Using Color To Decorate A Garden

While there are several decor ideas you can get from this patio garden, I'll first mention adding color through elements like this green door. Color has a large influence in garden design and is where you have an opportunity to create mood and contrast with surrounding or even existing elements and factors. It's also an opportunity to change colors depending on the seasons or holidays.

The flooring pavers are a huge factor in the decor and atmosphere of this garden. In any garden and especially patios and courtyard gardens, the flooring should be given a lot of consideration as part of the design. In already established gardens and landscaping, existing floors won't give much room for redecorating but will offer some contrast for coloring other elements such as the green door.

In this courtyard patio, given the opportunity to change either the wall color or the door color, I would try to make the smaller objects work with the dominant wall color. Besides, rustic naturally old looking walls like these are hard to replicate without the help of professional decorators.
