Understanding landscaping terms such as form, line, balance, texture, etc. Landscaping with Curb Appeal- Better Homes & Gardens What makes this yard so appealing? The proper design incorporation of form, repetition, color, texture and contrast, among other things. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it might seem! Curving, flowing lines of turf amidst colorful blooms and contrasting textures of leaf shape all come together to create eye appeal. Plants flowing over the edge of the sidewalk soften the concrete, the beds on the right balance the foundation plantings on the left and provide symmetry, and everything is in proper scale for the size of the yard. This is an informal, cottage garden style of landscaping that matches the style of the house, a VERY important consideration. This home has formal landscaping that matches the style and lines of the house, but it is boring due to the lack of color and all of the shrubs having the same leaf texture. There are also no curving, flowing lines to direct the eye and there is a lot of turf with little landscaping, creating the image of a big, blank yard with little interest. You can see what the lack of curb appeal does, compared to the first house! Remember, the purpose of curb appeal is simple. It's ultimately about moving to the front door in a pleasing way.
