Beautiful Roof Gardens and Landscape Designs
We came across some interesting landscape designing concepts from London based designers MyLandscapes. Whether you're a city dweller or a southern bell, we know everyone enjoys a place where they can sit, relax and self-reflect. So we are sure that you will appreciate the beautiful contemporary roof top terraces and gardens we have featured below. Assuming they will probably leave you curious to know more about the achievement of mastery in the great design and mood of these outdoor spaces, we'll provide you with some guidelines that will help you design your own landscapes and create garden scenes that you and your loved ones can enjoy for years, using essential elements to create that WOW factor.
Let's begin shall we
Lighting plays a serious role in creating depth and composition, setting a mood, providing security and highlighting a pathway. One way to achieve high drama is to use subtle accent up-lights to feature a beautiful wall, sculpture or tree.
For a modern edge, you can use white rocks or sand to create contrast against the foliage by highlighting the plant forms and colors in your garden.
Rock gardens are good for the green-thumb challenged and provide a beautiful organic element to an otherwise stark modern space.
Sculptures are a nice way to create a focal point and add interest with upscale style!
Fountains are a sure way to evoke peace and tranquility throughout your space!
Consider using perennials first so that your garden will look good with or without annual plants. Pine trees can be really ornate (ever see Edward Scissorhands?) and will stay green all year round! Also, using potted plants and actually planting will add texture and height variation.
Before you get started, take measurements and create a plan that will help you allocate your budget for materials as well as figure where to place plants, fountains, ornaments, walkways and seating areas in your garden. Take into account the flow of traffic and how you will define the space as well, whether by fence, wall, trees, etc.

Decorate Your House With Style For Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is about to come, therefore take a look at your house and apply some dA cor changes. The feast requires not only following the old traditions, but also creating a proper festive dA cor.
In case you dona??t want to change the entire dA cor, start with the small accents. Change the fabrics with some autumn-colored patterns and the typical warm colors.
It will add a smooth atmosphere. Replace the old curtains with new ones as you choose some darker curtains in order to create more contrast in the room. The doorways also need a little change.
Go for small accessories such as the personalized autumn heart welcome slate plaque. It is a decorative slate plaque that includes autumn leaves arranged in heart patterns.
The welcome greeting is made out of plastic leaves and it creates an intimate welcome to your home.
Another good thing you can do for your home is to change the living room dA cor. Add some mirrors near the table and place candles under them.
The furniture also can be replaced. Go for antique furniture, in case your living room is spacious enough. If it is a small room, just add some typical country-styled furniture.
A leather sofa near the fireplace is also very good idea for Thanksgiving. Get some vintage decoration, for they are perfect for Thanksgiving. Dona??t hesitate to add some family portraits on the walls. It is yet another stylish decision for your festive dA cor. Dona??t forget to place the typical for the season pumpkins on the table. You can also place some accessories that resemble pumpkins.
Go for soft rugs and cushions, for they add some comfort in the room. The color palette should be neutral. Recently the chocolate palette is also considered as very proper for Thanksgiving, so you can place some mini light brown decorative pillows on the sofa. The table setting is one of the most important things at Thanksgiving, so go for some festive centerpieces.
The centerpiece should combine natural elements with seasonal sparkle. It can be autumn flowers, combined with decorative rocks or candles. The candles light are also part of the Thanksgiving dA cor, so add some colored candle light. The silver plates decorated with some mini cupboards are very proper for the Thanksgiving dinner.
You shouldna??t also forget your garden. Use your imagination and place some decorative figures in your yard. This way you will feel the real spirit of Thanksgiving into your home.
