Modern
A minimalistic approach with clean lines and shades of greys, blacks, browns and greens are just some components that are necessary to create a contemporary design for your outdoor living space. Incorporating natural elements such as fire, water, wood and stone are also crucial elements for a modern garden feeling of sophistication and style. Using metal accents is also a way to add a little industrial design to your project.
The easiest way to create a contemporary living space is start with a clean slate and add very little at a time. If you don’t want to start from scratch consider what you can do to already existing plants and furniture. Freshen up the appearance of your plants a trim and consider adding a dark topsoil or mulch. Clean up the furniture and maybe even change any fabrics to a solid neutral color
Uniformity is key when it comes to contemporary. Try mixing shapes but keep it uniform but lining up the different shapes or placing them in a continuous pattern that is obvious to the eye. If you want a little more drama in your space try adding the same color throughout for plants flowers and materials to keep it all consistent.
