4. First consideration - which materials
If all the ideas you've seen are overwhelming, then think first about the materials and design that will suit the setting. Brick, wood, wood-effect plastic, or metal are all possibilities. And is everything to be angular or curved? Either can look good, but a mixture doesn't always look right.
Colours too, are important, with Cuprinol's and Sadolin's many shades available to transform wooden structures. Metalwork is usually finished in black or white: black is good for unobtrusive plant supports, blending into backgrounds, whereas white stands out in the garden.
