Choice Materials Lavish: TlME AND money are two major factors to take into considetation when designing your garden. Only plan a garden that you can afford to make (and, incidentally, that you can comfortably afford to maintain) in a realistic timescale.
The joy of gardening is that it suits every pocket. Landscaping a small area with choice materials lavish materials and lavish, mature plants is expensive; by contrast, using inexpensive materials, propagating as many plants as possible, and being prepared to wait is the best way to develop a fine garden on a tight budget.
The choice materials lavish of plain or figured textiles. There can be no fixed rule as to when figured or plain materials should be used for overdraperies. Patterns unquestionably produce a gay effect; plain materials are more restful. The choice materials lavish of either is a matter of i ,ste. Visual fatigue and monotony should both be avoided, and perhaps the different rooms in the house should be treated with varying materials in order to introduce the variety that is necessary for good decoration. A rule that is followed by many decorators is to use plain drapery materials in rooms with patterned walls, and vice versa. Draperies should always contrast with the Wall in some manner; if pattern is not used to foil a plain adjoining surface, contrast can be introduced by color, tone, or texture. A certain amount of interest and variety is always obtainable by trimming draperies with color-contrasting fringes, borders, or edgings. Valances and draperies may also be made of different materials.
