When it comes to contrasting your colours within your garden space, we know this can be quite tricky. Matching colours to your already permanent fixtures can prove difficult. We have laid out the top contemporary colour groups perfect for complementing different tones and furniture pieces to help style up your space.
Adding pastels
Complementing pastel colours together can look effective but can look a little ‘twee’ if not done correctly. We advise when adding pastels, particularly more feminine colours, to add an element of black to your colour scheme. Monochrome has become a massive trend within the interiors and gardening styling world, so where most people use to shy away from it, we find now more and more are adding small elements of monochrome contrast to their gardens.
Putting it in neutral
Neutral colours are extremely popular for both interiors and exteriors. This Scandinavian look has taken over many homes, as many have incorporated this modern style into their own living space. Adding creams and beiges to your garden can really brighten up an area, particularly those hideaway corners within a garden. Pairing a beautiful antique toned composite deck with rattan or bamboo furniture can help to create a minimalist design.
All the greys
Grey has become the go to colour for both interior and exterior décor. Known as the ‘grey trend,’ many homeowners have been seen to be using this colour and other monochrome shades into their homes and outdoor living spaces. Grey is a neutral tone and helps to create a calming atmosphere within your garden space. Because of its neutral tones, this colour tends to go with most other colours creating a blank canvas or you to work with. We find it pairs very well with other cool tones. We recommend freshening your area up with a more natural colours, using natural toned furniture and creamy, beige cushions.
Cool blues
Blue is a colour that suits very well in gardens, as it pairs perfectly with green, earthy tones. Blue matches well with navy, a darker blue tone, as well as lemon yellow, blue’s natural complementary colour. Blue would make a great colour to incorporate into your garden space adding a natural feel that works all year round.
Bright and bold
Should you choose to go bright and bold with their colour choices, we recommend using eccentric colours such as reds, oranges, and turquoise blues. This sort of colour scheme lends itself to a relaxed, holiday feel, creating an area outside that allows you to feel like you are closer to the beach.
Hopefully now you feel inspired by these examples and are set for using these colour themes in your garden space.
