Monochromatic Antics
Why not try something new? Stylish and sophisticated, monochromatic gardens remind us of the artier side of tourism, exploring beautiful public gardens and high-culture estates. After all, if your staycation is in a place with a lot of natural beauty and history, it’s almost a crime to sunbathe the whole time (not that we’d blame you, if the weather’s nice!)
Monochromatic gardens are popular for the same reasons that monochrome interior design is: patterns appeal to us, and relying on values over colour to create shapes lets you block out interesting, eye-catching scenes in any space, indoors or outdoors.
One of our favourite monochrome manifestations has to be the “moon garden”, which takes advantage of the way light bounces off of white flowerbeds and furniture, making a garden almost glow under direct moonlight. Gorgeous! Consider matching your flora to your furniture for a classy one-colour vibe.
