Small garden ideas (front and back). Check some inspirations!

There is not much room for extra chairs for the guests? Don’t worry - use the raised beds in your garden but make sure they’re clad in stone or wood. As we all know, stone is a material that heats up quite evenly and gradually gives off accumulated heat. That’s why using it in the garden is a wonderful idea - features made from this element won’t be too hot to touch, even during very sunny weather, and the time spent in the garden will be much more pleasant. As a result, any low stone walls that border flower beds can also be converted into a place to sit. You can put in some throw pillows as well to add extra comfort and cosiness, and you’ll have a perfect sitting area for your guests.

Use wall as a key point of the garden

Stone and bricks can be used not only as a stone cladding for the garden area but also as a material for the front and back garden walls. This solution is especially important if you value your privacy and want to separate yourself from neighbours and passers. What’s more, stone and brick walls can act as perfect storage space for your greenery - you can fix on them shelves or hooks and place there some smaller pots with favourite plants and flowers. With that move, you will clear up precious floor space and have even more room for the sitting area. And thanks to the exceptional durability of the material, you can be sure your favourites are perfectly safe.

Optically enlarge your garden

One of the additional tricks that will make your garden look more spacious is the right colour combination. Try designing your space with light hues which can optically enlarge the space. Tones of white and beige are often favourites. You can also play a little with a perspective and decide on a wall that has two hues. The higher part of the fencing should be lighter and the lower, darker - this way, you will create an illusion of extra height and depth. You can paint the existing wall your preferred colours or pick different shades of stone to create that effect.

Arrange your plants vertically

The next small front garden idea involves the new placement of your greenery. As we all know, there’s only so much horizontal surface in tiny gardens. That’s why you should choose to stack your plants and flowers vertically. Invest in flower pots with several levels, use the windowsills, utilize racks, tables and even industrial-looking cabinets to show off your greenery.
