'Make it happy and fresh!' Designers explain how to choose the perfect color scheme to elevate your backyard

How long do you spend choosing colors for your living room? Or your bedroom? Or kitchen? All the samples are ordered and hours are spent choosing between the blue with the slight grey undertone or the one with the green undertone. And then for months these swatches live on the walls so you can spend time with these colors before making the ultimate decision. Point being, we spend a lot of time choosing the colors for our indoor space, but do you take the same consideration with your outdoor spaces?

Choosing a color scheme for your backyard is what makes the space. Just like a paint color in your home, it dictates the vibe and style of the garden. And just as you would choose a color based on the size and aspect of your rooms, the same should be done when choosing colors for your yard.
