top 5 ways to add colour in your garden

Plants can be used to provide a wonderful array of colours in your garden. This isn’t the only way to add colour and interest.  Painting exterior garden joinery adds flashes of colour, especially in the winter when there is an absence of vibrant flora.   All our products are available ready painted using our extremely durable exterior satin paint.  We offer a colour match service on all our bespoke projects, and have 11 standard paint and stain options in our ready-made range.

To assist you with planning your garden design, we have compiled a list of our top 5 ways to introduce colour into your garden and get the most out of your planting scheme:

1.    ACCENTUATE PLANTING COLOUR SCHEMES

Consider using painted trellis as a backdrop to your planted beds.  By thinking about what colours complement or contrast with your planting you can create interesting and attractive areas within your garden, whether they are large or small.

2.    CREATE A FEATURE

Painted planters can create a striking feature in your garden. Used on a patio or terrace with plants of varying heights and colour can add a beautiful focal point to any outside area.

3.    CONCEAL AN UNSIGHTLY OBJECT

Many gardens have objects that you may want to conceal.  Whether it’s an oil tank, dustbin or swimming pool pump we offer a large range of bespoke solutions that can be used to hide them in a practical yet attractive way.  All our products can be painted to blend into your garden, or can even be used to create a feature themselves!

4.    BRING A GARDEN FEATURE INTO FOCUS

Using a pergola, arbour or unique seating can create an attractive feature or focal point in your garden. Combined with some clever planting  complimented by one of our exclusive paint colours, you can create definition, interest or secluded areas to relax and enjoy your garden.

5.    CREATE DEFINED AREAS

Distinct areas can be shaped  in your garden using a number of different garden design techniques. Decking can create  an attractive and functional place to entertain.  We offer a range of seating and barbeque products to complete the look.  Perhaps you are interested in constructing some unusual seating around a fire pit our bespoke service makes all this possible.  Slatted panels are an ideal way to divide areas and offer varying levels of privacy to suit your needs.  Imaginative use of painted panels can create the perfect atmosphere in any setting.
