Take Care When Choosing Colours
• Spring is the time to decide on a coordinated colour scheme for house and garden. Those with white houses are lucky: white has always been a good background colour for bright blooms. Houses painted in neutral tones rather than pure colours also allow wider choices in flowering plants. Sometimes small houses are “cut up” with
too many contrasting materials and colours, and in such cases simplification is called for. A drive through the suburbs will soon demonstrate the results that sometimes stem from combining too many or clashing colours. A green house or surface, for instance, often does not mix well with the different greens in lawns and foliage.
