Farmstead includes the farmhouse and the building or area around it.
These days, many people have their own farmsteads.
They go there to free themselves from the busy routines and to relax themselves.
The area around a farmstead is covered with farms so there is no hustle and bustle in these areas, like in cities.
A person there can get the most peaceful environment to relax and enjoy him.
A peaceful environment with no noise pollution is really a blessing for a person and one can find such environment in their farmsteads easily.
Mostly landlords own a farmstead and they love to decorate the farmstead for their mental pleasure.
Decoration is an art to enhance the beauty of a thing.
Sometimes there is nothing fascinating in a thing but, it can be made worth seeing by decorating it with different things.
These things help to enhance its beauty.
A girl is a good example to take.
Mostly, many girls who are not that attractive but they play wonders on human eyes when they get makeover.

In any way, either internal or external decoration of your farmstead, it is must to do.
In past, there were many people who use to leave their farmsteads the way they were and never thought to utilize that area in a good way and make that area a well presentable place.
As the new generations keep on coming they thought of the different ideas to decorate that ruined area in the best ways they can.
It's a human nature that when he gets physically or mentally upset he tries to relax where there is no noise and pollution.
He finds such place a blessing in those moments.
Any kind of noise and pollution is damaging for a human mind.
So, to free himself from the noise of world he finds his farmsteads the best place to go.
But, if the farmstead itself gives a picture of devastated area than how will people get peace there? So it is very necessary to keep your farmsteads net and clean and most of all well presentable.
One more thing must be kept in mind that if you are not in the position to take care of the plants or animals that you are going to keep there than you must not keep animals or grow any plants there.
If you yourself can't do these job than, you must hire a person for these.
Either they are animals or plants, both need care and attention otherwise they are damaged.
A plant if not watered will not grow well.
An animal if not fed properly will not survive for long time.
So before considering nay of the external decorations mentioned above make sure that you are able to take good care of them.
Or the person you have hired for them is taking good care of them or not.
Keep all the points under consideration before taking any step because these animals are also creatures of ALLAH and need to be cared too.
