If designed correctly, your garden could be one of the most romantic areas of your home! I’m not exactly sure what it is, but peonies, flower-covered archways, and a rosebush or two just look effortlessly timeless and just like a fairytail! If you dream of having a romantic garden, these few design ideas are just the thing. You’ll feel like you belong in a Jane Austen novel with these incredible romantic garden ideas.
Lush Flowers
If the first thing you thought of when you read this title was a luxurious rose garden, you aren’t alone! In fact, you’re just like me! To make your garden feel hopelessly romantic, plant varieties of rose bushes, peonies, hydrangeas, and lilies around your garden. Pick between shades of red, pink, orange, and blues; the color scheme is totally up to you!
Garden Water Fountains
Garden water fountains provide a relaxing aura and they may help to attract a variety of birds and other good insects. The trickling water helps your garden space feel much calmer which will, in turn, make your space feel much more romantic. You’ll immediately notice how much more romantic (not to mention calmer) this water feature makes your garden feel!
Garden Benches
I mentioned how important flowers were to the overall scheme of your romantic garden, but I forgot to mention how important seating was! Tuck benches away within hidden the hidden alcoves of your garden and outfit with luxurious (yet weather-proof!) pillows. You’ll appreciate a safe space to sit and enjoy the scenery and any guest will love it too!
A Hammock
The only thing more luxurious than hidden-away garden seating is hidden-away garden sleeping. A hammock is a perfect place within your garden to pass the afternoon away. Whether it be with a book or a loved one, you’re sure to enjoy this garden hangout. When hanging your hammock, be sure to pick an area of your garden that will support it. I like to hang my hammock between wooden deck beams or between sturdy tree branches. Be sure that you choose wisely, a hammock isn’t best enjoyed sitting on the floor. 😉 Personally, I like this fringed macrame hammock from Amazon!
Twinkle Lights and Lanterns
Good lighting is key to any atmosphere! For an instantly romantic garden idea, string fairy lights among your tall standing trees or other structures. Fairy lights will make your yard look more inviting instantly and you can add hanging lanterns for even more seasonal appeal. During the holidays, you can fill your lanterns with seasonal-appropriate decor pieces. Now, all you have to do is remember to turn the lights on when you head out with your special someone!
Garden Archways
A romantic garden isn’t complete without a flower-filled archway. Though it would be expensive to re-create an archway like this in your yard, you can create something similar with a metal garden archway. Over time, your garden greenery will (hopefully) overtake this metal archway, making it the perfect place to share a kiss underneath. Consider this garden archway from Amazon, or this one, when planning a romantic garden archway!
