SPACE IS AT A PREMIUM FOR MOST OF US, SO HERE ARE MY TOP TEN TIPS FOR GARDEN DESIGN FOR THOSE SMALLER OUTDOOR SPACES.
2. COMPARTMENTALISE
Create your very own secret garden with hidden areas and cosy hideaways. Divide your garden into sections, using bamboo screens, trellis or walls of foliage and decorate each area with different plants and garden furniture. These are perfect for hiding small seating areas and comfy garden getaways.
Ornamental grasses can be ideal for softening the appearance of barriers and will appear to give your divided gardens more depth at the lower levels. Go for delightful grasses like Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’ and Stipa tenuissima (Mexican feather grass).
This will make it feel bigger, because you can’t see everything in one go. Even in a small space, something like an arch will create separate garden areas.
3. PAVE DIAGONALLY
Paving laid squarely can make your garden look smaller than it is and with a simple trick of the eye, you can increase the visual size if your garden.
Paving
Lay slabs on the point so they are in a diamond shape to give the optical illusion of a bigger garden,.
Or, to make use of mixed and broken slabs, lay out a topsy-turvy garden for great use of slabs of any size or colour—like diagonal paving, this can give the illusion of a bigger space.
Go for light-coloured paving, like ‘Sun Grande’ from the Pavestone ‘Discovery’ porcelain range, or ‘Sable’ textured paving in the sandy shade of ‘Apollo’.
These types of paving will open up your garden, while giving it a contemporary style.
