When we talk about gardens, we usually speak about planting, but hardscaping is just as important. Elements like walkways, edging, and structures help turn the wildness of a garden into another room in the home. Ina Garten's mini seating shed is the perfect example of this.
A recent Instagram post of The Barefoot Contessa's garden idea shows that her yard is backed by an open shed with two Adirondack chairs facing outwards. The structure is covered with ivy for a romantic and cohesive look. What makes the whole thing appear so striking is the use of symmetry to draw the eye back, transforming the backyard into a design-led experience.
