Landscaping design involves arranging different land features to achieve both practicality and aesthetic beauty. Whether you’re planning to research for ideas or come up with your own customized landscaping design, achieving the best design should be guided by the following principles.
A House is a Key Part of a Garden
A house in most cases is the most dominant structure in any garden. This means all your landscaping ideas, designs and plans should start and end with the house. The best approach is to always work from the house as you move outwards.
Incorporate Color
Color is an important landscaping element as it brings a dimension of life into a space. Find a way to creatively use warm colors and cool colors to achieve the desired effect. Warm colors such as orange and red make objects appear closer, while cooler colors such as green and blue are favored for creating perspectives as they draw attention away from you.
Unity
Unity aims to create repetition and consistency of a landscaping design. Repeating various elements such as décor and plants is aimed at bringing unity in a landscape design. Consistency creates unity by fusing together different landscaping elements in order to come up with a theme.
