How can I make my garden appear larger?
You can make your small garden appear larger by following some visual tricks, clever design, and strategic planting. Here all you have to do:
-
Create Depth with Layers: Arrange the plants in layers, with shorter ones in the front and taller ones in back to add depth. Winding paths create the illusion of more space than straight ones.
-
Use Vertical Space: Grow climbers like jasmine, clematis, or ivy on walls and fences to draw the eye upward. Vertical surfaces gardening expand scope of growing plants in less space.
-
Strategic Plant Placement: Use larger plants or shrubs at the edges to create a sense of enclosure without feeling confined. Avoid overcrowding and make your garden more spacious.
-
Color Choices: Placing light colored flowers like white, soft pink, pale yellow and foliage with pale leaves can make a space feel airy.
-
Use Mirrors or Reflective Surfaces: Mirrors in garden can create the illusion of a larger garden. Reflective surfaces like water features can also work.
-
Furniture and Planters: Choose foldable or built-in seating furniture to save space. Use raised beds or miniature planters to maximize planting area without overcrowding.
-
Division of Space: Use low hedges, trellises, or different flooring materials to subtly separate areas and make it more to explore.
-
Blurry Boundaries: Plant climbers along the fences to create a more natural, flowing feel.
