Garden
I love the look and ideas for front and back yard - everything except the purple flowers
Play with opposites. White planters contrasted with dark stone hardscaping can be a powerful punctuation point in a garden design. This trio shows off verdant arum lilies. In their position right beside the windows, they can be enjoyed from inside the house too, linking exterior and interior. The uplights are also an idea worth copying to show off foliage plants to their best advantage.
Follow the architecture. This colorful planter display takes its cue from the backdrop of chimney pots, echoing the architectural features but adding statement color that ties in with the wooden decking. Get the look with a grouping of three planters — or even five in a large space — to avoid the formality of symmetry and create a relaxed outdoor area.
Pack a punch. Red and green is a scrumptious natural combination — think strawberries, poppies and red berries nestling amid glossy green leaves. The designers of this yard exploited the powerful pairing with tall planters and cascading foliage, plus lush grass planted below. If you’re copying this idea, make sure your version isn’t lost against the backdrop. Opt for tall planters (these reach halfway up the fence) and fill the entire width of the space.
The planning of so many elements, the natural feel with the splash of color that extends from the well thought out kitchen. The idea of indoor/outdoor space. Library by the kitchen.
