In sculpture, empty space is as important as the material itself. I bring this principle to garden design, viewing landscapes as living sculptures. Negative space directs focus and enhances form. How to use negative space effectively: * **Open Gravel Areas:** Expansive raked gravel beds create breathing room and highlight featured stones or plants. * **Strategic Pauses:** Design areas with minimal planting to give the eye a place to rest. * **Framing Elements:** Use hedges or borders to define open spaces, drawing attention to what’s inside. * **Water Features:** Still pools of water create expansive, reflective negative space. Mastering negative space adds elegance and intention to your garden's design. Save this for a mindful approach to your landscape! ✨ #negativespaceideas #gardendesignideas #minimalistgardeningideas #emptyspace #intentionaldesign #landscapeartistry #zenlandscape #visualharmony #gardenfocus #outdoorstyling
