Finding the Right Building And Garden Elements for You
Choosing the right antique or vintage building and garden elements can prove pivotal when you’re working to beautify any room in your home or just put the finishing touches on a garden or other outdoor area.
It takes time and effort to improve your outdoor space or merely to bring an air of tranquility to an indoor area set aside for private relaxation or gathering with friends. The good news is that 1stDibs can help.
To introduce a sense of timelessness to a back patio or interior common area, choose cast-stone statues or sculptural busts for a dose of drama or select ornate architectural elements such as corbels, plaques or panels made of marble or iron. Elsewhere, find a focal point in your living room and create a “feature wall” by bringing pops of color into a corner with handmade antique ceramic tiles.
It helps when design changes like these have a practical upside too.
Victorian cast-iron stair treads hearken back to a time when adding decorative details to your property was a priority. While lending an attractive appearance to an exterior staircase, these safeguards render the steps slip-resistant for those coming and going. And as one good stylistic choice usually leads to another, pairing your sophisticated treads with a coupling of 19th-century hand-forged andirons would be a thoughtful, durable touch for any courtyard or comfortable lounge space, be they intended for an indoor fireplace or a patio firepit.
Where the garden is concerned, any sophisticated garden ornaments you select should work with nature, not against it. Wrought-iron garden gates will simply refuse to be relegated to the background. Instead, they’ll draw attention to your painstakingly sculpted hedges and colorful flora. When paired with a sparse arrangement of other tasteful additions, such as a stone planter, garden stool or other welcoming pieces of outdoor seating, the effect can be transformative.
On 1stDibs, find a sprawling collection of antique garden furniture and architectural elements that meet every need. Our offerings include everything from sculptural bathroom fixtures to flooring ideas to pedestals and columns designed in a variety of styles and much more.
- Are plant stands necessary?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023No, plant stands aren’t always necessary. You can place a planter on a windowsill, shelf or another surface, provided the location gets enough light. However, plant stands can be useful when you don’t have a surface near a window. Some people also use them simply because they like how they look. On 1stDibs, find a collection of plant stands.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023There are many things you can do with old plant stands. You can use them to display houseplants and artificial arrangements, to showcase sculptures and decorative accents, to hold lamps and more. On 1stDibs, find a selection of plant stands.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There is no widely-used term for Victorian plant stands. Plant stands were popular during the reign of Queen Victoria, and many antique examples still exist today. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Victorian plant stands from some of the world’s top sellers.
