Use before styling.
A garden should support everyday life. Routes need to make sense. Seating needs the right relationship to sun, privacy and the house. Storage, maintenance and access matter just as much as the visual concept.
Principle 02
Fewer materials used consistently usually create more calm than a collection of competing finishes.
Principle 03
Planting should contribute structure as well as seasonal change. The garden needs to hold together in the quiet months too.
The goal is not to make a garden look designed. It is to make it feel resolved.
