It can be difficult to know what to do
with a small garden. The last thing you want is to make it appear even smaller
by filling it with lots of accessories. The good news is there are ways you can
make the most of your small garden, but the key is to carefully plan and think
about the features you really want.
Add
a little lighting
Lighting can be a great way to add the
illusion of space in a small garden. However, it can also be hard to get right.
Outdoor LED lighting comes in many different forms. If you want to add a
beautiful ambience to your garden at night, consider using LED solar lights
installed into the ground. You can use them along flower beds to highlight
flowers or you can highlight a path if you’d prefer. Both options can look
great, just be sure to space the lights out so they don’t appear cluttered.
Consider
a pond
A pond is something you wouldn’t
necessarily think about when trying to enhance a small garden. It’s mistakenly
assumed that ponds are only something that can be used in large spaces.
Providing you choose a small pond, it can really enhance the space and create
quite a romantic ambience.
There are other water features you could
invest in if you really don’t like the thought of maintaining a pond. Small
water features for example provide tranquillity to a garden. You can sit out
and listen to them trickling as you close your eyes. It’s a great way to relax.
Change
your patio doors
One way to completely alter the
appearance of the garden is to change your outside door. Timber
patio doors are a great investment as they create a country-style,
cosy design. The warmth of the wood creates a welcoming vibe and captures the
eye.
Try
to blur the garden’s boundaries
Instead of highlighting the boundaries
of your garden, try to blur them instead. This really helps you to give the
illusion of additional space. Climber plants will work perfectly against walls
and fences.
It’s not overly difficult to make the
most of a small garden. You just need to remember not to highlight where the
garden starts and where it ends.
