USE MATCHING COLORS
Usually, landscape designing is the next step after interior decoration. In such a case, you may consider using mixed patterns of complimenting colors for the interiors and the garden surrounding your house. It is a great idea to use color schemes that compliment the interior of your house since this creates a feeling of unity and accord. The harmony that gets created will ensure a well-coordinated look to your décor scheme. It is a good idea to use plant colors that seem to ‘match’ with the furniture colors or maybe the wall colors in the house.
USE OF SEASONAL COLORS
It is a wise idea to use seasonal variants of plants sparingly. Such plants bloom only once a year, so barring that time, your garden will appear to be a very dull place otherwise. The best way to avoid such a situation is to use a mix of seasonal as well as perennial colors in your garden. The seasonal plants will lend a unique beauty to the garden once a year while the perennial plants will maintain the look of the garden. This will prevent the garden from getting a dull look in different seasons.

What sets apart a landscape from the others is appropriate use of color combinations. Color plays an extremely significant role in the art of landscaping. An improper use of colors gives the impression of visual confusion and demolishes the harmony of the overall design. On the other hand, if proper colors are used, it will go a long way in turning your landscape into something visually appealing to the creative eye. It is thus essential to use colors appropriately. You may think that you have a creative eye, but landscaping differs from the other art forms in many ways. For one, it entails the use of live elements to complete the design. It is virtually impossible to change the colors of plants, but you can definitely choose the correct colors. It is wise to consult a color wheel for appropriate blend f colors. You may even wish to consult an expert for the purpose of understanding the color theory better.

Landscaping could be thought of as a form of art that requires a keen sense of aesthetics and artistic eye on part of the landscaper. In effect, a landscaper could be thought of as a designer, except that he specializes in designing gardens instead of clothes or houses. Creative gardening has been a practiced art for centuries together. A garden lends beauty to the house; in fact, it makes a house a home.
Different cultures evolved their unique signature styles of designing a garden. The first evidence that indicated the importance of ornamental gardens in the olden days was the paintings in the tombs of Egypt built in the year 1500. The paintings depict lotus ponds bounded by rows of plants like acacias and palm. The other primeval gardening style is thought to be of Persian origin: Darius the Great reputedly has commissioned the designing of the “paradise garden”.
