Have a small garden? Here’s a few tips for maximizing your outdoor space from @douglaslandscapedesign
.
From a design standpoint, small spaces can actually be more challenging than large, expansive ones. There isn’t a lot of room for experimentation. Your design has to be carefully honed and your plant choices made thoughtfully.
.
Take into account these 3 factors when planning your small space garden:
1. If at all possible, remove everything existing before trying to re-envision the space. Visualizing all of the possibilities is tricky for many people, and a clean slate goes a long way to being able to “see” all of your garden’s future possibilities effectively.
.
2. Small spaces are also often boring rectangles. Use curving lines to break up the rectilinear feel of your garden; nature never designs straight lines, and you don’t need to either. Curving lines evoke a naturalistic, softer feel that is pleasing and relaxing, as shown in the small curvaceous patio.
.
3. Texture is your friend. Contrasting textures create visual interest as well as movement in the garden. Think, grasses paired with succulents. The 2nd photo shows a whole lot of texture (as well as color) packed into a small space.
