Are you looking to renovate your garden? Or perhaps you just want to add a bit of color to your backyard because it’s looking a little plain? Whatever the case is, choosing the right flowers to add to your flower beds and pots can be surprisingly difficult, especially if you’re doing it for the first time. Unless you have a lot of experience working with plants or even colors (such as being an artist) then you’re probably not going to know much about picking flowers for a flower bed. So to help you out, we’ve put together a couple of helpful tips to give you a better idea of how to choose the right flowers.

One of the simplest ways to pick the right flowers for your flower beds is to simply choose a color that you like. There are so many different flowers in the world that trying to search them up via name alone probably won’t reveal much information. It’s for this reason that we tend to group flowers by their different characteristics–color being one of the most popular ones. So just do a simple Google search for red flowers, purple flowers, blue flowers, and so on. This will give you a list of different flowers that you can choose to add a splash of color to your flower beds. But choosing colors isn’t just about what your favorites are–you also have to think about color theory. This is something that can take a bit of time to get used to, but it’ll teach you a whole lot about colors and how they interact with each other. For example, complementary colors are usually color combinations that tend to be bold and stand out. For instance, red and green tend to stand out because they contrast each other, making them easier to see from a distance. Color also has the power to affect our mental state. For instance, green colors promote a sense of growth, freedom, and nature. On the other hand, red is full of excitement and passion. It can be difficult to decide on what your favorite colors are, so doing a little research and keeping track of all the wonderful flowers you’d like to add can be a good idea.

Remember that unless you plan to buy flowers and plants from a store, you’ll need to purchase a bag of seeds and sow them in the right season. For instance, tulip bulbs often grow the best between March and May, but they can often survive well into April as well. This will give you a lot of beautiful color in your garden around these seasons, but do keep in mind that the lifetime of flowers like this can vary drastically depending on environmental factors. The best way to know what plants are best to sow in each season is to follow a guide. Knowing when to plant flowers can be tough, especially for a newcomer to home renovation and gardening. However, once you unlock that information, you’ll find that there are plenty of different flowers to plant during each season.

Choosing a theme can be tricky, especially if you’re not sure on what your favorite colors are or the type of emotions you want to evoke in your visitors. However, it’s vital that you try to pick a theme and stick with it as closely as possible. This will help you make more informed decisions in the future, allowing you to stick with a cohesive theme that will be reflected throughout your garden. Themes are most commonly based on different colors, but you can also have themes based on countries. As with before, it’s a good idea to do a bit of research before you set out to buy seeds or look for inspiration. This will help you locate a theme that you enjoy and also give you ideas on how to build it in a similar way. Save all of the best ideas into a scrapbook or online album, and look back at them from time to time.
