Have a small garden? Feel that its size is restricting your idea of converting it into an ultimate space? Get ready to have your small simple garden converted into a classy looking area with the tips given below. You can implement the ones which you find are interesting and suitable to be added to your garden. Here are some small garden ideas and tips for decorating your garden and turning it into a truly relaxing and scenic space.
Plan Before you Start
There are many ways of beautifying your small garden. But the ideas and designs must be chosen, so as to suit your needs. Basically, consider what you use your garden for? Will you be using it for outdoor entertainment, relaxing, exercising or you don't have any plans to sit outdoors and want to purely beautify it so that it embraces your house? Accordingly you can add the necessary elements. Remember that while you add the necessary decor, it must be so that it also works as a beautifying element for the garden.
Add the Privacy Factor
Before you start adding the other elements, work on making it a perfect garden of your house. Fencing it properly will make it a well-defined space with boundaries. You can choose a fence design that can add more privacy. Deciding the height of fencing rightly is also important. In case you have a common fence, which is just not happening, you can simply cover it up. All you need is garden trellis and a few climbing plants. Fix the garden trellis against that common fencing and train the climbing plants to grow up and cover that 'not-so-attractive' common fence.
Have Classy Garden Furniture
You can choose from a number of types and varieties available in garden furniture in the market. The popularly used garden furniture is that in wicker or cast iron. Cast iron furniture is one of the best ideas on a budget. Basically these have sleek rods, curvy, designer structures and open frame which makes them suitable for small gardens. These do not occupy much space and can be easily moved whenever required. A set of 2-4 chairs and a table, depending upon the available space is a good idea. You can have 2 chairs and a table and further add a fireplace as well. This set up can occupy one corner. Even if you won't be spending much time here chatting or relaxing, you must at least have a single relaxing chair here.
Garden Beautification
While beautifying your garden, you might consider having various garden ornaments and implementing interesting yard art. Make sure that you do not add too much of garden ornaments that will occupy a lot of space and make the garden look even smaller. One of the ideas is to add a few large and bold items instead of adding too many small pieces. If you have an asymmetric garden with a narrow area in between, you can have a small bridge here and add rocks below and around its base. You can also consider having a small pond. One of the best ideas is to have a fountain at the center and grace it with an amazing base structure. Apart from these ideas for a small garden, you can also consider having one of the various sculptures to play up the area. Be it human figures, animals, large vase, pots, or designer sculptures, these are sure to add ultimate style to the small area.
Apart from the green grass covering the garden, do not add too much of plants. A theme garden is a good idea to opt for. You can consider having a flower garden, with single type of flowers and/or single colored flowers spanning the entire space for an ultimate look . Having a garden mirror against the fence is awesome, to add a finishing touch to the area. This will also make the garden look larger. Finally consider various outdoor lighting to illuminate these in the best way and also make it look larger and give it a grand appearance.
