Suggestions for monochromatic plantings: Black: Phormium 'Platt's Black', Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens', Phyllostachys nigra Gray: Perovskia 'Blue Spire', Santolina chamaecyparissus, Artemesia 'Powis Castle' Acid green: Euphorbia schillingii, Euphorbia polychroma, Alchemilla mollis See more plants with gray and acid-green foliage. Unify Your Scheme With Grouped Planters Use a cohesive color scheme, both in the choice of containers and the use of a restricted palette. The containers should be contemporary, with a clean, stylish finish.
Create garden harmony and unity by including numerous types of plants all in the same color, but with different shades and tones. Colors favored by designers include neutral grays and blacks, but some prefer more dominant colors, such as acid green, to contrast the neutral coloring of the hardscaping.
Or how about hanging paper lanterns? These colorful gems can be found for a song online or in a local Chinatown. The least expensive ones do not have lights inside, but if you are hosting a daytime party, they are perfect for adding color and ambience. For evening fetes, spring for lanterns that are battery operated.
Tuscan-style Patio. Here’s a Missouri take on Tuscan taste, with Shabby Chic–style furnishings congregating under a rustic beamed ceiling. A chandelier, wall sconces and candles assure plenty of lighting options to set the atmosphere, which is enhanced by baskets, plants and a telltale grapevine that meanders across the ceiling.
Classic Mediterranean - This Santa Ynez, California, home has a central courtyard complete with a tiled fountain, about as classic as it gets. The shade provided from all four sides of the house (plus the lush plantings) keeps the interior of the courtyard cooler, even when it’s scorching outside. In a space like this, you could set up small tables for dining on the stone patio or beneath the overhangs close to the house.
Moroccan Tiled - In this traditional Moroccan courtyard, pattern upon pattern of hand-painted tiles are layered to stunning effect. Want to bring this look home? Tile is a natural complement to white stucco — try mixing two to four different patterns in the same colorway. Finish with a boldly patterned rug and low-slung, lounge worthy furniture
