HOW TO BE BRAVE WITH COLOUR
Stylist at Dobbies Garden Centres Rebecca Stanton shares expert advice on how to use colour in your outdoor space:
✣ GO BOLD
Yellow pops against greenery. Use a spectrum of tones in the same shade to bring the look together.
✣ TEXTURE AND SCALE
If you choose one colour, a variety of textures and heights will add interest. This could be a range of plants or by adding cushions to outdoor furniture.
COLOUR MATCH ✣ For a holiday at home vibe, mix apricot, reds and soft pinks. Black accessories and charcoal furniture will create a contemporary feel.
✣ COMPACT SPACES
Garden shelves are a huge Insta trend. Paint plain pots in yellow, planting them with herbs for a stylish outdoor #shelfie!
✣ FRESH FLORALS
The garden is your fifth room. Adding fresh flowers to your table will make dining al fresco extra special.
