– Add string lights or solar lanterns. – Repurpose wooden pallets for DIY benches or tables. – Add potted plants or flower boxes. – Use a simple outdoor rug. – Use tall plants for privacy.
Start by choosing multi-functional furniture, like benches with built-in storage or foldable tables, to save space and reduce clutter.
Vertical gardening is a great option to add greenery without taking up ground space, using hanging planters, wall-mounted pots, or trellises.
Create defined zones for different activities, like a seating area, a small garden, or a dining spot, to make the space feel organized and functional.
Keep pathways clear and simple to avoid crowding the area and allow for better flow.
Use mirrors or reflective surfaces to create the illusion of a larger space and make the backyard feel open and airy.
