Being able to install gorgeous garden furnitures is ideal but it all
depends on the terrain, shape and size of your outdoor space.
Small gardens, in particular, need a delicate touch and a sympathetic
eye so we love the great use of courtyard space in this example, with
a defined patio area and separate greenery section. By keeping furniture
off the grass the space appears bigger while the use of trailing foliage
helps to blur the lines between lawn and walls. Lovely!
Small gardens can be little havens of peace and tranquillity when
finished in the right way. This is a great example, from Iara Kílaris,
with a circular decking area being complemented by round seating
and accessories. Surrounded by lush greenery and calm, neutral
coloured walls, the overarching sense of peace is undeniable and
we just love that vibrant orange that adds a fun pop of colour to
this lovely courtyard space. All you need now is a good book and
some great weather!
If you like plants but only have a limited amount of space to play with,
don’t worry about taking up valuable floor space with large planters,
consider a living wall installation! Giving you access to all of the benefits
of luscious greenery with less of the hassle, these walls offer even those
of you with the smallest of courtyards or terraces the opportunity to really
connect with nature and brighten up your outdoor space. You see, small
gardens don’t have to be boring!
If you have no garden outside why not give serious consideration to
installing small gardens inside your home? No, we haven’t gone crazy,
we just think that these amazing indoor green spaces not only look
phenomenal but offer access to the benefits of regular interaction
with nature. This example is particularly lovely, having been installed
in the usually dead space under a staircase. With a huge window in
situ, the trees and plants are flourishing and thanks to the low maintenance
foliage that has been selected, this is all play and no work!
Small gardens are a great way to showcase amazing foliage and box
shrubs, especially when they are manicured into eminently tactile shapes,
such as these ones. We love the use of flowing foliage alongside finely
clipped individual elements as it makes for such a dynamic and different
small space. The cosiness seen here is something that bigger gardens
can often lack, feeling vast and open, but we could imagine enjoying
warm summer days in this secret little nook.
Small gardens can be the perfect location for a safe and fun play
environment for your children, as long as everything is kept relatively simple.
This example has got it just right with perfectly manicured soft grass, minimal
plants and a sturdy swing set all working together to offer outdoor adventures
in abundance. By keeping this space unfussy and easy to maintain, it looks
bigger than it is but is enclosed enough to provide protection for your little ones.
