For a sleek and contemporary look, use an old ladder as a screen in a modern minimalist garden. The ladder's clean lines and simple design will complement the minimalist aesthetic. Hang geometric-shaped planters with minimalist plants, such as succulents or air plants, from the ladder. The combination of the ladder's weathered wood and the greenery will create a striking contrast. This garden design is ideal for those who prefer a clean and uncluttered outdoor space with a touch of industrial charm.
