Three ways to make a small garden look bigger

Try these three simple design tips to add interest and a feeling of space to even the smallest garden.

Introduce curves

Straight lines within a rectangular shape can reinforce a boxy feel, so whether it’s a meandering pathway, a curved lawn edge or a circular patio, once you veer away from a completely linear design, your garden starts to feel more fluid in terms of design. Avoid thinking that having the largest lawn possible automatically makes your garden look bigger – often, the opposite is true. By creating hidden corners, ensuring there’s no direct view of the end of the garden and adding features of much larger gardens into your space, you’ll be amazed at the impact.

Zone your space

Think of your garden’s different functions and dedicate a space, however small, to that specific activity. Make the divisions clear by using low-level planting, pathways or a change of level. A raised area of decking, for example, serves to mark out the dining area where your Supremo Bari garden furniture sits, a raised bed might house your herb garden and a simple bistro set tucked under a tree invites you to relax and read a book.

Make fences and walls multi-task

Where space for guests is limited, build in bench seating onto a fence, or top a low wall with wide, flat paving stones. Built-in seating can also offer useful storage space underneath – a real advantage in a smaller garden.

By following these tips, you’ll soon forget how small your garden is.
