Garden Decor: Contrasting a single pattern with a limited number of solid colors requires thought and planning. The size, style, and colors of the pattern all need to be selected carefully so they harmonize with the rest of the garden decor. When it comes to combining two or more patterns that match or contrast with one another, the challenge is that much greater. However, by following a few guidelines, you will quickly see how to use a variety of patterns to create a strikingly successful garden decor¬ative scheme.
If you have a sunless room, you may wish to enliven it with light tones, while a sunny room can tolerate a range of darker tones. Consider, too, the major items of furniture, and the carpets and curtains, that the garden decor must complement. If you already possess a dark-colored set of furniture and want to create a bright, spacious atmosphere in your living room, consider light tones for the rest of the garden decor. If, however, you have pale carpets, the room will appear warmer with the addition of deep-toned, rich-colored furnishings.See Also Garden Statues:ONCE YOU have decided on the framework of your garden statues, add the decorative details such as arches and arbors, patio furniture, statues and other outdoor ornaments. Resist the temptation to have too many things, otherwise your garden statues will look fussy and cluttered. Whatever Ornaments you are using, they should be placed so as to appear the inevitable outcome of the garden statues design, rather than just an afterthought.
Most urban garden statuess must have some form of physical barri around them, partly to keep the world out and partly to the garden statues in. A boundary also defines the limits of a garden statues and p* a backdrop for displaying plants and other features such as statues and ornamental outdoor furniture. Most forms of boundary can be used to support climbing plants of one sort or anol a decorative effect; you can even grow a climbing rose or clematis up a hedge.
On The Other Hand See Flower Garden:You might think that cutting fresh flowers both for friends and for the homefront would quickly deplete our flower garden. Not so. Rather than denude various parts of our permanent flower garden to fill a vase, my wife and I have included an old Victorian idea in our garden plan: a cutting garden. We grow an abundance of annuals for color, plus a few choice perennials, all specifically grown for bouquets.
With this equipment, you will be able to produce those startling close-up pictures which, when enlarged by projec¬tion on a screen, seem to magnify the original beauty of the flowers. And these are the pictures which your clients cannot duplicate with their own cameras. They are the shots which will establish you as a flower photography specialist. The other pictures you have occasion to shoot, those showing garden layouts and pleasant clumps and clusters and masses of flowering plants, will take care The best sources of customers for your flower photography are the garden clubs and the flower clubs in your commu¬nity. If you don't know the flower clubs, get in touch with a florist for the information you need. |
