Arranging a country garden: warmth and charm with teak and acacia
The country garden style stands for warmth, cosiness and timeless charm. Authentic materials such as teak and acacia, natural tones and a cosy atmosphere turn every garden into a true place to come home to. Discover how to realise this timeless style.
What is the charming country garden style?
The country style breathes authenticity. It is the warm tones of teak and acacia, the soft natural colours, the blooming borders and the cosy details that create the atmosphere. A garden that welcomes you and invites you to stay.
Teak wood: the premium material for the country garden
Teak is the most durable wood for outdoor use. It naturally contains oils that protect the wood from moisture and insects. Teak dining tables and chairs are pieces for life — they become more beautiful over the years. They grey to an elegant silver-grey, or you can treat them with teak oil to maintain the warm honey colour.

Acacia as an affordable alternative
Acacia is a hardwood alternative to teak, with similar warmth and appearance. Slightly softer in colour, but equally suitable for outdoor use and considerably more affordable. Ideal for those who want the country look without the premium price of teak.
Layout of a country garden
A teak dining table as the centrepiece, surrounded by comfortable chairs or a wooden bench, is the foundation. Add a cushion box for practical storage and an extra seating spot. A wooden garden bench by the entrance or a rocking chair in the shade give the garden extra character.
Classic planting for the country style
The plants complete the story:
- Roses — classically country, preferably climbing roses against a wall or pergola
- Lavender — scent, colour and a haven for bees and butterflies
- Hydrangea — abundant flowers in soft pink, blue and white
- Herb garden — rosemary, sage and thyme in wooden planters
- Perennials — loose borders give a spontaneous, country-style appearance
Mood lighting for the country evening
Warm white LED garlands, ground lanterns and candle holders in wood or iron give the country garden its enchanting evening atmosphere. Placed along paths and in borders, the garden becomes a fairytale in the evening.
