Small Garden Ideas

Living in a home with a tiny garden or outdoor area doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of what you’ve got. If you get creative with lighting, your plant layout and the furniture you choose, it is easy to create a space that seems larger and more enjoyable to spend time in.

Consider adding a fire pit in the centre of the garden, transforming a small side garden with parquet tiles and chic patio furniture or building an elevated garden that is lit up by romantic fairy lights at night. Take a look at a few small garden design ideas we found on Instagram that will definitely take your tiny garden from drab to fab.

It’s a dull rainy day here on the Wirral so I’ve cleaned and tidied all morning now I’m getting ready to pop to the gym and then Home to chill for the rest of the day! • As part of this year’s kitchen renovation, we will also be revamping our very small back garden and I’m aiming for something like the above! • When buying the house, we weren’t put off by the small garden area as the rooms inside were so spacious with a great big kitchen at the back and especially with such a poor climate here it wasn’t really a big deal! • However, I still want the area to feel like a lovely external room, with the Nicole’s I want to be able to fully open them on a lovely sunny day and kind of use the outdoors space as an extension to the kitchen (if that makes any sense). • So while it’s not big enough for huge trampolines for the kids we can still sort a nice seating and bbq area and I’m planning on having loads of fairy lights too! #outdoors #backgarden #smallgarden #smallgardenideas #instahome #gardendesign #landscaping #lanterns #fairylights #solarlights #bbq #bifolddoors

Modern, clean lines with super low-maintenance artificial grass looks smart all year round 🌳👌 #SaltOfTheEarth

Yes the decking needs another coat of paint, the furniture needs repainting completely and we need to tidy up the edges. BUT when you used to live in a city centre apartment with no outdoor space at all, our little garden feels like the best garden in the world. 🌸🐝 • #workinprogress #garden #outdoorspace #backgarden #backyard #victorianyard #victoriangarden #gardendecor #gardenspace #gardendesign #exteriordesign #decking #smallgarden #smallgardenideas #gardenseating #gardensofa

I’m loving this small Garden space by@Anthonypaullandscapedesign.. We have a very small garden space at the back of our kitchen , it’s lower than the kitchen floor so has a slightly sunken feel , I want to make the most of it as it gets the sun in the morning & shade in the afternoon . I love the built in benches & screening in this picture 😊Hope your Monday has gone well , here’s to the rest of the week ...#smallgardens #smallgardenideas ##interiorlover #interiordesign #interiorblogger #mystylishspace #widn
