A well-groomed front yard helps to frame your home and prefaces the interior inside, providing an initial welcome. A well-organized front yard design and landscaping should complement the natural terrain of the land and enhance the general theme of the home. If your home decor is modern, keep this style outside, too. Clean lines, earthy colors, natural materials, a minimized use of divergent colors – this is what you need for a modern front yard. Want some examples? Here they are.
Large Planters
Very prominent among modern front yard designs are the large planters, and the larger, the better. Shapes are basic – round, square, tubular, or conical. As for colors, go for something contrasting – if the backdrop is neutral, use black, if it’s dark, go grey, tan, white and other light shades. Grow some statement plants in large pots to make your front yard bold, better create an arrangement of mismatching plants for a more modern feel, and even if you have growing plants and blooms already, you may rock potted ones, too. Create a whole stylish arrangement of oversized planters of different shapes that are united with their material or color.

No-Flower Garden
Very common to modern front yards is the absence of flowering plants – it gives the front yard a more laconic and minimized look. Don’t be afraid that you’ll get a boring space – play with species, textures and colors: you may easily find various shades of green, grey and even red among non-flowering plants. If you still want some blooms, choose more modern and smaller ones to line up the path and perhaps to plant in your oversized modern planters. Get inspired by the beautiful ideas below!
