This month I am joining forces with the #30DaysWild campaign connecting with nature and learning about the wonderful world in which we live.
One thing I really do love is colour whether that be on the walls of the house or even in the garden. Just a pop of colour can brighten things up and make a place look less clinical.

When we first moved in the house looked like Austin Powers
home purple, orange and pink walls groovy baby. We decided to change the
colours to more neutral, natural tones such as blues and greens. As a result it
looks more homely and less likely to give you a headache.
With the weather warming up I thought it would be an idea to
consider how we can incorporate colour in the garden.
- Consider what types of plants/flowers you’d like to use and the colours they come in.
- Who will be using the garden? Play equipment comes in a range of colours to attract little ones.
- Paint can be used for making markers, giving the washing line a makeover and decorating old furniture.
- Many garden items come in a range of colours without the need to paint them.
- Perhaps the most subtle but most significant way in which to inject colour is to invite wildlife into your garden.
Enjoy being wild in the garden! Most of our garden colour comes from the flowers, but we have a few ornaments here and there!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds lovely.
DeleteWe have quite a colourful garden here too. Plenty of toys and a border of flowers but also we have some solar powered colour changing lights too which really help when it starts to get dark :) #BestandWorst
ReplyDeleteYour garden sounds like a joy to sit out day and evening.
DeleteI love colour in our garden beautiful photos #sharewithme
ReplyDeleteThank you Nigel
DeleteLove all the photos of the colour in your garden. Most of our colour comes from the flowers and from all the girls' garden toys but we are hoping to add a few decorations out there - windmills, butterflies and things like that which will also add some colour to the garden.
ReplyDeleteThank you. They sound great. Do send some photos.
DeleteAhhh how lovely, we have just planted a colourful flower bed and I have bunting in the garden and a variety of ornaments to try and inject a bit of colour :) Thanks for linking up! #bestandworst
ReplyDeleteOooh I do love the sound of bunting.
DeleteLove to see a good sandpit! My little ones love the sand! Thanks so much for linking up to #sharewithme and hope you'll join in again xx
ReplyDeleteIt really was a lovely big sandpit for everyone to play in and sit around for story time.
DeleteI love a nice colourful garden. I have a combination of colourful flowers and ornaments :)

They sound lovely.
DeleteI LOVE colour in the garden! My preference is usually the cooler end of the spectrum — blues, purples, pink and white. So fresh and pretty. Thanks for linking up :) #HomeEtc — Caro x
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely colour palette to work with
DeleteLovely ideas. I've not got a garden, but make the most of my balcony with colourful pots of herbs and flowers. I agree that even splashes of colour brighten things up and are so cheery. #HomeEtc
ReplyDeleteOh I can imagine that looking very pretty.
DeleteYes mine needs some colour and texture in it - seeing as it is all new. Flowers and pots are such quick winners!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up #HomeEtc xx
Oh yes flowers and pots are great ways to introduce colour.
