What color landscaping rock and flower colors would you recommend for a cream-colored home with blue-shutters?

happee asked:


We’re changing our red mulch to rock and are trying to figure out what color/type of rock would go best with our home. We’re also adding concrete edging and some more flowers (we’re in Minnesota). I’m so bad at this and would love some expert opinions. Our house is cream/linen with blue shutters and a “weathered gray” roof, which is actually dark brown looking.

We were considering lava rock pebbles (burnt red), Colorado sunrise stone (creams, whites, and browns), or Mountain Blend stone (mix with slight reds, tans, grays), but we haven’t really looked at places with a ton of selection and aren’t set on anything.

For flowers, I was thinking reds, yellows, and blues/purples; however, a neighbor had a mx of pinks, whites, yellows, and purples that looked cute and cheery.

Also, the edging can have several colors in it, so I want to tie it in with everything. Any suggestions?
HELP! Any advice is truly appreciated. The BEST answer gets a batch of 7-Layer bars sent to them.
If you want a picture of our home, I can e-mail it to you. I really will send some 7-layer bars to the person who has the BEST answer, meaning suggestions for rock and flower color schemes. I make awesome bars (or I can make cookies or brownies for you instead) This means a lot to us, so thank you!
