Tips for Landscaping Small Yards and Balconies
When landscaping a small outdoor
space, choosing plants that will
thrive in the limited space and
light conditions is important.
Look for compact plants with
shallow roots that only require
a little maintenance. Some great
options include succulents,
herbs, and small trees like
Japanese maples.
Container gardening is a great
option for small outdoor spaces,
allowing you to grow various
plants without taking up much
space. Choose containers that fit
your design aesthetic and plant
various flowers, herbs, and
vegetables to create a vibrant
and functional outdoor space.
The first step in landscaping a small
outdoor space is to assess your available
space. Look at the size and shape of your
yard or balcony, and think about what you
want to use the space for. This will help
you determine your outdoor space's best
layout and design.
Water features can add a sense of
tranquillity and relaxation to any
outdoor space, no matter how small. A
small fountain or water feature can
provide a soothing sound and a focal
point in your space. Look for fountains
designed for small spaces, such as
tabletop or wall-mounted fountains.
USE FOLDING FURNITURE
One of the biggest challenges of
designing a small balcony is
finding furniture that fits.
Folding furniture can be a great
solution, as it can be easily
stored when not in use. Look for
folding chairs and tables that can
be hung on the wall or stored in a
closet, or consider investing in a
foldable bench or lounge chair.
Maximizing small outdoor spaces
can be a fun and creative
challenge. Incorporating these
tips and tricks, you can
transform your balcony or patio
into a beautiful and inviting
oasis. Remember to keep it
simple, use vertical gardening,
and create a focal point. With
creativity, you can create a
stunning outdoor space you'll
love spending time in.
