While we\u2019ve managed to overlook the shabby reality of a winter garden during the cold and miserable weather, spring is finally on its way and the promise of longer evenings and warmer days has us hankering for outdoor shindigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google searches for \u2018garden\u2019 began to grow from the 19th of February and will peak in May, as many of us turn our attention to outdoor spaces in the hopes of a new season refresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many of us, however, though we dream of entertaining in an oversized oasis, the reality is making do with whatever outside space we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully whether you have a baby balcony, a tiny courtyard, a petite patio or a dinky garden, there are some clever design tricks you can adopt to make it feel heaps bigger.<\/p>

\u201cAs the days gradually lengthen and we inch closer to spring, our thoughts turn to rejuvenating our outdoor spaces, particularly smaller gardens, which can be transformed into personal sanctuaries with a few thoughtful additions and design solutions,\u201d explain Jamie and Lou Graham, owners and interior design experts at Graham and Green<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From opting for flexi-furniture to going vertical with your planting, we spoke to interior experts for their easy decorating tips for a space that looks deceptively bigger and comes fully prepped for those sunny al-fresco get togethers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add in a mirror<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hanging a mirror in your home’s exterior will reflect sunlight and make your outdoor area feel more open, creating the illusion of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe strategic placement of an outdoor mirror serves as an excellent tactic in creating the illusion of a bigger garden, and when carefully placed, can reflect natural light and illuminate your outdoor space,\u201d Jamie and Lou explain.<\/p>

\u201cFor larger mirrors, consider propping up in areas with lots of natural light, to reflect across your garden. Likewise, position your mirror on the opposite side of a focal point, such as flower beds, or seating area to expand the perception of that space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more compact mirrors, they recommend considering mounting at eye level onto fences or brick walls to add dimension to your outdoor area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go vertical<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vertical space is hugely important in a small garden, where often you have more space upwards than you do outwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThink about growing plants on walls, training them upwards or hanging them from a structure such as trellis,\u201d suggests Jenny Davis, from Forest Garden<\/a>.

\u201cVertical structures that can serve multiple purposes are ideal, think privacy screening that can also provide support for climbing plants.\u201d<\/p>

Choose multi-functional fixtures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clever multi-purpose use of design features is ideal for outdoor areas that are challenged in the square footage department. Jenny suggests using ones that work for two different purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThink about storage under bench seating rather than free-standing garden furniture,\u201d she advises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRaised beds or linear planters that can also act as dividers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tables that extend to accommodate extra guests are another excellent option for small outdoor dining spaces.<\/p>

Opt for slim furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bulky outdoor furniture can make a dinky garden even more cramped. Instead, opt for small-scale seating with clean, narrow lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen working with limited outdoor space, choosing furniture that is sleek and slender can make a significant difference,\u201d advises Jeannette Hudson, furniture expert at Online Sofa Shop<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook for pieces that have a minimal footprint, such as folding chairs and tables. These can be easily stored away when not in use, freeing up precious space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep it light<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Light colours and materials can help create an illusion of openness and airiness in gardens or outdoor areas that are tight on space.<\/p>

\u201cOpt for furniture in hues like white, light wood, or metal, which reflect light and make the space feel more expansive,\u201d advises Jeannette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing to go neutral tone in the overall space doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t incorporate some colour, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven a tiny space will appear livelier with colourful accessories, such as pillows, cushions or rugs in multi-coloured fabrics, or hand-painted pots,\u201d advises Lee Heitzman, market manager at Trex<\/a> for the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWashing your outdoor entertaining space out with a bold colour can make a small area feel congested. Instead, choose natural and neutral tones as your backdrop \u2013 be it a deck or patio – to allow you the chance to add pops of colour that can flex with trends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrange garden furniture strategically<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It isn\u2019t just about the outdoor furniture<\/a> you choose, but also about where you place it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>The layout of your outdoor dining space plays a crucial role in how spacious it feels,\u201d explains Jeannette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlace furniture along the perimeter of the area to open up the centre and create a sense of flow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create visual interest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adding texture and depth to your outdoor dining area can make it feel more inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOutdoor rugs, cushions, and throws can provide warmth and cosiness without overwhelming the space,\u201d Jeannette adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minimise clutter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just as clutter can make your interior rooms feel smaller, the same goes for outdoor areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>Resist the temptation to overcrowd your outdoor dining area with unnecessary accessories,\u201d advises Jeannette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChoose a few statement pieces that enhance the space without overwhelming it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace natural light<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maximising natural light is key to making any space feel larger, even in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKeep sight lines open and trim back any foliage that obstructs sunlight,\u201d Jeannette advises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSheer curtains or shades can provide privacy without blocking out precious light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the privacy aspect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Privacy is essential for creating a comfortable and intimate outdoor dining experience, particularly in a small space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsider installing a privacy screen or trellis adorned with climbing plants to create a natural barrier,\u201d suggests Jeannette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHang curtains or shades around your dining area to block views from neighbouring properties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tall planters filled with lush foliage can also provide privacy while adding beauty and greenery to the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStrategic placing furniture and decor can help create cosy nooks and shield your dining area from prying eyes,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balance is key<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Less is more in a small garden but that doesn\u2019t mean everything needs to be dinky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of small elements can create a very cluttered feel, so you may be better off choosing bigger more dominant features and planting to balance the space,\u201d advises Jenny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut at the same time, don\u2019t overwhelm the space. Think simplicity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider zoning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dividing your garden into zones will help create the illusion of extra space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever small the space might be, try to define different areas within it \u2013 just like inside your home,\u201d advises Lee. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExplore establishing separate areas for relaxing, cooking, dining and socialising. Pergolas are perfect for creating the look and feel of an \u2018outdoor room’, helping to maximise the function and flow of your space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go big on pots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In small garden spaces, pots and potted plants offer year round colour. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can easily switch up your plants in pots to keep them looking great,\u201d advises Steph Chambers, seasonal buying manager at Dunelm<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She suggests opting for traditional stone finish pots to make the plants the hero, or for a more contemporary look, using really bright pots with foliage rather than flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Make sure you buy pots that are frost resistant, if you don\u2019t have a shed\/greenhouse to store them in over winter,\u201d Steph adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFewer big pots will be much easier to care for than lots of small pots, as they\u2019ll hold more water.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create an outdoor \u2018room\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make a small outdoor area feel bigger by making it feel like a continuation of your indoor space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you have a smaller space, it\u2019s really easy to make it feel cosy with lights, cushions and throws to create an outdoor room<\/a>,\u201d explains Steph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is much easier to create this kind of outdoor room in a small garden\/balcony, than it is in a big garden. Outdoor rugs are also great for covering up ugly concrete floors or patios, and you can wash them down with a hose to keep them clean.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While we\u2019ve managed to overlook the shabby reality of a winter garden during the cold and miserable weather, spring is finally on its way and the promise of longer evenings and warmer days has us hankering for outdoor shindigs.
