The work of French designer Philippe Starck is a great testament to this, as is the work of the French architect Jean Prouvé. Balance is also fundamental. We might add an accent of shimmer via a brass light fitting, but this will be offset by the rest of the decor.
Journey's end. This path leads through a stand of trees where only dappled light illuminates, and it continues toward a distant, sunnier spot in the landscape. By creating a walkway through the trees, a series of strong lines is emphasized and the low, L-shape bench becomes the natural focal point.
A room with a view. It's natural to want a point of view when we look through a window or door, but this exceptional home is so fully integrated into the landscape that it's hard to tell where the garden ends and the interior begins. Clearly, the multitrunk tree is the focal point of this environment, and the open-air architecture is perfectly sited to exploit the vista. Wow!
maybe pull the color into the planter and then repeat. If not the color here, a red? Art lessons begin with the basic rules of the color wheel. Red, blue and yellow are primary colors, while secondary colors are made of combinations of two primaries: orange (red plus yellow); green (blue plus yellow) and purple (red plus blue). Tertiary colors combine one primary color with one secondary color. Adding white to a color creates a tint; adding black to a color creates a shade. The primary palette of the vivid blue pool shown has another primary accent in the yellow-chartreuse Japanese maple tree, uplit for emphasis.

The uncomplicated shapes of this almost two-dimensional design could easily have been achieved by using collage design. The rectangles neatly balance one another and are integral to the larger landscape design. How easy would it be to move around cut shapes of green paper, rather than drawing the shapes on a plan, to get the feeling not only of their size and relationship to one another, but also of their mass within the design?
You can once again see how well the strips of foliage plantings, including the purple Heuchera, backed by the large block of mass-planted grass, complete this design. plus tree!
