Columns and bases are not only load-bearing elements in architecture, but also artistic design elements. Columns create symmetry, proportion and elegance - especially in the garden and around the house. Imagine: you have a very special flowerpot that you have filled with your favorite plant. It should be placed next to your front door. On the floor? Not at all! Give your beloved plant pot a place of honor and simply place it on a column, base or pedestal. At gartendekoparadies.de you can choose from a variety of different columns, bases and pedestals in style - and your favorite piece will be shown off to its best advantage. This also works well with various sculptures from gartendekoparadies.de, figures or spheres. You can also present these perfectly if you give them height and space with pedestals, bases and columns.

There are three classical orders of columns that originate from ancient Greek architecture and were also used in Roman architecture, the Renaissance, and the Baroque eras: The Doric order: simple and massive, with a smooth shaft or only light grooves. The Ionic style, which is known for its simplicity and is often found in temples. The third order of columns, the Corinthian order, is recognizable by the spiral volutes (snail-shaped decorations) on the capital. These columns have slimmer proportions and a decorative base. The Corinthian order is the most elaborate of the three orders, with richly decorated capitals, usually with acanthus leaves. This order represents wealth and elegance. All columns of the classical order can be decorated with fluting - grooves that run lengthwise or in a spiral.

Columns are a high architectural art. The important components of a column include: The base is the lower part of the column and provides stability. The shaft is the vertical part of the column. In Greek architecture it is often fluted. The so-called capital is the upper part of the column, which takes the weight of the part above and is decorated. A very famous example of these extraordinary columns is the Parthenon in Athens: a temple with Doric columns that has an outstanding significance in Greek architecture. The Pantheon in Rome is a Roman temple with Corinthian columns, famous for its dome and magnificent columns in the entrance area. In the Temple of Karnak in Egypt there are enormous columned halls (hypostyle halls) that are even older than Greek or Roman architecture and are covered with hieroglyphs.

With the pillars, bases and pedestals you can upgrade your terrace, garden or balcony in just a few simple steps - a lift-up, so to speak. Simple example: you want to offer the feathered friends in your garden a cool drink or a little bath and at the same time protect the little birds from the neighbor's cat: put a beautiful bowl of water on a representative pillar. This way you are guaranteed a happy view of the bird world and at the same time you provide for blackbirds, robins and tits, for example. The Nature Conservation Association points out that birds also need drinking water in winter. In this case you should change the water regularly. A bowl or a beautiful pot can also accommodate plants. The combination of tall plants together with plants whose shoots grow downwards looks particularly representative. For example, plant tall grasses with ivy.

The columns and pedestals from gartendekoparadies.de are perfect for presenting statues or sculptures. Ionic columns with volutes like in the temples of Zeus or Athena, stable floor slabs as foundations for statues, elegant round columns with relief-like elements and bases with antique elements such as lion heads, acanthus leaves and fluting - there are no limits to your imagination. It is entirely up to you whether you stick to the style or like to combine different styles. With antique, imaginative and yet also very realistic elements from classical architecture, you can design your very own personal garden paradise. Columns and bases are also independent decorative elements and are particularly impressive when arranged in groups. For example, under a lush tree, in the foreground of a pond or as a boundary within a garden.
