In this blog we talk all the time about the power of contrast in decorating or landscaping. If everything inside and outside of your home feels the same then it can blend together and can lack real impact. In the past, we have talked about adding color (this is the contrast most commonly used in landscaping), different style mugs and soaps, and changing the sight lines of your landscaping. All of these techniques are a great way to grab someone’s attention. However, there is another way. You could add texture to your design. Adding wood or metal to your landscaping or indoor decorations is a great way to create a focal point for your design. At Mankin and Sons Gardens, we have a vast selection of different showstoppers for you to choose from.

Add Texture To Your Design to Create a Focal Point

Wood

You may have noticed these amazing oversized rocking loveseats in the retail section. These seats are awesome and they are the perfect fit for any outdoor living space. When placed outside with the backdrop of your lush landscaping or your beautiful home, these rockers really pop and make a great statement. If they are a bit too big for your liking, you may want to check out the hand painted signs. These oversized signs look homemade (if you have a great artist in your family) and yet are a great conversational piece. No matter your style, wood is a great way to add texture to your design.
