can be easily set up on the large countertop of the antique furniture. Thus, if necessary, even in a small country house office, a workplace can be opened or closed again quickly.

More space in the office space: Simply create a lot of storage space

An important factor in a study is the storage space provided. Because it prevents everything from sinking into a never-ending chaos.

Thus, the appropriate cabinets and shelves are indispensable furnishings to accommodate documents, folders and books. Office furniture made of wood such as an antique desk can be well combined with selected pieces made of the same woods. A shelf, for example, from the already generous Gründerzeit has a large amount of space due to many shelves and a large drawer.

desk-country house-teak-natural-width-140-cm

A bookcase in the country house style is not only elegantly designed, but also practical in use as a working furniture. The interior, equipped with these ideas, looks not only noble, but also neat and tidy. The furniture does not let the work guess. The only thing that visitors experience is the cozy homely atmosphere created by the combination of the antique wooden furniture.

The right lighting for the workplace

Sufficient lighting is a factor in the living area that should not be underestimated. Especially in a study or in a separate place where work is being done, appropriate light is particularly important.

On the one hand, it is of great importance that the entire room has general lighting. This can be realized, for example, by ceiling lighting or wall spotlights that generate indirect light. If a body shadow is thrown on the table by the person sitting at the desk, an additional desk lamp can easily be used to remedy the situation. However, this should be designed in such a way that it offers some flexible adjustment options.

Lamps in the country house style can themselves be very massive and rustic, thus creating a harmonious overall picture. However, restrained designs are also currently in vogue, which underline the natural flair and let antique pieces of furniture appear with puristic design and set the scene accordingly.

This is how your office becomes a country house office

If you equip your own country house office with furniture made of solid wood, you should make sure not to combine too many different colors with each other. Period furniture from the Art Nouveau or the Wilhelminian period is an excellent accent. If all pieces of furniture are to be antique, it is recommended to set them to one era. The domestic work space looks particularly inviting due to the matching seating furniture. Additional seating with chairs in a domestic office space is ideal for meetings, planning, demonstrations or meetings.

If it’s about the central office chair and you often stay in this office, you should give preference to ergonomically shaped, modern variants. Leather armchairs in black or brown are by no means a break in style, but skillfully work out the country house flair. A homely ambience can be created by indoor plants and carpets. Decoration with pictures and photos that always bring a lot of joy, give the room a personal touch and make you feel at home in the office!
