The fast pace of modern life and the constant noise we are exposed to can lead to mental and emotional fatigue. Therefore, creating a space where we can find silence and calm outside our home is important for spiritual balance and peace. Designing a space in your garden that will provide silence and calm will be good for both your body and soul. Here are some tips and suggestions for garden design for silence and calm.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SPACE

Choosing the right space in your garden for silence and calm is the first step to creating a peaceful environment.

An Isolated Corner

Choose a less used and quiet corner of your garden. This will allow you to get away from environmental noise.

Shade and Cool Areas

Create natural shades or shady structures to avoid the direct effects of the sun. This will provide a cool and comfortable environment on hot summer days.

USING NATURAL MATERIALS

Prefer natural materials to ensure that your garden is in harmony with nature.

Wood and Stone

Wooden furniture, stone paths and decorative items made with natural materials increase the peace of your garden.

Natural Plants

Equipping your garden with local plants harmonizes with the natural ecosystem and makes maintenance easier.

ADDING THE ELEMENT OF WATER

Water has a calming effect and can add peace to your garden.

A Small Waterway

You can benefit from the soothing sound of water by adding a small waterway, waterfall or fountain. Water sounds are ideal for meditation and relaxation.

Water Containers

Water containers that you will place in various parts of your garden provide an aesthetic appearance while also creating a sense of calm with the sound of water.

CREATING QUIET AREAS

Quiet areas provide the perfect environment for you to find peace in your garden.

Meditation Corner

Create a meditation corner equipped with pillows and cushions in a quiet corner of your garden. You can sit here and meditate quietly.

Reading Area

Create a reading corner with a comfortable chair or hammock. This area will be ideal for you to read a book or relax in a quiet environment.

SELECTING PLANT

You can create a peaceful atmosphere in your garden by choosing the right plants.

Lavender and Rosemary

Plants with calming scents such as lavender and rosemary create a peaceful atmosphere in your garden.

Green Plants

Green leafy plants relax the eyes and help you connect with nature. Bamboo and ferns are ideal plants to create a calm environment.

SOFT LIGHTING

The right lighting helps you create a calm and peaceful atmosphere in your garden.

Natural Light

Enjoy natural lighting throughout the day by making the most of your garden's natural light.

Soft and Warm Lights

Add soft and warm lighting that you can use in the evening hours. Candles, lanterns and LED lights provide a peaceful atmosphere.

NATURAL SOUND BARRIERS

Use natural sound barriers to block environmental noise.

Fences and Walls

High fences or walls provide silence in your garden by blocking outside noise.

Dense Vegetation

Dense vegetation acts as both a visual and sound barrier. Trees, shrubs and vines increase the silence of your garden.

PERSONAL TOUCHES

Decorate and customize your garden according to your personal tastes.

Spiritual Symbols

You can increase the energy of the area by adding spiritual symbols such as Buddhas, stones and wind chimes.

Personal Objects

Add personal objects that bring peace and meaning to your garden. These objects can make your garden more special and peaceful.

A garden designed for silence and calm can improve both your mental and emotional health. You can transform your garden into a peaceful haven with elements such as the right area selection, use of natural materials, water elements and comfortable seating areas.
