Vibrant patio furniture can add a vibrant splash to your backyard. Choose shades that suit both your personal taste and the colors in your home for an integrated look.
Bold primaries such as red and bright blue create an exhilarating environment in your backyard oasis, sparking passion and creating an energetic vibe. Earthy hues such as dusty rose and ochre offer calm atmospheres for lounge areas while accents like terra-cotta vases, woven jute rugs, succulents provide balanced decor that’s soothing yet stylish.
Monochromatic Palettes
Color enthusiasts love monochromatic palettes for their high contrast look and relaxing effect, yet creating them requires careful thought as if colors don’t correspond precisely enough, the effect can appear flat and boring. Here’s how it can be accomplished:
Starting with one color and working your way up or down the saturation scale using tints, shades, and tones is the key to creating depth and dynamism in a design when placed next to each other. Select the appropriate hues for your project when choosing colors to work with.
Tints are lighter, less saturated versions of your base color; shades are darker and richer versions; tones fall somewhere in the middle; they’re frequently used for wall and furniture coloring purposes.
As a designer, it can be easy to be drawn in by vibrant hues that catch our eye, yet these may not be suitable for corporate events or business-related designs. A monochromatic palette can come in handy here as it can tone down louder shades while maintaining a professional image.
Monochromatic color schemes can add movement to a space when combined with textures and patterns that add movement, especially if their hues vary within their saturation levels.
Tonal color palettes work beautifully across many decorating styles, from traditional to contemporary. A bold hue such as emerald green can often feel overwhelming in large color blocks; however, when combined with other tonals like those found here on Boldhouse Creative’s tabletop it becomes the perfect balance and creates an inviting toneal green that feels fresh and welcoming.

No matter if you prefer modern metal furniture or minimalist aesthetic of wicker, an earthy color scheme will enhance any patio.
