When you start choosing colorful plants and flowers to incorporate into your landscape, it is important to take some time to think about how they will look on a large scale. Consider what each hue will look like when set against the sky, the desert, and the rest of your exterior design. Creating a color scheme on a bigger scale helps you ensure that all of your smaller areas of color come together perfectly.

You can add color in more ways than by just planting flowers. Choose colorful outdoor accessories such as throw pillows and seat covers that continue your color theme onto the deck. You can even choose colorful pots, stones, or bricks to use in a pathway that runs through the landscaping to continue the visual effect throughout the entire outdoor area.
