Be bold with your colour choices and have some fun. Colour adds interest and vitality to a space and can uplift and energise you
And there is no right answer when it comes to adding colour to your outdoor space, if you are feeling confident then mix and match to your hearts content. If not stick with one main accent colour and repeat it in various ways throughout your space.
Poppy and Carrot are really popular starting points. They are bold and bright and easy to match to other red or orange accessories. Create a designer feel by mixing with white, steel grey or storm grey. Or continue along the bright theme by adding Lemon or Grass Green.
Visit the Colour page for more inspiration or just start adding colours to your colour board to create your own scheme. The key is confidence, by layering colour in various elements you create a theme. And using colour doesn't necessarily mean using bright colour. You can create interest and depth in a space by using neutral or natural colours.
Earthy tones such as Willow Green and Nutmeg layer beautifully against a traditional garden backdrop. Accessorise with rustic lanterns and galvanised elements to create a traditional garden vibe. Or use Willow or Nutmeg as your base colours then add Carrot or Fjord Blue for a pop of brighter colour.
