HOW TO 

DESIGN SMALL BACKYARD SPACES

One key factor is the utilization of the available area, as smaller spaces require more strategic planning.

WHAT TO CONSIDER

You will also want to consider the selection of plants and materials needed to ensure they complement the style of the backyard while also being scaled appropriately for the size of the space.

PLANTS

Incorporating bold design elements such as a water feature or unique focal point can make a small backyard feel more visually appealing.

WATER FEATURE

A great way to maximize space is by creating vertical gardens, which can be easily constructed using repurposed items such as old pallets.

CREATE BIG IMPACT

Incorporating different textures and colors through the use of plants and hardscaping can make the space feel lush and vibrant.

TEXTURES

You should also select furniture and décor pieces that are multi-functional, lightweight, and space-saving can provide practical and stylish solutions for small backyards.

DECOR
