How to make a beautiful little garden?
Looking for ideas to make a small garden beautiful?
Contrary to belief, small gardens offer the opportunity to be creative and create a beautiful space according to your wishes. But even if your outdoor area is limited, there are plenty of ways to make it more spacious and less confined. You just have to get creative with the layout of your outdoor space.
Here are some tips to make your small garden an oasis of peace:
Divide the space into zones and make a plan
The appearance of your small garden will become cluttered and untidy if your garden furniture, plants, and decorative objects are arranged "haphazardly".
It is essential that you first draw up a plan for your garden to ensure that it meets your needs and maximizes your space. In this way, you will be able to identify the different types of spaces and their functions: the dining area, the garden, the playground, and the rest area.
Invest in functional objects
To save space and money, decorate with functional items. The best decoration should not only look good but should also serve a purpose. Functional decorations include armchairs, ottomans, tables, and lamps, which not only enhance the space but are also widely used.
Use light to highlight it at night
Good lighting helps identify paths, showcase plants, and make everything more comfortable at night. You can use lanterns, poles, LED strips, sconces, or string lights. Prefer lighting that takes up very little or no floor space!!
Use walls and fences to your advantage
By growing vines along walls and fences, hanging pots and planters, and growing plants in growing frames, you'll take advantage of all the opportunities that vertical surfaces provide.
If your walls are dull and dreary, you don't need to completely cover them with vegetation: just paint one of them with a bright or light color, which will improve it and give your small garden a feeling of lightness. Once painted, you can embellish this wall with hanging pots or planters to match the style of the rest of your garden.
Make different levels
A small, completely flat garden can be raised in certain areas with different types of containers. This allows giving relief even with a small garden.
It is also an opportunity to enrich the soil with the addition of good soil. Elevating a few areas allows for better light exposure, faster growth, and better access to plants.
Create a sense of space
One of the best ways to make your small garden feel less confined is to create a sense of space. To do this, you can use plants with large leaves, such as banana trees and palm trees. When laying out your plants, keep the foliage towards the center of the garden and place the flowering plants towards the edge. This will create the illusion of a larger space between the edge of your garden and the driveway or patio. Another way to create a sense of space in your small garden is to use reflective materials. Mirrors and decorative pieces hanging from the roof, such as bird feeders and chimes, will reflect light and make your garden appear larger
