4. Choose Colour Carefully
4. Choose Colour Carefully (Image 4 of 6)
So, you've decided to add extra colour and life to your garden with colour - whether within the hard landscaping or by painting masonry. Which shade to choose? In a traditional space, you would ideally pick a colour that tones or blends with the natural tones of the surrounding area - so creams, pale blues, and greens. If you're going for a contemporary look, you can afford to pick a colour that contrasts with the natural surroundings - think greys, blacks, reds, even purple. Whatever you pick needs to be chosen to show off your plants. Not sure? Get a few lengths of lining paper, paint them in your chosen shade (or near enough) and place them around the garden to see what works and what doesn't.
