For many of us, any excuse to decorate our garden while the sun is out is very welcome. You might, therefore, be looking for some inspiration for the reclaimed garden items that you can add to help accessorise, adding something new and interesting to your outdoor space.

Here at Cawarden Brick & Tile Company Limited, we are the reclamation experts, so we’ve put together a list of a few of our favourite garden items to give you some ideas this summer.

Statues

A popular choice, statues can add a lot to your garden. They have been fashionable throughout the ages for many different styles of garden, which means reclamation yards have all different kinds to suit your taste.

They are purely decorative and can be great features to tie your other decorations together.

Troughs

Another popular and substantial garden item, troughs can be practical and decorative and also come in a wide range of different styles to suit your taste. Maybe you just like the look of them, or maybe you’d like a rustic planter. Either way, they will definitely add a new dimension.

Rather than the standard concrete or metal options, you might also consider a reclaimed sink to a similar effect. They can be intriguing decorations and make the perfect planters, and they are all unique, coming with their own patina and character.

Benches and Furniture

The feature of many of our blog posts, benches and other garden furniture are the perfect accessories to add form and function to your garden. As is true with the other reclaimed items on our list, they can be as unique or as simple as you see fit but definitely help in rounding your garden off and tieing things together.

Whether you just want a bench to look out onto your outdoor space, or you are a fan of al fresco dining and want somewhere to eat on warm summer evenings, garden furniture works excellently.

Birdbath

Birdbaths have been popular for decades and still have a place in all gardens. They can be decorative and elaborate or simple and stylish, but regardless, they are a great centrepiece and can bring more wildlife into your garden.

Even if you’re not an avid birdwatcher, you can still appreciate the visual cues that a birdbath adds to your garden and make the most of some an interesting garden item for diverse decoration.

Stones

There are many different kinds of stones that are popular for decorating gardens. They are substantial and unique in their construction and often have a wealth of history to make for an interesting talking point in your garden.

Whether you are after a sharpening stone, a straddle stone, or something different entirely, reclamation yards are the perfect place to look for interesting stones for your garden.

Other Popular Options

There are a lot of other garden items that are popular for adding an extra dimension, and trying to boil things down to a shortlist is almost impossible. Two of the favourites that we have yet to mention are lamp posts and post boxes.

Reclaimed and vintage lamp posts add an air of history and can be a very interesting way to bring light into your garden. Whereas, post boxes are often used as decoration and also practically in front gardens to set their space apart from the crowd. Either are great garden items, and they can also work well together if you want to create a consistent theme.

The Finishing Touches

When it comes to reclaimed garden items, there is something for everyone and every style of garden imaginable. There are plenty of stylish ways to add practicality to your outdoor space and even decorations that will simply encourage you to spend more times outside.
