Garden Design: How Color Palettes Create Moods and Transform Outdoor Spaces

A UK garden designer, Lee Bestall, recently shared his expertise on creating emotionally resonant garden spaces using contrasting color palettes. In a recent project, Bestall used two distinct schemes. One side featured calming pinks and reds, creating a restful atmosphere. "The combinations you choose can completely change the mood of a space," Bestall explained. The other side used a bold yellow and purple palette, adding vibrancy. Bestall noted the importance of zoning different moods through planting, "creating a garden that evolves as you move through it." This approach creates a dynamic and engaging outdoor experience, showcasing the power of thoughtful garden design.
