• Gazing balls: If you don’t have a gazing ball in your flower garden, you are missing out on an opportunity to accentuate the light in your lawn and add vibrant color. Many gazing balls are blue in color and bring a bit of the sky down into your flower bed. 
• Doormats: Depending on the exterior color of your home, you might be able to add an indigo doormat to your mix and bring more color to your front porch. Blue is trending, but it is also a happy and inviting color perfect for entryways.
