Wooden garden paths will easily fit many styles: zen, rustic, modern, contemporary, minimalist, seaside and so on. Here are some ideas that may inspire you.
Wooden Paths
A wooden path is a gorgeous idea, just consider the style of your outdoor space and what touches you wanna add. If it’s a modern garden, go for a sleek and minimalist wooden pathway surrounded with lights, pebbles and maybe boxwood. If you love rustic style, you may try a wood slice path, a whitewashed wooden path, and a rich stained path will require enough maintenance and restaining but it looks very chic. If you know that the soil is damp, you may create a raised DIY wooden path for your garden. Whitewashed wooden garden paths are a nice idea for rustic and vintage-inspired spaces, you may just go for weathered wood and it will look whitewashed after some rain and sunshine. Combine wooden pathways with wooden decks to make your space more cohesive and elegant, light up the whole construction with lights going along the deck and path.
