The art of outdoor space

Designing a patio - or a garden is a bit like designing a living room or a park. It’s all about space, and how you use it. At first, you have an empty space with nothing inside. Then you add plants, statues and other decorative items to fill space and make him feel like a warm, comfortable .. But wait! You do not want there to be filled with things. So it would be confusing, not what you want. What you want is a balance between space and decoration. The real question is how to achieve this balance?

Things Spread evenly, but boring is a space to enter the eye can not focus on anything in particular, does not occur. It is much better for your plants and decorations in the cluster group, so many items at once to see, in a friendly group, with an empty space between the creation of diversity. In this way, the eyes of your visitors can move easily and conveniently from one group to another - each has a distinct character and the empty space between outlines its unique nature.

Try each plant, statue, plaque or accent other regarded as a distinct personality, and gather in groups they can complement and relate in a pleasant way, place two small flowering plants on both sides at a greater distance, or place a small statue of a palm tree and the vine - the possibilities are endless and are limited only by your creativity and imagination!
