Colour plays a significant role in establishing a serene environment in gardens. Soft hues promote calm, inviting lush greenery alongside gentle pastels or muted tones. These colours can soothe the senses and encourage a feeling of peace. Bright, vibrant shades often energise space but can be overwhelming if not balanced correctly.
Ideal seating arrangements for relaxation include clusters of chairs or benches that face each other to promote conversation, or a hammock for a more laid-back vibe. Incorporating low tables can provide a place for drinks or books, while ensuring that the seating is spaced out to allow for personal space.
