1. Why Color Matters Outdoors

Color isn’t just about looks— it shapes how your space feels.

Light tones can make small patios feel bigger
Earthy tones blend beautifully with greenery and stone
Bold contrasts add modern energy and personality

A cohesive palette also helps unify mixed materials like wood, metal, and fabric. Besides visual effects, studies have shown that colors also play a pivotal role in our emotional and psychological well-being, as stated in garden design stories.

3. Tips for Choosing Your Palette

Start with your environment: Are you surrounded by greenery, concrete, or ocean views?
Pick a base color: Choose one neutral tone as your anchor (e.g., beige or gray)
Add 1–2 accents: Use pillows, rugs, or planters to bring in color
Balance warm and cool: Too many warm tones can feel heavy, too many cool tones can feel sterile
