The only thing missing on the sunset-colored pavers of a Spanish-styled abode is the clip-clop of a famous black horse and its

Hemingway once said"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your
life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." Much like the gardens of Versailles, French-inspired gardens are a feast for
the eyes with topiaries, lavender, and cypress as the table settings.
that marry the interior with the exterior. You get the picture.

Using COLOR to Set the Mood in the Landscape

PINK

Innocent, Soothing

Coordinating colors:

RED

Excitement, Romantic
Coordinating colors:

red

pink ladies

grey timber wolf

black iron

These pink cushions bring a playful, feel-good


vibe under a somewhat overwhelming patio
cover. The bright fabric and black furniture draw
the eye into the soothing seating area.

The color of this wall makes a bold statement


creating excitement and intrigue. At the same
time, the privacy and seclusion it affords are
perfect for a secluded, romantic space.

GRAY

ORANGE

Energetic, Enthusiastic

Practical, Reliable

Coordinating colors:

Coordinating colors:

racing orange
smoke

azores

burnt carmel

The practicality of simple gray tones need not


stay muted. When accented by a warm color
such as the carmel walls of this house, gray
offers the reliable basis for nearly any design
scheme.

The entry way to this residence is bright and


inviting. Its welcoming feel gives visitors a
sudden sense of energy and excitement for
what lies ahead.

BLACK

Authority, Sophisticated

YELLOW

Happy, Optimistic
Coordinating colors:

Coordinating colors:

amarillo

black iron

ravishing red
satchel

The black iron speaks volumes about what this


patio is all about. It conjures up a powerful
impression in a sophisticated yet fun
entertaining area.

BROWN

Elegant, Stability

GREEN

A bright and positive entry such as this cant


help but brighten your day. The long, narrow
corridor to the courtyard gets visitors excited
and optimistic that they wont be let down once
they get to the end.

Refreshing, Relaxing

Coordinating colors:

Coordinating colors:

saddle brown

woodland green

myan gold

adagio

The solid, earthy appeal of brown in a landscape


helps bring connection to the garden. The size
and warmth in the varying tones of brown, gold,
and blue in this fountain add a simple elegance
to the soothing sound of water.

Natural and rejuvenating, the color green


freshens a space. It adds just the right amount
of color for this relaxing, mid-century retreat.

PURPLE

Dramatic, Motivating
Coordinating colors:

BLUE

Calming, Serene

Coordinating colors:

mystical grape

franklin lakes

veranda view

antique rose

The dramatic impact of an entry filled with


purple salvia adds a lot of curb appeal.
Contrasting with the bright green tones of the
landscape, the effect is inspiring.

The calm, at-peace feeling of a stroll through


this garden is achieved by planting design. The
blue agave and grasses create a serene
environment suitable for reflection and
relaxation.
