This old building is about a hundred years old, although, looking at it, you can’t say it. The first thing that catches your eye is the colorful sea of flowers, in which both the house and the courtyard are buried. Flowers everywhere - on the walls, windows, veranda. Elegant and aristocratic and majestically beautiful stock-roses with double flowers, planted with a thin strip between the house and the walkway, complete the design. Annual flowers frolic under them. The front door is decorated on the sides with flowers in tubs.

The painted shutters of the house, together with flowering plants, which, then merrily stick up, then gracefully fall down, form a single colorful picture. Bright shutters give the house individuality and a special flavor.

Rural houses, as a rule, serve as a model for decorating residential buildings with flowers. A house of Frisian construction offers plenty of space for lush flowering: variegated flowers in the boxes decorate the windows, garlands of climbing green rush upward along the walls, and delicate flowers hang in the corners of the hanging baskets, forming a motley cascade. On all sides the house is surrounded by flower balls in tubs, forming a harmonious unity with the facade and style of construction. From all of this, city dwellers will most likely be forced to give up, but this does not mean that they should completely abandon the green, flourishing oasis and enjoy only the gray despondency of concrete houses.

Let's start with flowers decorating the windows of the house outside. Flower boxes can be put on the window sill, provided that it is wide enough. If the windows open outward, or are decorated with shutters, which is very fashionable lately, the flower boxes are fastened below the outside window sill with the help of special brackets. As for plants, their choice depends on the orientation of the windows with respect to the cardinal points. And here we have a floral compass.

Place on the balcony

On the usual balcony fence there is plenty of space for flowers. You can hang flower boxes

from the outside, down on the parapet
top on the inside
top outside
down from the inside.

You can choose one of the options, or combine two or even all four options for placing flower boxes, thus creating a continuous wall of flowering. Ampiel plants in hanging pots form an idyllic picture, bringing notes of cheerfulness in floral design at different levels.

City balconies

Spacious terrace-like balconies of multi-storey buildings are often equipped with built-in ones, which allows growing not only flowers and tub plants, but even small bushes. If all residents of an apartment building will take part in gardening their balconies and loggias, the result will not be long in coming. It is not necessary that the balconies are completely repeated each other. Rather, let everyone indulge their sympathies. The main thing that the flower boxes were painted in the same color, and this color would be in harmony with the shades of colors. It is best to choose neutral colors - white, light beige or gray, and in no case, not green.

We would like to bring to your attention interesting compositions for the decoration of balconies and windows, made up of summer flowers, the diversity of which is so great that it can satisfy the most unusual desires.
