There ain't no garden without planters. For all that our houseplants do for us, like clean the air we breathe to start with, the least we can do is give them a beautiful (and sustainable) home. Sustainability and upcycling are going to be a major decor trend in 2022, so it only makes sense to add upcycled planters in your green corner. 

Get Planters From: If you want to get new planters that are not plastic, then go for brands like Sashaa World, Knotty Dhaage, Planter's Corner, or All That Grass. They make awesome earth-friendly planters from natural fibers (like jute, rattan, water hyacinth, and Sabai grass), as well as recycled materials (like tyres, glass, etc) - these planters will transform the look of your balcony or outdoor garden altogether!

The Right Furniture (And Furnishings) Make All The Difference

Set up a small table with some chairs for an Alice-In-Wonderland-style al fresco dining spot, if you have a huge backyard garden. Or, bring in some floor cushions and throw some colourful cushions on top of them if you've got a small and cozy balcony space. At the end of the day, a garden space is meant to bust a few of your stresses, while you sip on your evening tea there, or sit with your BAE and watch a film (and the setting sun) together. And the right furniture or furnishings make all the difference. 

Get Furniture From: Sirohi by Skilled Samaritan Foundation makes excellent recycled Charpoy Benches and Patterned Stools for your home and garden space. Do check out Sheen Decor and Amoliconcepts for garden stools, and Hangit for hammocks, in case you have a bigger space in your garden.

How About A Fairy Garden?

If you thought that fairy gardens are just fun garden activities for kids, think again. A new study shows that fairy gardens are the most searched for online. They've been in demand all of 2021, and they continue to be loved by plant parents. These miniature gardens create whimsical, fantasy scenes, typically involving fairy figurines and miniatures of fairy homes. Many designs are exceptionally detailed. Some people also take the fairy garden theme large-scale, building human-sized doors into trees in their gardens, or opting for full-sized sculptures of fairies. However, it is the most suitable for smaller and cozier balcony spaces. 

Get Fairy Gardens From: Make a magical backyard by purchasing fairy gardens from Chiguru- The Miniature Garden Store, or Muddy Waters Mini Gardens. You can also opt for terrariums from Trust Basket or Flower Aura

One cannot not like the chirping sound of the birds in the morning (or any time of the day to be honest). It's like music to the ears. Birds are most attracted to gardens with the maximum amount of greenery, or when you hang a bird feeder or a birdhouse for them, with some bird food. If you want to have a soothing ambience in your garden, adding these feeders will enhance the authenticity of your green space, and also give it a quirky look. 

Get Birdhouses/Feeders From: Jaypore has really sturdy and pretty doubledecker birdhouses. You can also get this DIY chirping box cum house from The Nestery. Brown Living has elegant and sustainable bamboo birdhouses too.

In addition to the chirping of the birds, how about the melodic sounds of windchimes? There’s something serene and soothing about the sounds made by wind chimes in the breeze. A perfect wind chime for the garden space will be the one that looks like an aesthetic piece of artwork but functions like a percussive instrument. A colourful windchime will ideally stand out in a home garden, amongst all the foliage. If you're decking up an outdoor garden space, or your lounging space, you can go for metallic chimes instead. 

Get Windchimes From: Forestkraft has lovely metallic wind chimes for your garden's walls. Get this crescent moon-shaped win chime from Knotty Rope. Or go for handcrafted shell wind chimes from Leafy Stories.
