Do you have a small backyard and you find it hard to arrange it? Having a small yard doesn't mean that you should limit the design in your space. Plan it well. Here are bright ways to make your small backyard look bigger:
Plan the space
The key in making your space look bigger is to plan and organize it well. Avoid clutter. Plan ahead what you need to put in your small backyard. Define the area. Separate a play area from the dining or lounging area. This makes the appearance of your small backyard bigger.
Break it into zones
As mentioned, you can create various functions for your backyard by segregating it or adding built-ins. Arrange your furniture to separate the area for dining, mingling, lounging, and cooking, according to Houzz.
Extend indoor space
"Is your kitchen too small? Do you need a bigger family room? Why not do that outside?" Architect Carson Arthur said. "With the development of outdoor technology, anything inside can now be done outside."
Create an impact
A simple pergola can give a small backyard an impressive vibe. You can also make use of Arbors to create a view. You can also place small trees and shrubs.
Utilize the color well
BHG recommends using wise landscaping ideas by placing bold colors such as bright flowers in front of your garden. The lush green garden can be placed after making it look larger.
Vertical gardening
Plant herbs and veggies or lush flowering vines in vertical surfaces in your backyard. Vertical gardens soften the boundaries and can make your backyard appear larger than it is, Bob Villa says.
Pick the right trees
Choose trees that grow in height than those that eat up space. Great choices are columnar evergreens and dwarf varieties of shrubs that are thinner and taller.
Terrace landscaping
Using levels such as terraced landscaping can make a small space look bigger. You can separate your dining area from the sink. Terrace can be used for planting flowers or any plant while the lower level can be utilized as benches.
