Landscaping for a home or residence can be categorized into two distinct areas...
- Outdoor Residential Landscaping
- Indoor Residential Landscaping
Let's have a look at them closely one by one.
1) Outdoor Residential Landscaping
Any typical independent home building will have a plot empty around the home building. There are some typical names within the landscaping community for these spaces such as front yard, backyard or rear yard etc.
Depending upon which part of the home surrounding you want to landscape, the rules of the design process will change. That is because every space around your home within the plot will have a different function as far as the usability is concerned. Also while designing a landscaping garden for outdoor areas, it is necessary to consider effects of surrounding external factors outside of your plot such as the presence of tall buildings, seashore, etc.
Depending upon your requirements the design of outdoor landscaping will change. For example if you wish to have a swimming pool in your backyard, see to it that there is enough space for other activities and also the maintenance cost of the swimming pool. Proper planning can make things easier and save a lot of money.
2) Indoor Residential Landscaping
The purpose of indoor landscaping is basically to pump life into interiors. For this purpose flowering plants are most popular amongst homeowners. Also, since it is impossible to plant the flowering plants in the ground, container gardening is preferred. The containers can be pots with a stand or eve an arrangement of hanging them in widow or balcony.
Medium height bushes also add to the beauty of interior spaces such as living rooms, family rooms, attached patios, entrance lobbies, etc. Placing a flowering plant in the corner of the interior room helps to balance the strict visual effect caused by two perpendicular walls abutting each other at corners.
Indoor residential landscaping can create wonders in the home interiors if the home interiors have a "oriental decorating theme".
