Vertical gardens are becoming one of the hottest
trends in backyard makeovers today. tacking
crates, hanging baskets, and attaching tin cans to
your backyard fence give you the green look you
crave in a very compact space.

Mirrors2
Adding mirrors to a space is a method often used
when trying to make a room appear larger than it
is. The illusion of depth is an important aspect of
tiny outdoor spaces, and mirrors are a great way
of not only adding depth but adding character to
your backyard as well.

Think
Smaller3
In order to capitalize on your space, you may
have to downsize a few of your outdoor
appliances, such as a grill or a firepit, to smaller
versions like a charcoal grill or a chimnea.

Murphy
Bar4
This feature functions just like it’s cousin, the
murphy bed, by creating a table for socializing out
of seemingly thin air. When you’re done having
fun, simply fold the bar back up onto your fence
or wall and call it a day.

Adding a nice outdoor carpet, plush furniture, and
lighting fixtures that tie into the room in which your
backyard is attached can make it seem like your
backyard is simply an extension of that room,
without a roof.
