Having a garden, even a tiny one, is a luxury, especially in the city center. If these very small spaces are not always easy to arrange, it is nevertheless possible to make them settings of conviviality for your well-being and your relaxation.
Do you want to arrange your plants and furniture within your little corner of paradise? It's possible ! To do this, it is necessary to optimize the space, play on the volumes and make the right choices. Here are three expert tips to help you do just that!
If you crave greenery and nature, it's totally possible, even in a mini space! Place the plants on the fence walls and at their feet. You will thus create a small green setting while extending the visual space. Plants can easily adorn the walls. Just choose climbing ones like ivy, vines or wisteria, or even hang them in pots. You will hide the defects or the unsightlyness of the walls while dressing them with an elegant vegetal facing. In addition, you keep space in the center of the garden for your furniture or to allow the children to play in peace.
At the foot of the walls, place your plants and shrubs. They will hide the demarcation between the ground and the fence, which will enlarge the visual space of your garden. Indeed, the less visible the fences, the more the space seems limitless! Ideally, vary the heights and volume of your plantings to create an even more natural plant effect.
Your garden is very small, so it must be furnished accordingly in order to avoid overloading it unnecessarily and making it an unsightly clutter. If you prefer to take advantage of your garden to eat there, choose a suitable table and chairs. Indulge yourself with elegant furniture, and prefer a table with an extension so as not to clutter the space when you are not receiving anyone.
If your garden is more for relaxation, install a nice living room with sofa and coffee table. There are also combined furniture to satisfy all desires. Indeed, some garden rooms combine high tables and benches or sofas to comfortably enjoy every moment.
Whichever formula you choose, invest in quality furniture. Small gardens rarely have the possibility of hosting a shelter to overwinter tables and chairs. Resin and metal are strong, but will still require protection to remain durable. As for the wood, which is natural and warm, it must be of high quality and fully protected during winter and periods of rain.
To distinguish the dining or relaxation area from your green garden area, you can opt for a small terrace. In wood, tiles or stone, wide or the size of the table, rectangular, square or round, it can elegantly isolate your dining area visually while blending harmoniously into your garden.
If you prefer to keep a lawn floor, it is also possible to separate the spaces by means of plants. Choose them preferably low so as not to create a visual break, and arrange them so as to form a mini-screen between your dining area and your green garden. Do not hesitate to form curves of greenery, more harmonious than straight lines. A garden divided into little nooks and crannies always looks bigger than it really is!
