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 decorative 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.
