This is a collaborative post

A colourful home that is packed full of interesting and unique pieces is always a treat for the senses. Many of us are passionate about creating the perfect interior to reflect our style and taste. But the outside of the home is often forgotten. 

Garden makeovers are out of many people’s comfort zone. Knowing where to begin with a garden transformation is often the biggest barrier. However, it doesn’t need to be difficult. You can create the perfect garden makeover pretty easily. You just need to know where to start. 

If you’re hoping to create the colourful garden of your dreams, take a look at these tips to get you started. 

Choose a Colour Scheme

Just like inside the home, choosing a colour scheme or theme and then sticking with it is a great way to begin. Coordinating your colours will help to maximize visual impact. Plus, it means you can get more impressive results with minimal effort. Think carefully on the shades that you feel will work well together. Picking a main colour and then introducing some contrasting colours will help keep things interesting.

You could even choose a colour scheme that works well with your home’s interior. For example, if you have a conservatory, you can make it flow out into your backyard seamlessly with a cohesive colour scheme. It’s an ideal way to bridge the gap from inside to out. 

Get Painting

Take inspiration from your home’s interior and unleash your painting skills outside. There’s loads of areas in your garden that can be brought to life with a pop of colour. 

Painting fences and garden furniture is the easiest way to bring colour to your backyard. But you don’t need to stop there. If you don’t already have a garden shed, now is a great time to get one. Having a shed makes it so much easier to keep your garden looking tidy with everything stored away. Plus, it also gives you something else to paint! Choose from the best Shed Bases for your new shed and then paint it, and it should look great for years. 

Pick Your Plants

You don’t need to be a gardening expert to plant a backyard filled with colour. Simply pick the colours and types of plants that you want to include in your garden. Next, pay attention to the required positioning for the plants. This could be in direct sunlight or in a shaded spot. Then, ensure you plant it at the right time of year. It’s best to keep hold of the seed or bulb packets, too. This ensures you will always have the care instructions for your plants.

Add the Final Touches

As with outfits and interior design, it’s the finishing touches that create the perfect garden. Choosing colourful pots and ornaments is an excellent way to add some extra vibrancy to your garden. One last finishing touch that always looks great is lighting. Add outdoor fairy lights and lanterns to really complete your colourful dream garden.
