Most of the apartment buildings do not have a spacious yard. However, if you are one of those who are lucky enough to have a small outdoor space, here are some tips to make it a better space for your home.
If you have a space for a small table and some chairs, you can just cover them with a few coats of spray paint. Use different colors for an electic display.
Mirrors are not just for indoors. Mirrors, if placed against the wall on your patio, can make your outdoor space look more spacious because it reflects natural light.
One of the underrated elements that can transform your yard is lighting. Stringed lights and candle lanterns can provide a cozy glow for your outdoor dining area. Just arrange them using your artistic touch and it will add beauty and brightness to your tiny deck.
Grouping short and tall plants in a small space can keep the eye moving up and down, thus creating an illusion of bigger space. You may choose plants with colorful flowers or just the leafy ones for a relaxing effect.
Planting herbs like parsley, rosemary and mint can convert your small garden into a kitchen extension. Aside from the aroma, you can also save some bucks by not having to buy it anytime you need it.
You may repaint your front door according to the season. It will definitely give a whole new personality to your house.
Two of the most outdoor problems are lack of storage and seating. It is wise to use some beautifully painted vintage trunk or wooden chest and some water proof cushions. Put this on your patio and you'll be hitting two birds with one stone. You may also choose metallic paint to add some glam factor to your patio.
