A Rustic Garden Blog

Sometimes getting started is the biggest problem. Whether you are designing an outdoor patio, garden or even revamping your living spaces inside your home, the hard part is the deciding what to do first. 

My sister needed to decorate her lake house large bedroom. Furniture was not the problem we have lots of antique cabinets to choose from. Color was the obstacle. The room was carpeted in a neutral color so we looked at area rugs to place on top the carpet to add color and she picked a design that fit her style. I would advise you to pick your accent that has at least 3 colors. Her rug was cream, golden brown and blue. The area rug’s brown color succeeded in tying the country furniture’s wood tone as well the curtains. There was a touch of blue in the rug that helped her choose accent colors for the bedding  which created unique home decor throughout. 

Since the room was large she picked a small 5’ x 7’ rug to be placed adjacent to the bed to form a new sitting area. The entire plan came from one rug. 

Your garden plan might begin with a fountain, statue or the color of your favorite flower. Whether you are working in your home or garden it will all come together once you find the first point of interest.
