6 Tips for Using Flowers to Boost Curb Appeal
Unleash some flower power to increase your home’s curb appeal. There’s a method to leveraging all those petals to help your property bloom. Here are some tips to get started.
Buy a Colour Wheel |
Check out a colour wheel to help you understand how different colours relate to one another. Choose flowers with colours close to one another on the wheel for a more harmonious scheme. Alternately, colours on opposite sides of the wheel will yield a complementary colour theme. To really mix things up, choose three colours that are equidistant from each other on the wheel.

Use colour to “enlarge” your yard or garden bed |
A monochromatic colour scheme can help create a feeling of spaciousness because the eye is not interrupted by other colours. To mix things up, incorporate lighter and darker shades of the same colour. |
Highlight Favourite Features |
Have a fabulous front door? Draw attention to it by planting brightly coloured or white flowers around it. Flowers can be an effective way to accent the architectural features you – and prospective buyers – love. |
Use White |
White can be the most attention-grabbing colour in landscaping. White flowers and foliage serve as terrific focal points, they make other colours look richer, and create a sense of depth in a garden. |
Remember Green |
There are so many vivid shades of green to use when highlighting your home. Combining different shades and a variety of textures can add depth and excitement. |
Anticipate Changing Seasons |
Remember to plan for how the colours of the plants you choose will change with the seasons. Add some year-round perennials so your yard stays vibrant, even when flowers wilt in cooler seasons. |
