The garden pathway is a must-have not only because it enriches the landscape and make the décor more beautiful but also for practical reasons. At its origin, the pathway was merely a means of traversing the garden without getting dirt on the shoes and without damaging the grass but it later became an important part of the landscape and designers have come up with all sorts of interesting ideas for how to make it stand out.

The pathway alone isn’t the only attraction here. The archway is also very attractive

There are numerous interesting designs for the garden pathway. They range from simple and modern to sophisticated and elegant. The pathway can be an extension of the design of the house or it can be a means to add texture and color to the garden. You can opt for all sorts of beautiful designs and ideas, for pathways that feature clean, geometric lines to pathways with delicate curves and combinations of materials.

The fluidity of the lines creates a very charming look in this case

Modern pathway designs don’t need to follow symmetrical lines

Use brick tiles to give your garden pathway a rustic and warm look

Or use an accent color such as this light orange shade to make the décor cohesive

For a minimalist look, focus on clean, simple lines and shapes

A more unusual but equally interesting charming idea is to use bricks to create a garden pathway. They can be arranged in a herringbone pattern or in a variety of other ways, creating textured and patterned designs. Two or more colors can be combined to create a trim or to emphasize the shape of the pathway.

Try a checkerboard pattern with grass patches for a fairy-tale-inspired look

The white gravel and minimalist walkway give the garden a zen look

Sometimes the pathway is there just for functional reasons

Smooth, organic shapes and curves are always alluring

Don’t want the pathway to stand out? Don’t give it a defined shape

Don’t forget about the pathway lighting. Sometimes this can turn into a focal point

Adapt the design of the pathway to its size and location

Use a combination of materials and colors if you prefer an eclectic look

The simplicity of this pathway is matched by its beauty

Arrange the pavers, stone or tiles in patterns for a distinct look

Build a raised pathway if it runs through a pond of if the garden tends to get muddy

The width of the pathway is dictated by a variety of details and is always customizable

Opt for a paver pathway with a simple design to draw attention to the vegetation

Or make it look mysterious by hiding the stones under fallen leaves

If you have a sloped garden, arrange the stones into steps

The undulating lines of this pathway perfectly capture the landscape beyond

Add moss to the pathway stones to make them look less artificial

Some designs feature a combination of stores/ tiles/ pavers and grass. This is a great opportunity to get creative and to come up with unique and distinct looks for the garden. For example, try a checkerboard pattern where you alternate square tiles and patches of green grass.

Create a small fence around the pathway using recycled bottles or jars

This little stone bench is a quirky feature for the garden pathway

Here’s an idea: use wood slices instead of stones or pavers

Or use bricks to give the pathway a rustic look if you like this style

Create a green archway above the pathway with vines and poles

Another idea is to make a wood pathway using reclaimed boards

Or perhaps a concrete pathway would suit a modern home better

The flowery archway definitely steals all the attention in this case

Similarly, the bright colors and landscape complement these steps beautifully

Highlight the length of a pathway by arranging the pavers like this

Or play with different patterns and mix and match things for a unique look

All the pieces fit perfectly together like in a puzzle

The cute flowers are something you can add to your own garden

There are also numerous other designs and geometric shapes to explore

For contemporary gardens, cleaner and simpler designs are more suitable

Have fun recycling tires and using them in the garden

Or repurpose wooden pallets for a similar purpose

Choose the style of the pathway, its design and the materials and colors you use depending on the ambiance you wish to create in the garden or yard. For example, if you want the space to look zen and relaxing, use small pebbles, clean lines and add a bit of Asian flair to the composition as well. But if you want something rustic and authentic, focus on organic shapes, natural materials and irregular details.

Be symmetrical. This strategy usually suits traditional designs and architecture

Think on a small scale and include several features in one area

These round platforms look really cute, like mushrooms in a garden

Connect multiple pathways to cover a large garden

This is a design you can create with recycles bottle caps

The way the pathway runs through the trees is indeed whimsical

Delineate the pathway using flower beds or fences, like a labyrinth

There’s no need or a flashy pathway when you have a beautiful garden

Direct the pathway strategically to the areas you use frequently

Here’s another stone pathway that runs through a pond

Add a small bridge to make the landscape more interesting

The colors, materials and shapes you use should reflect the style used throughout

There are always simpler ways to get the look you want

Place lanterns strategically where the pathway makes a turn

The pathways that have irregular stones in their structure with organic shapes are very charming. They emphasize the natural charm of the garden and go beautifully with the whole landscape. Of course, stone isn’t the only material you can use for a pathway. Wood can also be a nice option and, of course, ingenious choices that could include glass, sand and all sorts of other materials.

  • The term “living in a bubble” may be associated with being disconnected from the harsh realities of the world, but in this case, it’s actually a good thing!

The Living O’Pod is an experimental pod house that promotes a better lifestyle through the integration of nature into the home’s design. Designed for two people to comfortably stay in, the pod is shaped like a transparent bubble that sits amongst the wilderness, with a design so minimal, it puts its surroundings front and center.

The two-story pod comes with a steel frame as its main structure, and glass panels all around, almost like a glass igloo. While this undeniably does a number on resident privacy, its remote location itself gives you the solitude you need to live with absolute transparency. The obvious benefit? Incredible lighting, stellar views, and probably the best sunrises and sunsets you could enjoy within the comforts of your bed!
