The house wall offers unexpected design potential in the garden. Instead of viewing it as a bare facade, it can be transformed into an eye-catcher with trellises, carefully selected plants, and stylish metal wall decor. This guide provides inspiration and practical tips for transforming your house wall into a beautiful work of art.

Why the house wall deserves more attention

An attractive house wall design enhances your home in the long term. It connects architecture and nature, frames the house, and is an eye-catcher that you will enjoy time and time again. It also creates additional habitat for insects and birds.

Green accents: Trellises as natural facade greening

Trellises are multifunctional design elements. They serve as climbing aids for your favorite climbing plants and ensure that your house wall is covered in greenery. High-quality metal trellises give the house facade structure and also have a temperature-regulating effect: In summer, a green facade has a cooling effect. The combination of modern metal design with lush greenery creates a particularly attractive contrast.

Which plants are suitable for a house wall?

The choice of plants should be tailored to the individual site conditions. Light conditions, growth habit, and care requirements play a crucial role. The following table provides an overview of popular climbing plants:

Plant type Location Characteristics
Clematis Partial shade to sun Lush blooms, diverse colors, ideal for trellises. Different varieties offer a wide selection of flower shapes and colors, from delicate pastels to vibrant purples. Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus) Sun to shade Fast-growing, bright autumn foliage, easy to care for. Forms dense walls of foliage and is ideal for larger areas. Wisteria (Wisteria) Sunny Fragrant flower clusters, requires a sturdy trellis. Grows vigorously and needs regular pruning. Ivy (Hedera helix) Shade to sun Evergreen, robust, attractive year-round. Provides good privacy and adheres to almost any surface.
Roses (Climbing Roses) Sunny Classic, romantic, diverse varieties. Require regular pruning and fertilization.

A combination of different plants creates a varied and dynamic facade greening. By cleverly selecting early-, mid-, and late-blooming varieties, as well as evergreens, you can ensure that your house wall is green year-round.

Artistic Highlights: Metal Wall Decor for Stylish Exterior Walls


The stylish

  • Natural Motifs: Leaves, vines, birds, or tree silhouettes create a connection between the house and garden. They reflect the surrounding nature and harmoniously integrate the wall into the overall picture.

    Whether individual elements or arranged in groups – Metal wall decor is an eye-catcher that works even without plants. The decorative elements can be arranged flexibly and adapted to seasonal design ideas.

    Combining Nature & Design: Creating a Harmonious Overall Look

    The combination of trellises, plants, and metal wall decorations results in a diverse and harmonious house wall design. The following tips will help you achieve this interplay:

    1. Create Contrasts

    The combination of the clean lines of the trellises with lush plant growth creates an exciting contrast. Delicate metal elements add further accents and enliven calm surfaces. For example, trellises with a rust patina can be combined with white clematis blossoms and dark gray metal objects.

    2. Use staggered heights

    Different heights create dynamism and depth. Trellises can be placed in the center and complemented by wall decorations or planters at ground level.

    3. Fine-tune the color and material mix

    A harmonious mix of colors and materials is crucial for a successful overall look. Cool metals look particularly elegant in combination with warm plant colors. Powder-coated trellises in anthracite, for example, harmonize beautifully with dark red berries or purple blossoms. High-quality materials guarantee durability and resistance to the elements. Conclusion – how to transform your house wall into a stylish highlight in your garden With trellises, you can transform drab house facades into a blooming eye-catcher. Trellises bring nature and texture to the facade, while metal wall decorations add stylish accents. The combination of both elements opens up a wide range of design possibilities.
