2. The Monochromatic “Jewel Box”
For an incredibly chic and sophisticated look, limit your color palette to one single shade. Using different plants that all feature the same deep purple or vibrant crimson hue creates a powerful, high-impact aesthetic. This approach removes visual clutter and makes your patio feel intentional, curated, and deeply luxurious.
How to Make
Select a set of containers in a single, neutral color—like matte black or slate grey. Fill them with plants that share a specific color profile, such as dark purple Heucheras, purple Fountain Grass, and deep plum-colored Coleus. The variety in leaf texture will provide depth, while the consistency in color will make the arrangement feel polished and high-end.
Things Needed
- Set of matching neutral-colored planters
- Plants with consistent color foliage/blooms
- High-quality organic fertilizer
- Decorative stone mulch for the top
