5 Minimalist Garden Designs

Neutral Color Schemes

Create a calming minimalist garden with a streamlined aesthetic in your outdoor space. Modern garden design has changed dramatically over the years. Minimalist aspects can make the garden into a great space for living and entertaining, focusing on materials rather than plantings.
 
Minimalist designs have made the jump from interiors and taken root outside. Looking at your garden should not make you feel you have to grab your garden gloves and go clean up! The outdoor space should make you feel the opposite. A minimalist garden can be powerful and beautiful without demanding too much of you in the way of upkeep and money. The outdoor space usually includes only a few clean pieces of furniture with not many ornaments and details. If you have a modern or contemporary architectural style home, a minimalist garden can be a natural outdoor extension of your interior look.

Clean Lines & Restricted Plantings

Minimalist gardens have become popular with those who prefer order, with simple straight lines and restrictive planting, combined with the benefits of low maintenance. Paving ground with polished concrete, using wood, metals, or artificial tuff in a minimalist gardens needs to be simple and straightforward. This type of garden is an excellent choice for a person who works long hours and/or travels frequently and prefers a clean, smart, and low maintenance garden.

Neutral Plant Foliage & Flowers

Although plantings are not the main focus of a minimalist garden, still consider the type of plantings you will need to integrate. The minimalist garden incorporates neutral plant foliage and flowers to fill in the gaps. The color white, chartreuse, gray, brown, and black, are all neutral colors that can be utilized in your outdoor spaces to achieve the look.
