MINIMALIST ROOFTOP GARDEN INSPIRATION ON A BUDGET ALONG WITH BUILDING TIPS

Hello Peps,

Home is a place to unwind and refresh your mind from life's burdens and problems. That's why it's crucial to make your home a peaceful and comfortable place. To achieve this tranquility, people often create spaces or areas for meditation and calming their minds within their homes.

"But, what if you live in a densely populated area with limited space, how can you create a space to calm your mind?"

Ah, that's a great question!

Indeed, the land within your home's boundaries may be limited in terms of width, but it's not limited in terms of height, right? Therefore, especially for those with limited land but a desire for a peaceful space, it's a good idea to utilize the rooftop of your house as an additional space for relaxation.

Of course, I don't mean you should just hang out on the roof. Instead, you can build a new space like a rooftop, for example. Building a rooftop like this won't require a significant budget, especially if your roof is already plastered or level. The rooftop you plan to create as a place for peace should also be furnished with items and necessities that enhance its beauty. For instance, you can fill your rooftop with decorative plants, creating a rooftop garden!

Speaking of rooftop gardens, this can also be a solution and alternative for those who want to have a garden but lack a large enough yard. For recommendations, let's take a look at some minimalist rooftop garden concepts that can be built economically!

If you want to create a mini garden or flower garden on your rooftop but prefer something unique, a rooftop flower garden is an excellent choice. Apart from being different from most gardens, a rooftop flower garden will give your rooftop a beautiful and aesthetic appearance!

2. Rooftop Vegetable Garden

The second recommendation for a rooftop garden concept is a rooftop vegetable garden. For those who might think it's impossible, you can indeed turn your rooftop into a mini vegetable garden. It's a great way to make use of an empty space, and the vegetables you grow can be consumed as well. It's healthier and cost-effective!

3. Rooftop Ornamental Plants

Another rooftop garden concept you can consider is a rooftop filled with various ornamental plants. As the name suggests, this rooftop is adorned with your collection of ornamental plants. However, keep in mind that rooftops are exposed to strong sunlight, so it's advisable to choose ornamental plants that can withstand the heat and are easy to care for.

Those are various rooftop garden concepts you can choose if you want to create a space for refreshing your mind while at home. However, before you start building, here are some essential things to consider and apply to ensure your rooftop garden is constructed well and comfortable. What are these important things?
