In small gardens, robust colors in plants can make spaces feel larger. Utilizing vertical elements like tall walls, columnar trees, or living walls enhances the sense of openness. To maximize space, areas that are shaded can be minimized with clean finishes like gravel. Comfort and luxury can be added with reflective surfaces, high-quality furniture, and strategic seating areas, ensuring that every corner serves a purpose for beauty and functionality.
Robust and deeply saturated colors in your flowers, shrubs, and small trees can actually make your space appear brighter and bigger, says Parker, the landscape architect.
Drawing the eye up is vital in a small space: If you have an open sky, this adds an expansive feeling. Do not fill up your entire sky and horizon view with a large tree.
Maximizing every inch of usable space is key, whether you're going to DIY or enlist a landscape design firm.
Reflective surfaces can supply a sense of luxury and gloss, much like good jewelry does on an otherwise simple outfit.
