When it comes to garden design or even yard design, many people forget about the colour aspect and end up with a very well designed, yet plain (boring) space. Colour is a fantastic way to add a sense of excitement to your outside space, and it isn’t just restricted to summer time; your garden can look magnificent throughout the entire year. So if you desire a beautiful garden just follow these 5 fantastic tips...

Fantastic Flower Beds!

Perhaps the most obvious way to add colour to your exterior space is to use flowers! As you are probably aware there are thousands of flower species that bloom at different times throughout the year. With a little bit of planning you can make sure that your flower beds or containers are blooming with colour in every season.

Banish the Dark Shade!

To create a sense of drama in shady spots, such as beneath trees and large hedges, use plants like creeping Jenny or Japanese forest grass. You could also try planting evergreen plants around these areas so that they don’t look dull and lifeless – plus they will remain in colour all year round.

Bright Buildings

If you have a shed in your garden, transform its look by painting it! – You could also paint the fence. You can use any shade that you like; create a charming, vintage-inspired aesthetic by using pastel shades or if you want to make a sensational statement, why not use bold shades such as red, yellow or orange?

Accessorise, Darling!

Now, one of the most fun ways of adding colour to your garden is to accessorise! Head to the garden centre and purchase some funky garden gnomes or cute animal features. For something a little classier, choose a sculpture, statue or even a fountain!

50 shades of...

Using a selection of shades of one colour in particular is a beautiful way to create a sense of harmony in your outdoor areas, together with a splash of excitement. So if you have one particular colour that you just love – choose that... Although you may not be so successful with black!

Of course, add the finishing touch with high quality contemporary garden furniture; this should be a little more subtle in design to ensure that it complements all the colours that you have added in a variety of other ways.
