Choosing Colour & Effect Creations for Your Garden - May 30th, 2006 at 10:17 AM
The colours you choose for your garden change the look of your home, either indoors or outdoors.... Just some friendly suggestions to add a splash of colour and to create your perfect aura or effect ....
Note: If you're not too familiar with coordinating colours, using the aid of a colour wheel is a huge help. Pictures should be available for you to view online should you need a visual.
Using colours can create an effect, aura and mood from calm to vibrate and everything in between, here are a few colour tips I like to use:
Colours adjacent (or neighboring) to each other create a Harmonious effect:
...and...
Remember, if there is a particular effect that you love, keeping within the same effect is ideal; mixing too many different effects together might run the risk of your garden becoming too "Busy" or "Cluttered" ultimately taking away from the whole space you wanted to create.
I love colours; they create moods, auras and "moments" you can capture in a flower or your ENTIRE garden, I hope these tips will help! Take Care & Happy Colouring!

Using colours can create an effect, aura and mood from calm to vibrate and everything in between, here are a few colour tips I like to use:
Colours adjacent (or neighboring) to each other create a Harmonious effect:
- Greens and purples create a very restful, peaceful and calm effect.
- Gathering whites, blues, soft pinks and soft purples will create a subtle and soothing effect.
...and...
- Yellows and reds create a stimulating, exciting and warm effect.
- Gathering oranges, reds and golds together will create a hot intense, vibrant effect.
Remember, if there is a particular effect that you love, keeping within the same effect is ideal; mixing too many different effects together might run the risk of your garden becoming too "Busy" or "Cluttered" ultimately taking away from the whole space you wanted to create.
