How to hide a shed and all its flaws

A utility block or a shed is usually an unremarkable structure, hammered from residues of building materials. There is no beauty in it, so it is best to disguise the nondescript house with greenery. There are several options for this. You can fix hanging pots on the wall and plant flowering annuals in them. As flowerpots, there can even be plastic bottles.

How to turn outbuildings into a decoration of the site — Another way is to make a trellis on the wall from wooden shingles and let climbing plants on it: girlish grapes or ivy

You can put a vertical bed in front of the shed, which will hide all the flaws of the building

How to decorate watering barrels

One barrel is usually not enough for watering, and a string of these containers can hardly be considered a decoration.

What can be done in this situation? First of all, you can paint and paint the barrels with a pattern or ornament using a stencil

You can wrap iron barrels with a vine or thick rope, fix wooden slats in a circle.

To make the barrels less visible, they can be buried in the ground, and plants can be planted around the edges.

You will get such mini-ponds in which you can take water for irrigation

And if you illuminate these objects with flashlights on solar powered, you will not worry that someone in the dark will "dive" into your mini-pond.

Fence as a canvas for creativity

If you feel the talent of an artist in yourself, then fence can become your canvas.

It is most convenient to paint with acrylic paint, adding the color you need for the shade

In addition to drawings, you can use the same hanging pots, trellises and hedge.

You can decorate an ordinary mesh fence with bright covers.

A capital concrete or brick fence will become unique if you make a volumetric applique on it

Septic tank disguise

Sewer hatch certainly not attractive, even if these are modern plastic products that look very neat.

You can disguise it literally in no time: fix a piece of artificial plastic lawn on it. In this form, the hatch will cease to be noticeable.

You can also leave a decorative element on the hatch cover - something like a well or a garden sculpture

It's a great idea to disguise the hatch as a false rock. It is hollow inside, but outside it looks like a boulder.

Street toilet and its endless possibilities

Here, hardly anything can be done, skeptics will say - and they will be wrong. What options have network creative authors not come up with. The toilet can definitely become an art object. You can decorate it with the help of original painting, landscaping and the use of overhead decorative elements.

Look, who would have thought it was a toilet?

Woodpile as decoration of the yard

Firewood piled up in a heap also causes an unpleasant feeling. Even just a neatly folded woodpile is good.

And if you add it up with imagination, you get a stunning view, against which you want to take a photo.

Compost pile for a feast for the eyes

And finally, the trivial compost heap - can you do something with it? You can, if you arrange it in a "basket" of intertwined branches.

This compost looks very nice and you will not worry about the unsightly appearance anymore.

How the compost bin should be arranged - in this video:
