In the area, whatever it is, big or small, should not be more than four-five, and better than one-three accents. Moreover, the size of these elements should not be proportional to the size of the site: on a very small area it is more appropriate to create a major accent, otherwise the garden will look "flat". Yes, and in the overwhelming majority, the emphasis is quite noticeable, not a miniature item. Place the emphasis where it will be noticeable. For example - on the background of a gazebo or flower bed, on the border of the garden zone or on the front lawn, which is visible from all the garden points.

For example, applying the similarity, you can make a more expressive beautiful bending of the track, duplicated by a chain of garden lamps. Or emphasize the round flow of the flower garden, turning on it a ball in addition to flowers. As for the contrast - let off the textured, "monumental" plant by planting graceful cereals. Well, the expressive, original large container with flowers will emphasize any part of the garden.
Stylistic dominants are very different. The main thing is to adhere to one direction.
